A full English translation of your marriage certificate for partner visa and citizenship applications, signed by a named professional translator and ready for ImmiAccount.
A NAATI marriage certificate translation is usually the first document a married couple prepares for an Australian partner visa, and the one the rest of the file leans on. VisaDocTranslation offers NAATI certified translation for Australia: your marriage certificate is translated in full and signed by a named professional translator with their full name, contact details and qualifications, at £41.99 per page, by the next working day.
This translation is for Home Affairs visa and citizenship applications and private use. It isn't for registering a marriage with a births, deaths and marriages registry or for Family Court proceedings. More on what we cover is on the Australia translation hub.

Yes, if it isn't entirely in English. Home Affairs asks for an English translation of every non-English document, uploaded alongside a colour scan of the original.
For married applicants, the marriage certificate is the formal proof that the relationship exists in law. Home Affairs still assesses the relationship as a whole, but the certificate is where the case officer starts, so it should be complete: names, dates, places, witnesses, the officiant, the registration number and every stamp on the page.
Our translations follow the layout of the original so the case officer can match each line to its source without squinting. Every certificate stamp gets translated too, which in some countries means more stamps than signatures (the paperwork equivalent of a well-attended wedding).
Married applicants for the onshore partner visa (subclass 820/801) and the offshore partner visa (subclass 309/100) generally provide their marriage certificate, translated into English if it isn't in English.
The marriage certificate also appears in other places: as evidence of a spouse included in a skilled visa (189, 190 or 491), as a name-change record for a citizenship application, or as proof of relationship for a visitor visa if you're travelling together.
Partner visas look at four aspects of a relationship: its financial side, the nature of the household, its social side and the commitment between you. The certificate covers only part of the picture, so you may also be translating bank statements showing joint finances. If either of you was married before, you'll typically need the divorce certificate as well.
No. Births, deaths and marriages registries set their own translator rules, and this service isn't suitable for them. It's for Home Affairs visa and citizenship applications and private use.
The same applies to any Family Court matter, and to DFAT apostille requests. If a registry, court or DFAT is your audience, ask them which translators they accept before ordering.
If a marriage celebrant asks for a translation as part of the paperwork for a wedding in Australia, check with the celebrant what they accept, since that paperwork feeds into registration. For the visa file itself, our signed translation is built for exactly what Home Affairs describes.
A complete English translation of every part of the certificate, plus the translator's full name, signature, contact details and qualifications so Home Affairs can identify who prepared it.
Complete means complete. Partial translations, summaries and self-translations are among the most common reasons a case officer asks for more information. Ours cover every field, seal and handwritten annotation, and anything illegible is marked as illegible rather than guessed.
If names are transliterated from another script, tell us the spelling used in your passports when you order. We'll keep the translation consistent with your identity documents so the case officer isn't left wondering whether two spellings belong to the same person.
£41.99 per page, delivered by the next working day, with 2 free revisions per document. There's no rush option because a named translator reviews and signs every Australian translation.
Most marriage certificates are one page. Family-register extracts and multi-page marriage records are charged per page, and you'll see the full total on the quote form before you pay. Australian orders are charged in pounds sterling.

It proves the marriage, but Home Affairs assesses the relationship as a whole, including finances, household, social life and commitment. Most couples also provide joint financial records and other evidence.
No. De facto partners provide evidence of the relationship instead, and any non-English documents in that evidence need translating in the same way.
No. Births, deaths and marriages registries have their own translator requirements, and this service isn't suitable for them.
No. Family Court proceedings are not covered by our Australian service. Check the court's requirements and use a translator it accepts.
For online applications Home Affairs generally asks for clear colour scans of the original rather than certified copies. Upload the scan and our translation PDF together.
