Important Notes
Before applying, we recommend contacting the requesting agency for specific instructions regarding translations.
If the translation is required by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) for authentications and apostilles, you should clearly mention this when contacting us.
DFAT has a set of particular format requirements for NAATI certified translations, which require the translator to follow. Your translation is likely to be rejected if it does not meet the format requirements.
