Colombian Document Translation - NAATI Certified for Australia

Driving licence (licencia de conduccion) - Colombian driving licences are issued by the Ministerio de Transporte and include vehicle categories (A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3). Our translators are familiar with the Colombian licence format and translate all categories, issue dates and biometric data fields.

Birth certificate (registro civil de nacimiento) - Issued by the Registraduria Nacional del Estado Civil. Colombian birth certificates include full name, parents' details, place and date of birth, serial number and the registrar's seal. We translate both original and duplicate copies.

Marriage certificate (registro civil de matrimonio) - Issued by the Registraduria Nacional or a notaria for civil marriages. We translate both civil and religious marriage certificates from Colombia.

Police check (certificado de antecedentes judiciales) - Issued by the Policia Nacional de Colombia. Also known as the certificado judicial, this confirms whether you have any criminal record in Colombia. Required for most Australian visa applications.

Academic transcript and diploma - Colombian university degrees (titulo profesional) and academic records (certificado de notas) issued by universities registered with the Ministerio de Educacion Nacional. We translate both the degree certificate and the full academic transcript.

Death certificate (registro civil de defuncion) - Issued by the Registraduria Nacional del Estado Civil. Required for estate administration, insurance claims and pension transfers involving Colombian nationals in Australia.

Passport and cedula de ciudadania - The cedula de ciudadania is Colombia's national identity card. We translate both the cedula and Colombian passport biographical pages, including all security features and identification numbers.

Medical reports and vaccination records - Colombian medical documents from hospitals and clinics, including the carnet de vacunacion required for healthcare worker visa applications and student visa health checks.

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

Apostille from the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores - Colombia joined the Hague Convention in 2001. Official documents intended for use abroad must be apostilled by the Cancilleria (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores). If your document has an apostille, upload it with your document - we include the apostille translation at no additional cost.

Registraduria Nacional documents - Birth, marriage and death certificates from Colombia's Registraduria Nacional del Estado Civil have a standardised format with serial numbers and security features. Our translators are trained on these formats and accurately translate every field, including the registro civil serial number.

Certificado de antecedentes judiciales - Colombia's police check is issued online by the Policia Nacional through their website. The certificate includes your full name, cedula number and clearance status. Make sure you download a current version (usually valid for 3–6 months) before ordering the translation.

NUIP and cedula numbers - Colombian documents use the NUIP (Numero Unico de Identificacion Personal) for citizens born after 2000 and the cedula de ciudadania number for adults. These identification numbers appear across multiple document types and are preserved exactly in the translation.
