Why do I need my immigration documents translated?
When applying for a subsequent Australian visa, citizenship, or providing travel history evidence, the Department of Home Affairs may require NAATI certified translations of visa grants, residency permits, travel documents, or other immigration papers issued by another country. This is particularly relevant for humanitarian visa applicants, people with complex travel histories, and those whose previous immigration documents are in a non-English language.
Immigration documents we translate
We translate all types of immigration documentation including visa grant letters, visa labels, residency permits, travel documents (including Convention Travel Documents for refugees), laissez-passer, entry/exit records, deportation or removal orders, immigration detention records, and refugee status determination documents.
Common scenarios
Citizenship applications: Travel history evidence including translated visa grants from previous countries of residence.
Humanitarian visas: Refugee and humanitarian visa applicants often need translated documents from UNHCR, previous countries of asylum, or countries of origin.
