Will the Australian Department of Home Affairs accept a scanned PDF copy of a NAATI translation?

Will the Australian Department of Home Affairs accept a scanned PDF copy of a NAATI translation? — Thai Notary Law works with NAATI-certified practitioners; every page carries the translator stamp and CPN so the file is accepted as submitted. Check that names match the passport spelling before lodgement, and confirm current requirements with the receiving authority.

This page covers how certified translation by a NAATI-certified translator works. A Thai-language document intended for an Australian authority is translated into English by a translator certified by NAATI in the Thai→English direction, then issued with a certification statement and stamp showing the translator's CPN and certification expiry. The original (or a certified copy) is submitted together with the translation.

Key facts at a glance

Certification system	NAATI Certified Translator (individual certification, per language direction)
Language direction	Thai → English (and English → Thai as a separate certification)
What appears on the stamp	Translator name, CPN, language direction, certification expiry
Formats	Digitally stamped PDF for online lodgement; hard copy where a paper file is required
Submitted with	Original document or certified copy
Turnaround	Varies by document volume and delivery method — confirm per job

The rule that decides your format

The Department of Home Affairs distinguishes by where the translation is produced. Translations made **inside Australia** must be done by a translator certified by NAATI. Translations made **outside Australia** do not require NAATI, but the translation must show the translator's full name, address, contact details, qualifications and experience. In practice the NAATI format remains the one Australian authorities recognise most readily. Note that NAATI certifies individuals, never companies — always verify the individual translator's CPN.

Source: Department of Home Affairs — Document translation requirements

Step-by-step process

Send a full scan of the original, including stamps, seals and any text on the reverse
Confirm the spelling of every name character-by-character against the passport before translation starts
State the receiving authority (Home Affairs, a university, a skills assessing body) so the correct certification format is used
A translator certified by NAATI in the matching language direction performs the translation and prepares the certification
The translation is checked against the source, then issued with a stamp showing the CPN, language direction and certification expiry
Delivery as a digitally stamped PDF and/or hard copy, according to what the receiving authority accepts

What to prepare

Previously translated versions, if any, to keep terminology and name transliteration consistent
The original, or a freshly certified copy from the issuing authority (many bodies require it to be under 3–6 months old)
The passport bio page showing the official spelling of names
Any written requirement from the receiving authority specifying a translation format

Why translations get rejected

The translator's certification does not cover the required language direction
Filing the translation without the original or a certified copy alongside it
Leaving stamps, signatures or reverse-side text untranslated
Reprinting or rescanning a digitally signed PDF so the signature can no longer be validated
Assuming Thai consular legalization can substitute for a NAATI translation — they are separate systems

Information current as of 2026-07-26. Requirements differ between receiving authorities — always confirm with the body that will receive your documents.
