Can a translation done outside Australia be accepted?

Yes. For documents translated outside Australia, the Department of Home Affairs asks that the translation show the translator's full name, address, telephone number and qualifications. A NAATI-certified translator working from Thailand meets that requirement and is generally the safest option.

What do you need from me to start a translation?

A clear, complete scan of every page including stamps and back pages, the exact spelling of all personal names as they appear in the passport, and the name of the authority the translation is for. Telling us the destination lets us apply the correct certification format the first time.

คำตอบสั้น · Quick Answer

Certified translation for official use in Thailand and abroad: translations produced by NAATI-certified translators for Australian authorities, by Lawyers Council-recognised translators for Thai government and embassy submissions, and by court-experienced translators for litigation files, each with a signed certificate of accuracy.

ประเด็นสำคัญ · Key Takeaways

Australian government bodies expect the stamp and CPN number of a NAATI-certified translator; the certification belongs to the translator, not to an agency.
Thai ministries and embassies in Bangkok normally require the translation to be certified before it is legalised, not afterwards.
Name spelling must match the passport exactly across every document in a file; mismatches are the most common rejection reason.
Scans are enough to quote and to start work; originals are only needed when the destination requires certification attached to the original.

“Certification attaches to the individual translator — an accepted certified translation shows the translator's name, credentials and signature, not only an agency logo.”

Advice & cautions — certified translation

A translation is accepted because of who certifies it and how it is formatted, not merely because it is accurate. Requirements differ between Thai authorities, embassies, universities and immigration bodies.

Before you start

Ask the recipient which certification they require: translator's certificate, attorney certification, sworn translator, or NAATI (Australia).
Provide a clear scan of the full page including seals, stamps and reverse-side endorsements — cropped scans cause rejection.
Give us the exact spelling of names, companies and place names as they appear on passports or company registration documents.
NYC Legal is an advisory practice, not a drop-off counter: a licensed attorney with 15+ years of cross-border document experience reviews your destination requirement first and tells you the shortest lawful route — including when a step you were told to do is unnecessary.

Watch out for

Machine translation cannot be certified, and re-certifying an outside translation still requires a full re-check.
If the source document is later amended, the translation and every certification above it must be redone.
Service charges and government fees change by official announcement, so no figures are published here — ask our team on +66 83-249-4999 · LINE @NYCLI · nyclegal@ilc.ltd for a written quote before work starts.

Official sources

Documents required and step-by-step certified translation process

Translations submitted to government offices and embassies must match the source exactly and carry a translator's certification in the format the receiving authority accepts.

Documents to prepare

Clear colour scans of every page of the original, including pages carrying seals
Passport spelling of all personal names
The receiving authority's name and its required certification format
Preferred terminology such as company names, job titles and institution names
Deadline and number of certified sets required

Step-by-step process

Assess the document — We review page count, complexity and the certification format the destination requires.
Translate with a subject specialist — The job is assigned to a translator experienced in that document type.
Independent two-stage review — A second linguist checks the translation line by line, especially names, dates and figures.
Issue the certification — A translator's certificate or affidavit is attached in the required format.
Add further legalization if required — We forward the file to the Ministry or embassy when the destination asks for it.

Typical timeline: Standard documents in 1 to 3 business days; technical or high-volume sets take longer in proportion to size.

Doing it yourself vs. letting us handle it

Aspect	On your own	With NYC Legal
Acceptance	Self-made translations rarely carry an accepted certification.	We match the certification format to the receiving authority's rule.
Terminology consistency	Names and titles drift between documents in the same file.	A client glossary keeps every document consistent.
Fixing rejections	A rejected translation usually has to be redone in full.	We revise to the authority's comments until the document is accepted.

Advisory note: We look at your whole document set rather than one page at a time, so names, dates and wording stay consistent across the file and rejections become far less likely.

General vs certified vs MFA-ready vs NAATI translation — the practical differences

Translation comes in several certification levels and receiving authorities do not accept them equally. Choosing the wrong level is a leading cause of rejected files.

Option	What it is	Best for	Watch out for
General (uncertified) translation	Translation for comprehension only, with no certificate of accuracy attached.	Internal use, reading contracts, negotiation support material.	Government offices and embassies will not accept this format.
Certified translation by a translation company	A translation with a signed certificate of accuracy, company seal, translator name and date.	Universities, foreign employers, banks and any authority that accepts certified translations.	Some countries only accept registered (sworn/NAATI) translators — check the destination rules first.
Translation formatted for MFA submission	A translation prepared in the format the Department of Consular Affairs accepts for legalization.	Thai official records that must be used overseas.	Names must match the passport spelling exactly, letter for letter, or the file is rejected.
NAATI / sworn translation	A translation by a translator registered with the destination country's accreditation body.	Australia and other jurisdictions that require registered translators, e.g. visa and licensing files.	Confirm the translator's language pair and certification level match what the authority requires.

How to choose the right route

Check whether the destination specifies certified, sworn, NAATI, or MFA-legalized translation.
Keep the spelling of names and places identical to the passport across every document in the same bundle.
If the translation will be legalized afterwards, tell the translator up front — the cover page and wording differ.
Send us the authority's email or web page and we will confirm the required level for you.

Advisory note

Our team has spent 15+ years on certification and cross-border document work. We are not only a filing agency: we act as advisers who map out which route your document should take, how many layers of certification it needs, and whether the receiving authority will accept it before any work begins. If you would rather not learn this by trial and error, send us the case details and we will map the route for you.

Question

Do I need a NAATI-certified translation?

Answer

If the document is going to an Australian government authority — the Department of Home Affairs, a state registry, a university or a licensing body — the translation should be produced by a NAATI-certified translator and carry the translator's stamp and CPN number. For documents used inside Thailand or at a non-Australian embassy, a Lawyers Council-recognised certified translation is normally the correct format.
