You scored 85 points for your Australia PR. Your skills assessment passed. You submitted your Expression of Interest. You waited 8 months for the invitation.

Then Home Affairs wrote back: Your documents are not NAATI-certified. Application cannot proceed.

You used a translator on Fiverr who charged $3 per page. They had no NAATI stamp. No certification number. No Australian accreditation.

Now your PR window is closing. Your occupation ceiling might fill up. All because you saved $50 on translations.

Why NAATI Translations Get Rejected

The Department of Home Affairs only accepts translations by NAATI-certified translators. No exceptions. Here's why your application fails:

• Not NAATI-Certified: Your translator has no NAATI ID. Home Affairs rejects the document instantly — no review, no appeal on that point.
• Missing NAATI Stamp: Certified translators must include their NAATI seal and certification number on every page.
• Wrong Language Direction: Translator certified for English→Hindi but you needed Hindi→English. Direction matters in NAATI.
• Expired Certification: NAATI credentials expire. An outdated translator ID is invalid.
• No Date/Signature: Each page must show translator name, NAATI number, date, and signature.

Documents You MUST Translate for Australia PR

Missing even one NAATI translation can stall your application for months. Here's your checklist:

• Birth Certificate: Mandatory. Must show parents' names correctly translated.
• Marriage Certificate: If sponsoring a partner, this is required.
• Educational Transcripts: For skills assessment and points claim.
• Employment References: To prove skilled work experience.
• Police Clearance: From every country you lived in for 12+ months.
• Financial Documents: Bank statements, tax returns for certain visas.

Each must be NAATI-certified. No shortcuts. No Fiverr. No regrets.
