What if I find an error in the NAATI translation?
Report it to the provider immediately with the specific point and the source document. The translator issues a corrected, freshly stamped version. Never edit the file yourself — that voids the certification.
In-depth Answer
Typical issues are date-format swaps, a dropped document number, or place-name spelling — most are quick fixes.
The correct process: (1) list each suspected point with a reference to the source line, (2) send it to the provider, (3) the translator determines whether it is a genuine error or a faithful rendering that differs from your expectation, (4) a complete corrected version is issued and re-stamped rather than patching the old file.
Never edit the PDF yourself, not even one character: the text would no longer match what the translator certified, and if an agency detects it the submission may be treated as an altered document — far more serious than the original error.
If the agency raised the issue, forward their notice so the fix lands in one round.
