NAATI Frequently Asked Question

Which corporate documents are translated for business or investment visa streams?

Direct Answer

Typically the certificate of registration, the shareholder list, the memorandum of association, audited financial statements, and tax documents — each translated in full, including seals and signatures.

In-depth Answer

Business and investment streams are assessed largely on figures and ownership structure, so translations must be exact in three areas.

First, entity names and registration numbers: keep the registered form and reproduce the number exactly, and do not translate a company name into English meaning if the company already has a registered English name.

Second, figures and currency: retain the source currency and do not convert it inside the translation, since conversion adds information that was not there.

Third, accounting and legal terms such as share classes, ownership percentages, and notes to the financial statements.

Send the whole set together so terminology stays consistent, and say whether the destination is the visa department or a state investment body, because their document lists differ.
