NAATI Frequently Asked Question

What is a NAATI translation?

Direct Answer

A translation done by a translator credentialed by NAATI (Australia's National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters), stamped with the translator's CPN. Home Affairs and all Australian authorities accept it as proof the translation is accurate and produced by a professional.

In-depth Answer

A NAATI translation is not just 'translate and sign' — it must be produced by a translator who has passed NAATI's certification exam and received a Credential Practitioner Number (CPN).

The translator stamps the translation and adds the exact 'True and accurate translation' declaration prescribed by the NAATI Code of Ethics.

Department of Home Affairs (DHA), every state BDM office, NZQA, VETASSESS, AHPRA, Engineers Australia, and every Australian university accept a NAATI translation as evidence — no separate notary or apostille is needed for Australian use.

NYC's roster covers three NAATI Certified translators across civil, legal, and academic streams; every stamp shows the CPN and recertification expiry so clients can verify them in the NAATI Online Directory in seconds.
