Translate foreign documents

[Ausway]

Hi my friends,

We are applying for 820/801. The problem is our evidence documents (around 100 pages eg: joint insurance contract, joint property contract, joint bills, bank statements, invoices etc) are all in foreign language

Do we need to translate all evidence documents to English before submit to case officer? The NAATI service charge $99/page that means total cost will be 100x$99=$9,900 ( just for translating only which makes us very nervous)

Immigration require official documents other than English to be translated. That means it will be applied for evidence documents?

Anyone went through this situation before? Appreciate any advice
Thanks and have a good day

Hi,

Yes, all documents in foreign language must be translated to English. The Department will not consider any documents which have not been translated. Although you can use NAATI translator for that, it is not mandatory. You may try using a translator/ bureau of translations in the home country of the applicant. It is often proved to be less expensive. As an alternative, you can try translating excerpts from long documents (e.g.,contracts). What is the home country of the applicant?

Kind regards,
Olena

I can add to the above comment in relation to using a translator in home country is to make sure that the translator is accredited in the home country and then get it certified by the Australian Embassy/Consulate in the home country.
