Certified translations for Brisbane and Queensland

ATIS® assists Brisbane residents, interstate movers, international students, visa applicants, legal practitioners and employers who need English translations of overseas or non-English documents. The work is completed by an appropriately credentialed NAATI-certified translator and returned as a certified PDF by email.

The same secure online service is available throughout Queensland, including Logan, Ipswich, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Redlands, Toowoomba, Townsville, Cairns, Mackay, Rockhampton and Bundaberg. Documents are uploaded through the website. ATIS® does not operate a branch in each of these places.

NAATI is Australia’s credentialing authority for translators and interpreters. The organisation that will receive your file — Transport and Main Roads, a university, a court registry, Home Affairs or another body — decides whether a particular translation meets its checklist.

Translation Services Across Brisbane

Customers across Brisbane South and Brisbane North can upload documents online and receive the available certified PDF by email. ATIS® does not claim a shopfront in these suburbs.

Brisbane South

Secure online ordering is available to customers around Sunnybank, Sunnybank Hills, Runcorn, Calamvale, Robertson, Macgregor, Eight Mile Plains and Upper Mount Gravatt. Requests from this part of Brisbane often include Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Korean and Punjabi documents for visas, study, civil status and licensing. Language needs vary between households, so choose the source and target languages when you request a quote.

Brisbane North

Customers around Chermside, Aspley, Carseldine, Zillmere, Nundah and nearby northern suburbs can use the same upload process. Punjabi and Hindi translations are commonly requested for skilled-migration, civil and employment files, alongside other language pairs. You do not need to travel to East Brisbane to start an order.

Queensland uses for a NAATI-certified translation

The notes below describe common Queensland request types. They are not a substitute for the current official instructions that apply to your application.

Overseas driver licences in Queensland

Queensland Transport and Main Roads requires a recognised English translation when a non-English overseas licence is presented for transfer to a Queensland licence. Drivers using a non-English overseas licence in Queensland should also carry a recognised English translation. ATIS® can arrange translations prepared by NAATI-certified translators for eligible overseas driver licences. A translation does not decide whether TMR will transfer the licence, and this page does not give legal or insurance advice.

Immigration and visa documents

ATIS® translates birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce records, police clearances, passports, identity cards, family records, employment evidence and academic qualifications that applicants may need for visa or citizenship files. Pathways such as subclasses 189, 190, 491 and 500 each have their own document checklist. Skills-assessment bodies such as Engineers Australia, VETASSESS and the Australian Computer Society also set their own translation rules. Confirm the current instructions for the receiving organisation. A translation does not determine a visa outcome, and ATIS® is not affiliated with Home Affairs.

Academic documents for Queensland study

Students and graduates commonly need translations of academic transcripts, degree certificates, diplomas, TAFE or vocational certificates, course-completion records and supporting admissions files. The University of Queensland’s current policy requires non-English documentation to include an English translation completed by a NAATI-certified translator or another recognised category described in that policy. QUT and Griffith University publish their own instructions, which can differ by course. Check the current requirements for the institution that will receive the file. This page does not claim that every Queensland university always requires a NAATI translation.

Legal and court documents

ATIS® translates court orders, police and criminal records, statutory declarations, affidavits, family-law documents and supporting correspondence. Certification and filing rules can differ between Queensland Magistrates, District and Supreme Court registries and between practitioners. Confirm the applicable requirements before you order. Written translation is separate from interpreting at a hearing or appointment. This page does not claim affiliation with Queensland Courts or automatic acceptance of every translation.

Employment and professional documents

Employers and registration bodies may ask for translations of employment contracts, reference letters, payslips, professional registrations, training certificates and healthcare or aged-care employment papers. Tagalog or Filipino translations are sometimes requested for employment and healthcare-registration files; other language pairs are equally available where the combination can be fulfilled. The receiving employer or authority sets its own requirements. This is not careers or migration advice.

Financial, property, medical and insurance documents

ATIS® translates bank statements, tax assessments, property-ownership papers, business records and loan-supporting documents, as well as medical reports, vaccination certificates, health assessments, specialist reports and insurance correspondence. Translation is not financial, legal, medical or insurance advice. The receiving bank, insurer or clinician decides what it will accept.

DFAT legalisation and overseas use

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade can legalise certain documents after they have been translated. DFAT currently accepts qualifying translations completed by a NAATI-certified or recognised translator that include the required translator details, seal and date. DFAT does not legalise every document. Eligibility depends on the document and the intended destination. Customers should confirm the receiving authority’s instructions before ordering.

Featured languages for Brisbane

Brisbane customers can order translations across 100+ languages. Featured language services include Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Vietnamese, Punjabi, Hindi, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog/Filipino, Japanese and Samoan. Common uses vary by document, not by suburb. Select the source and target languages when requesting a quote or placing an order.
