Understanding NAATI Certification for Arabic Translation
NAATI — the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters — is the body responsible for certifying translators and interpreters in Australia. A NAATI certified translator has passed rigorous language proficiency and translation accuracy assessments set by NAATI, demonstrating competence in both the source language and English.
The Department of Home Affairs, Australian courts, universities and all government agencies require that foreign-language documents be translated by a NAATI certified translator. Translations produced by uncertified translators — regardless of their language proficiency — are typically not accepted. A NAATI certified translation includes a signed certification statement from the translator, confirming their NAATI credential number and the accuracy of the translation.
