NAATI Certified Translation in Dubai

Applying for an Australian visa from the UAE? You do not need a NAATI-accredited translator. You need a certified translation completed by a translator accredited by the UAE Ministry of Justice. At LegalTranslator, we provide certified translations that meet the requirements of Australian authorities for applicants translating from outside Australia.

What is NAATI?

NAATI (the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is Australia’s official accrediting body for translators and interpreters. It authorizes translators to provide official translations for use in Australia. 

But its rules only apply to translations completed in Australia. If you’re translating documents from the UAE, you do not need a NAATI-accredited translator. 

For applicants translating from outside Australia, the Department of Home Affairs requires a properly certified translation completed by a professional translator. This translation must include the translator’s full name, address, phone number, and qualifications. A certified translation by a UAE MOJ-accredited translator meets that standard.

NAATI vs. Certified Translation: When Do You Need Each One?

If you are translating documents inside Australia, you need a NAATI-accredited translator. But if you are translating documents in the UAE for an Australian visa or Embassy use, you need a UAE-MOJ-certified translation. 

That said, requirements can vary slightly depending on the visa subclass or the office assessing your application. So confirm with the receiving authority before you submit.

How Does NAATI Translation Work?

  1. Project Evaluation: Once you submit your documents for online NAATI translation, our team will review them and provide a detailed quote and an estimated turnaround time.
     
  2. Translator Assignment: We will assign your document to a professional translator accredited by the UAE Ministry of Justice. The assigned translator possesses expertise in your industry and is fluent in both the source and target languages.
     
  3. Translation Process: Our translator will meticulously translate your content while preserving the original message, tone, and style.
     
  4. Quality Assurance: After the translation is completed, a second translator will proofread and edit the content to ensure it is free from errors and inconsistencies.
     
  5. Final Delivery: Once the translation has passed our quality assurance checks, we will deliver the final, polished version to you in your preferred format. We take pride in our work and are committed to exceeding your expectations.
