Documents we translate from Chile

Driving licence (licencia de conducir) - Chilean driving licences are issued by municipal authorities and include classes such as Clase B (private cars), Clase A (taxis and rideshare), Clase C (trucks) and Clase D (buses). Our translators are familiar with the Chilean licence format and translate all classes, issue dates and restrictions.

Birth certificate (certificado de nacimiento) - Issued by the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificacion. Chilean birth certificates include full name, parents' details, RUN number, place and date of birth, and the registrar's seal. We translate both the certificado for all purposes (para todo tramite) and the specific-purpose versions.

Marriage certificate (certificado de matrimonio) - Issued by the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificacion. We translate both civil marriage certificates and religious marriage certificates that have been registered with the Registro Civil.

Police check (certificado de antecedentes) - Issued by the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificacion. Chile's police check confirms whether you have any criminal convictions recorded. The certificado de antecedentes para fines especiales is typically the version required for Australian visa applications.

Academic transcript and diploma - Chilean university degrees (titulo profesional) and academic records (concentracion de notas) issued by universities recognised by the Ministerio de Educacion. We translate both the degree certificate and the full academic transcript.

Death certificate (certificado de defuncion) - Issued by the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificacion. Required for estate administration, insurance claims and pension transfers involving Chilean nationals in Australia.

Passport and cedula de identidad - The cedula de identidad is Chile's national identity card issued by the Registro Civil. We translate both the cedula and Chilean passport biographical pages, including the RUN number and all identification fields.

Medical reports and vaccination records - Chilean medical documents from hospitals and clinics, including vaccination records and medical certificates required for healthcare worker visa applications and student visa health checks.

Power of attorney (poder notarial) - Notarised powers of attorney from Chilean notarios. We translate the full document including the notarial attestation and any apostille from the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores.

Common situations for Chilean nationals in Australia

Working Holiday Visa (subclass 462) - Chile is an eligible country for Australia's Work and Holiday Visa programme. You'll typically need your police check (certificado de antecedentes) and birth certificate translated. Many Chilean WHV holders work in hospitality, agriculture and tourism across regional Australia.

Student visa applications - Chilean students applying to Australian universities or English language colleges need their academic transcripts, diplomas and sometimes birth certificates translated. Australian institutions require NAATI-certified translations of all non-English academic documents.

Partner and spouse visa (subclasses 309/820) - If your partner is Australian and you're providing Chilean identity documents, birth certificates or police checks as supporting evidence, each document must be accompanied by a NAATI-certified English translation.

Driving licence conversion - Chilean driving licences (Clase B and above) are recognised for temporary driving in most Australian states, but you must carry a NAATI-certified translation alongside your original licence. For full licence conversion, a certified translation is mandatory in every state.

Tips for documents from Chile

RUN number on all documents - The RUN (Rol Unico Nacional) is Chile's universal identification number and appears on virtually every official document - cedula de identidad, birth certificates, driving licences, police checks and academic transcripts. It functions like Australia's tax file number. Our translators preserve the RUN exactly as it appears on your original document.

Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificacion - Chile's Registro Civil issues most civil status documents (birth, marriage, death, police checks) through a single centralised institution. Documents can be obtained online through the Registro Civil website. The standardised format makes Chilean documents straightforward to translate.

Apostille from the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores - Chile joined the Hague Convention in 2016. Official documents intended for use abroad must be apostilled by the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores. If your document has an apostille, upload it with your document - we include the apostille translation at no additional cost.

Certificado de antecedentes versions - Chile issues different versions of the police check for different purposes: para fines especiales (for special purposes, typically required for visas), para fines particulares (for private purposes) and comercial (for commercial purposes). For Australian visa applications, the para fines especiales version is usually required.

Frequently asked questions

For Australian visa applications, the Department of Home Affairs generally accepts NAATI-certified translations without requiring an apostille.
