European nationals applying for Australian visas need NAATI certified translation for all non-English documents. Whether your documents are in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, or any other European language, NYC Legal provides professional NAATI certified translation accepted by all Australian government agencies.

We ensure every translation meets the exacting standards of the Australian Department of Home Affairs.

NAATI Certification Process for European Documents
When we receive documents from European clients, our process begins with a thorough review of the source document to identify the document type, language, and any special requirements. We then assign the translation to a NAATI certified translator who specialises in the relevant language pair and document type. The translator completes the translation while maintaining the exact format, structure, and legal terminology of the original document. A senior reviewer then checks the translation for accuracy, consistency, and compliance with Australian immigration requirements. Finally, the translation is certified with the translator's NAATI stamp, signature, and unique certification number. This three-stage quality assurance process ensures every translation meets the highest standards of accuracy and professionalism.
Frequently Asked Questions from European Clients
Do I need NAATI translation if my documents are already in English? Documents issued in English by UK, Irish, or other English-speaking authorities generally do not need translation. However, documents in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, or any other non-English language must be translated by a NAATI certified translator. Can I use a sworn translator from my country instead? No, the Australian Department of Home Affairs specifically requires NAATI certified translation. Sworn translations from European courts are not accepted for Australian visa applications. How long does translation take? Standard service delivers within 24 hours, express within 12 hours, and urgent within 6 hours. We recommend allowing at least 2 weeks before your visa appointment to account for any additional document requirements. What if my document is in multiple languages? We can handle documents that contain text in multiple languages, ensuring every section is accurately translated and certified.
