Why do I need my court order translated?
Overseas court orders need NAATI certified English translations before they can be presented to Australian courts, used in legal proceedings, or submitted to government departments. This applies to family law orders, custody arrangements, property judgments, restraining orders, and any other court-issued documents.
If you're seeking enforcement of an overseas judgment in Australia, or if overseas court orders are relevant to Australian proceedings, a certified translation is mandatory.
Legal documents from every jurisdiction
Court orders come from civil law courts, common law courts, religious courts, and administrative tribunals worldwide. Our translators are experienced with legal terminology and conventions from all major legal systems and accurately render court orders, judgments, and decrees into English with the precision Australian courts expect.
