How the visa document checker works
Pick your nationality and your Australian visa type. The tool returns the exact list of documents that the Department of Home Affairs requires you to provide with a NAATI certified translation, based on your country of origin and the visa subclass you are applying for. The list is generated from current Home Affairs requirements and updated as those requirements change.
You can use the result as a checklist for your application, or order translations directly from EzyTranslate once you know what you need.
Which Australian visas typically require document translation
The Department of Home Affairs accepts only English documents, or non-English documents accompanied by a NAATI certified translation. The visas where translations are most commonly required include:
- Partner visa (subclass 820/801 and 309/100)
- Student visa (subclass 500)
- Skilled migration visas (subclass 189, 190, 491)
- Working Holiday and Work and Holiday visas (subclass 417 and 462)
- Prospective Marriage visa (subclass 300)
- Skills assessment applications for trades and professional registration
The exact documents required vary by visa subclass and by the country that issued each document. The visa document checker captures both dimensions.
Why NAATI certification is required
NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is the body that credentials translators in Australia. The Department of Home Affairs only accepts translations completed by NAATI certified translators for visa applications.
Translations done by friends, family members, online machine translation tools, or non-NAATI translation services are not accepted, regardless of accuracy. Submitting a non-NAATI translation results in a Request For Further Information at best, and can contribute to a refusal under Public Interest Criterion 4020 if the translation is treated as misleading.
A valid NAATI certified translation includes the translator's full name, NAATI credential number, signature, and the date of the translation, and is provided alongside the original document or a certified copy.
What happens after you get your document list
Once the tool returns your list, you can order the translations directly. Each document is translated by a NAATI accredited translator and delivered as a PDF to your inbox within 24 to 48 hours. Documents start from AU$69 each, with bundle pricing for the most common visa combinations.
Visa bundles cover the documents typically required for a specific visa pathway at a reduced rate compared to ordering each document individually.
