NAATI Frequently Asked Question

How many copies of a NAATI translation should I order?

Direct Answer

Usually a digital file for online lodgement plus at least two hard copies — one for any agency that wants paper and one for your own records.

In-depth Answer

Estimating the count up front saves real money and time, because a later top-up restarts the delivery cycle.

Method: count the bodies that will actually receive paper — skills assessor, university, immigration, employer — then add one spare.

For civil-registry documents that recur across processes, such as birth and marriage certificates, a spare set always pays for itself.

Keep the high-resolution digital master in secure storage with a cloud backup: reprints are much faster when the original file is on hand.

If you may move house while waiting, confirm the final delivery address before the consignment is created to avoid a returned parcel.
