A complete English translation of your birth certificate, signed by a named professional translator, ready to upload to ImmiAccount for a visa or citizenship application.
A NAATI birth certificate translation is what Home Affairs needs when your birth certificate, the usual proof of who you are and who your parents are, isn't in English. VisaDocTranslation offers NAATI certified translation for Australia, and every birth certificate we translate is signed by a named professional translator with their full name, contact details and qualifications, at £41.99 per page, delivered by the next working day.
This translation is for Australian visa and citizenship applications and private use. It isn't for registering a birth with a state or territory births, deaths and marriages registry, and it isn't for Family Court proceedings. See the Australia translation hub for everything else we cover.

Yes, if any part of it isn't in English. Home Affairs asks for an English translation of every document not in English, uploaded together with a copy of the original.
That includes the parts people tend to forget: the registrar's stamp, a marginal note added years later, the handwritten line correcting a surname. We translate all of it, because a translation that skips the marginalia isn't a full translation, however tidy it looks.
For translations made inside Australia, Home Affairs looks for a NAATI credentialled translator. For translations made outside Australia, its guidance asks that the translator is identified by full name, contact details and details of their qualifications and experience. Our named-translator translations carry exactly that, so the case officer can see who stands behind the English.
Child, parent and partner visas use birth certificates to prove family relationships, and many other visa and citizenship applications ask for them as identity evidence for the applicant and any children included.
The birth certificate turns up in more Australian applications than people expect. In family visas it proves a relationship; in skilled and partner visas it often confirms the identity of children included in the application; in citizenship by descent it shows the link to an Australian parent. Same piece of paper, several different jobs (it's the hardest-working document in the drawer).
Check the document checklist for your visa subclass in ImmiAccount before you order, and if you're also sending a marriage certificate or passport and ID documents, upload them together so the names are spelled consistently across the whole set.
Attach a clear colour scan of the original birth certificate and the English translation PDF to the same evidence item in ImmiAccount. Home Affairs generally asks for colour scans rather than certified copies for online applications.
Scan both sides of the certificate, even if the back only holds an apostille or a registrar's stamp. Our translation arrives as a PDF you can attach as-is, with the translator's signature and details already on it.
If the certificate is an extract or a long-form record, upload whichever version your checklist asks for and send us that same version to translate. A translation of a different issue of the certificate, with a different date or serial number, is a mismatch a case officer may well notice.
No. State and territory births, deaths and marriages registries set their own translator requirements, and this service isn't suitable for them. It covers Home Affairs visa and citizenship applications and private use.
We'd rather say so plainly here than have a registry turn the translation back. If you need to register an overseas birth, correct a registry record or apply for an Australian birth certificate, ask that registry which translators it accepts before you order anything.
The same goes for Family Court proceedings, DFAT apostilles and university admission: none of those are covered by our Australian option. For a visa or citizenship file, though, you're in the right place.
£41.99 per page, delivered by the next working day, with 2 free revisions per document. There is no rush option for Australia because a named translator reviews and signs every translation.
Most birth certificates are a single page, so most orders cost exactly that. Long-form certificates and multi-page civil register extracts are charged per page, and the online quote form shows the total before you pay. Australian orders are charged in pounds sterling, and your card provider handles the conversion.
If a date, place name or spelling needs adjusting after delivery, tell us by WhatsApp or email and we'll correct it free of charge. Ready to go? Upload a photo or scan on the quote form.
Yes. We offer NAATI certified translation for Australian visa and citizenship applications, and every birth certificate translation is signed by a named translator with their full name, contact details and qualifications.
Yes. Home Affairs expects a copy of the original document alongside the English translation. For online applications that means a clear colour scan of the original, both sides, plus our translation PDF.
If any information on it isn't in English, including stamps, seals or handwritten notes, it should be translated. We translate the whole document so nothing is left for a case officer to guess at.
No. Births, deaths and marriages registries have their own translator requirements, and this service isn't suitable for them. Check with the registry before ordering a translation for that purpose.
Yes. Australian citizenship applications are one of the uses this service covers. Check the citizenship document checklist for the exact certificate version it asks for.
Your signed translation is emailed as a PDF by the next working day (UK working days). There is no rush tier for Australian orders.
We translate names exactly as they appear on the certificate and can note the passport spelling if you tell us. Send your passport with the order so we can keep the transliteration consistent.
Every document includes 2 free revisions. Tell us what needs changing by WhatsApp or email and we'll send an updated signed PDF.
