NAATI Translation — Relationship Photo Captions for Australia
Photos themselves need no translation, but Thai text on images, wedding invitations, event banners or attached captions may need translating so the recipient understands them. Arrange photos chronologically with truthful dates, places and people. Applicants may write their own English captions; Thai text appearing in images or supporting documents should be translated by a translator verified in NAATI Directory. Translation does not confirm when a photo was taken or that a relationship is genuine.

Scope to confirm before translation
| Recipient | Thai text in photos or relationship supporting documents |
|---|---|
| Language direction | Thai to English — verify translator certification in NAATI Directory |
| Translation timing | Agreed after file review; recipient processing is separate |
| Delivery | PDF or print as agreed and requested by the recipient |
| Application outcome | Determined by the recipient; not guaranteed by translation |
What should you prepare for this document?
- Choose photos of both partners across different times and occasions, in date order.
- Separate images containing Thai text such as invitations, banners or keepsakes.
- List relevant people pictured, such as family, for accurate captions.
What may lead to a request for replacement documents?
- Large photo sets without dates or explanation.
- Thai invitations or banners left untranslated.
- Captions with dates or people inconsistent with other evidence.
These are preparation checks, not universal rejection rules. The recipient determines the evidence required.
What should not be guessed or changed?
Do not add dates or places you are unsure of, edit or combine photos into one apparent event, or ask a translator to certify applicant-written captions as fact.

Frequently asked questions
Do couple photos need NAATI translation?
Photos have no text to translate. What may need translating is visible Thai text such as invitations, banners or greeting cards. English captions you write yourself are not translation work.
Does a Thai wedding invitation need translation?
If attached as evidence, translate the couple’s names, date, venue and hosts as printed. This helps the recipient link the card to event photos; decorative text without substance need not be translated.
Can I write photo captions myself?
Yes. Applicants usually write the date, place and occasion in English. Use verifiable details; if unsure of a date, give an approximate period rather than guessing an exact day.
How many photos should I send?
There is no single number for every case. Check Home Affairs guidance and choose photos across different periods and occasions rather than many from one day.
Should Thai family members in photos be named?
Stating relationships, such as the applicant’s parents, helps the recipient understand context. Use spellings consistent with other documents and do not identify people you are unsure of.
Can a translation confirm when a photo was taken?
No. The translator certifies only the accuracy of translated text. When a photo was taken, or whether a relationship is genuine, is the applicant’s information and the recipient’s assessment.
