Birth Certificate — NAATI translation (Australia / New Zealand)
Thai national based in Bangkok. Main document: Birth Certificate. Context: an Australian authority required a NAATI-certified translation.
What we handled
- reviewed the originals against the receiving authority's checklist before starting
- sequenced the certification steps around each agency's submission windows
- filed with Department of Home Affairs and other Australian agencies, for onward use in Australia
- point handled along the way: the name spelling on an older document did not match the passport
- Australia is a Hague Convention member, so the Apostille route was the primary path
Outcome summary: the complete set was delivered within the communicated window and filed on the booked date (processing time approx. 1–5 business days, subject to each agency's queue).
Prepare next time: keep a copy of the passport bio page from the start so every document uses the same spelling
