NAATI Translation for Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143)

Birth certificates of every child · House registrations of the applicant and children · Marriage, divorce and death certificates · Name-change certificates · Thai-language medical and insurance documents

Parents of Australian citizens/PR holders who must pass the balance-of-family test, which relies on civil-registry documents for every child.

Incomplete child birth certificates, making the balance-of-family test impossible to verify · Inconsistent child name spellings with no name-change certificate · Using an outdated house registration extract

Typically 2–3 working days. Pricing is per page or per word, and you get a free written quote before any work starts.

Department of Home Affairs generally requires translations produced inside Australia to come from a NAATI-credentialled translator, while translations produced outside Australia must show the translator's full name, address, qualifications and experience. A NAATI Certified translation is the safest and most familiar option for case officers.

For an Australian visa lodgement, generally no — NAATI is Australia's own translation credential. If the same documents are also used by Thai authorities or a third country, separate Department of Consular Affairs legalisation may be required. NAATI certification and Thai MFA translation certification are not interchangeable.

Yes. High-resolution colour scans in which every stamp and signature is legible are sufficient for NAATI work. Originals are only needed when Thai MFA legalisation runs alongside the translation.

No. Visa decisions rest solely with the Department of Home Affairs. We are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the translation, and we correct translator errors free of charge.
