Translations for Australia: caveats
- Australian government bodies generally require a NAATI-certified translation for documents not in English; the translator's certification number and stamp must be visible on every page.
- Documents issued in Thailand may also need Thai-side certification when the Australian authority asks for an authenticated original, so check both requirements before ordering.
- Provide the passport spelling of all names and any previous names — inconsistencies trigger requests for further information and delay the visa decision.
