NAATI Frequently Asked Question

Translating a Thai house registration (Tabien Baan) with NAATI

Direct Answer

Use a copy certified by the district registrar and reasonably recent, scan every page bearing the applicant's name including the householder page, and send high-resolution colour files.

In-depth Answer

The Thai house registration (Tor Ror 14) is used by Australian agencies to evidence address, household relationships and, in partner cases, part of the relationship history.

The most common cause of rework is an incomplete scan — especially the page carrying the house identification number and the move-in/move-out records.

Best practice: obtain a registrar-certified copy at the district office, scan the full page in colour without cropping, and confirm the English spelling of names exactly as printed in the passport.

Spelling mismatches across documents are a leading trigger for requests for further information.

If the document will also be used outside Australia, plan the Thai MFA legalisation step in parallel so you do not need to re-issue copies later.
