Task guide

Citizenship documents

• Provide the original-language document and its English translation.
• For translations made in Australia, Home Affairs requires NAATI-accredited translators. For work done overseas, follow the translation instructions on the relevant application page.
• Keep the application's document checklist and any case-specific request with the translation brief.

Passport documents

• Foreign-language supporting documents must be translated in full by an approved service.
• For an overseas translation, confirm the post's accepted translator requirements. In Mexico, the embassy says the translator must be certified by a relevant local authority and can provide a recognised-translator list.
• Arrange the originals and translations the passport post asks to see; a citizenship upload alone does not complete passport lodgement.

Before ordering

Record the receiving authority, language, certification and original/copy requirements in your translation request. There is no universal rule here requiring an apostille on every document; record the authority's actual instructions.

Your task record

Check each receiving authority's translation and document rules. Passport instructions require foreign-language documents translated in full by an approved service. Confirm citizenship requirements separately before approving a quote.
