ArabicMeeting Department of Home Affairs Translation Requirements
The Department of Home Affairs asks for an English translation of every document that is not in English. In Australia, it says to use a translator accredited by NAATI. Missing translations may delay an application, whether for a partner, skilled, student, parent or humanitarian visa or for citizenship.
Every Arabic translation we deliver carries the translator's certification statement, with the translator's name and NAATI credential number. We translate every Arabic document a visa application uses: birth, marriage and divorce certificates, police clearances, national ID cards, passports, academic transcripts and employment records.
- Birth, marriage and divorce certificates
- National ID cards, passports and civil registry extracts
- Police clearance certificates
- Academic transcripts and degree certificates
- Bank statements and employment records
- NAATI certified Arabic translators, certification statement included
