NAATI certified translations

from Italian, Spanish and Portuguese to English

NAATI Certified translator badge

A “NAATI certified translation” is one that has been done by a NAATI Certified Translator who certifies and stamps their translation. This guarantee of quality generally reflects the following features:

  1. The translator has passed the NAATI Certified Translator test and has remained current by recertifying their credentials every three years. The translator’s credentials can be confirmed online using NAATI’s Verify Credential function and entering their NAATI number.
  2. The translator’s NAATI stamp containing their name and NAATI number is affixed to the translation – either the NAATI digital stamp with a QR code or the NAATI physical stamp with a handwritten signature. See more about NAATI stamps here.
  3. And finally, the translator adds a certification statement such as “this is a true and accurate translation of the Italian text on an electronic copy of the attached document. It has been translated to the best of my knowledge and ability on today’s date”. The exact wording may vary, but it is usually worded in accordance with the AUSIT Recommended Best Practices for the Translation of Official and Legal Documents.

NAATI has given Certified Translators other names in the past. Up until January 2018 they were known as Accredited Professional Translators, and before that they were called Level 3 Advanced Translators. If you need an Accredited Translator or Level 3 Translator, they are called Certified Translators today. In some other language combinations, the translator may only be awarded a Recognised Practising Translator credential, but for Italian, Portuguese and Spanish translations it must be a Certified Translator.

Extract translations

from Italian, Spanish and Portuguese to English

Unless otherwise specified TradTrans will provide full translations. However many documents can also be translated in a format known as an ‘extract’ translation. This means that the important information is extracted from the certificate and laid out in a way that government departments can use to quickly and easily find the information they need. In contrast to a ‘full’ translation the layout and design are quite different to the source document, but all the important information is still included. The difference is that it is formatted in a way that is easy for Australian government departments to follow, and eliminates unnecessary extraneous information.

If you don’t require a full translation, ask for an extract translation instead. Because it is a standard format document it allows for a faster translation, saving you both time and money. Extract translations are charged at a flat rate per certificate, even if it is a multi-page certificate. Please note, it is your responsibility to ascertain whether the end user will accept an extract translation or not. Responses vary depending on which government department or authority you are dealing with. For instance the Department of Home Affairs (immigration) is traditionally considered to be in favour of extract translations, whereas the Australian Passport Office (DFAT) usually requests a full translation.

Documents that are well suited to extract translations include: Payslips, tax returns, bank statements, pension contributions, residential lease contracts, real estate contracts to buy/sell property, vaccination records, and utility bills (electricity, telephone, internet).

Type of information included in an extract translation:

  • Names
  • Dates
  • Places
  • Signatory/issuing authority
  • Reference numbers
  • Relevant additional information

Type of information excluded from an extract translation:

  • Stamp duty
  • Local legislative information
  • Terms and conditions
  • Irrelevant additional information
