Police Check Translation: NAATI Certified

Police clearance certificates from your country of origin are required for most Australian permanent visa categories and character assessments. The Department of Home Affairs requires a NAATI certified English translation of any police certificate not issued in English.

Why NAATI certification is required

Character assessments are legally significant. Home Affairs requires the highest standard of translation accuracy. NAATI certification ensures your translator is qualified to handle sensitive legal documents.
