Where should I get a NAATI translation done?
Pick a provider that (1) lists NAATI Certified translators with CPN and expiry, (2) shows a real sample of their translator's stamp, (3) delivers both PDF and hard copy with tracking, and (4) offers free revisions if DHA requests a correction.
In-depth Answer
'Where is best' is never answered by 'the cheapest'.
A NAATI translation that fails will cost you the visa lodgement fee plus the delay.
Screening criteria we use to hire our own translators, and that you should use to pick a provider: (a) the translator must appear in the NAATI Online Directory with a current CPN (3-year recertification), (b) they must send a real sample of their stamp before you engage — the post-2018 NAATI stamp shows CPN, certification level, and expiry, (c) the price must include the stamp and statutory declaration with no add-ons, (d) delivery must include both PDF and hard-copy DHL with tracking, and (e) free revisions if DHA or a state BDM asks for a correction — without that guarantee, the provider doesn't trust their own work.
NYC offers all five plus a 100% refund if a translation is rejected for 'not NAATI certified'.
