Document Translation

In a multicultural country like Australia, accurate and certified document translation is essential for a wide range of legal, personal, and professional purposes. Whether you're applying for a visa, conducting business overseas, enrolling in educational institutions, or preparing for a legal proceeding, your documents must be translated correctly and often certified by a legal document notary in Australia.

At Notary Australia, we specialise in providing certified document translation and notary services that meet official requirements—locally and internationally.


Why Document Translation Matters

Many government agencies, universities, courts, and foreign embassies require official documents in English or another specified language. A simple error in translation can lead to delays, rejections, or legal complications.

That’s why choosing a trusted provider like Notary Australia ensures your translated documents are accurate, professionally handled, and ready for legal use.


Types of Documents We Translate

Our professional translators and notaries can assist with a wide range of documents, including:

  • Birth certificates

  • Marriage certificates

  • Academic transcripts and diplomas

  • Visa and immigration documents

  • Legal contracts and agreements

  • Medical records

  • Driver’s licences and ID cards

  • Business registration and company documents

  • Power of attorney and legal declarations

These translations can also be certified or notarised where required, depending on the nature of the document and the destination country’s regulations.


Certified vs. Notarised Translation – What’s the Difference?

Many clients are unsure about the difference between a certified translation and a notarised translation. Here's a quick breakdown:

  • Certified Translation: A qualified translator signs a certificate stating that the translation is accurate and complete. This is often accepted by Australian government bodies and institutions.

  • Notarised Translation: A legal document notary in Australia witnesses the translator’s declaration, verifying their identity and the authenticity of the document. This is often required for documents being submitted abroad or for legal proceedings.

At Notary Australia, we provide both certified and notarised translations, depending on your specific needs.
