PDFATIS provides NAATI-certified Urdu-to-English and English-to-Urdu translation through practitioners holding the appropriate credential for the required translation direction. The most common request is Urdu-to-English translation of Pakistani official documents. English-to-Urdu translation is also available where it suits the receiving organisation.
Not every document or receiving organisation requires NAATI certification. Requirements vary by receiving organisation. Customers should confirm the required documents, translation direction and certification standard with the receiving authority before they order. ATIS does not determine visa, citizenship, admission or licence-conversion eligibility.
The documents below are commonly translated. This is not an exhaustive list, and not every listed document requires NAATI certification. If your document is not shown, select Other Document when requesting a quote.
We regularly assess NADRA-issued identity and family records, including Computerised National Identity Cards (CNIC), National Identity Cards for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP), Pakistan Origin Cards (POC), Child Registration Certificates commonly called B-Forms, Family Registration Certificates (FRC), passports and other identity or family-registration extracts where the actual document can be assessed.
NADRA records can contain Urdu, English or bilingual entries. Names may have several defensible English spellings. Where consistency matters, provide the passport spelling or a previous official translation. Upload the front and back of cards, and include every stamp, note, QR area, endorsement and visible registration detail.
CNIC, B-Form and FRC records are different documents and should not be treated as interchangeable. Other family, civil-registration or identity forms are assessed according to the issuing authority and the visible document title.
Civil-status documents may include birth certificates, Nikah Namas, computerised marriage-registration certificates, divorce certificates, Talaq or dissolution-related records, death certificates and family or civil-registry extracts.
These records may be issued or registered by Secretaries of Union Councils, municipal or local-government authorities, or cantonment and other authorised registration bodies where applicable. Not every Pakistani civil document is issued by a Union Council.
A Nikah Nama records the marriage contract. A computerised marriage-registration certificate is a later registration document. A divorce deed or notice is not the same as a final registration or confirmation record. ATIS translates the visible document. It does not determine whether a marriage, divorce or civil-status event is legally effective.
Pakistani police documents commonly include First Information Reports (FIRs), police reports, complaints and applications, Police Clearance Certificates (PCCs), character certificates, investigation documents, statements, notices and supporting correspondence. Stamps, handwritten annotations, diary numbers and registration details should be included in the scan.
Formats and terminology vary between document types and jurisdictions. We assess records issued by or associated with Punjab Police, Sindh Police, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police (KP/KPK), Islamabad Capital Territory Police (ICT), Balochistan Police, Gilgit-Baltistan Police (GB) and Azad Jammu and Kashmir Police (AJK).
An FIR may contain allegations and procedural information rather than findings of guilt. ATIS translates the visible record without interpreting liability, evidence or legal effect. Translation requirements depend on the receiving authority. Not every visa application requires a PCC, FIR or police report. Customers should confirm police-clearance and character-certificate requirements with the authority requesting them, and upload all pages, stamps, annexures, endorsements and legible handwritten entries.
We can translate Pakistani driver licences, including licences issued by Islamabad Traffic Police in the Islamabad Capital Territory and licences issued by provincial traffic-police authorities, together with visible endorsements and related identity details. Upload both sides and any attached notes.
An Urdu translation does not authorise someone to drive in Australia or guarantee licence conversion. Customers should confirm licence-translation and conversion requirements with the relevant Australian state or territory road authority. See also driver licence translation.
Pakistani land and property documents may include Fard-e-Malkiat or Fard-e-Malkiyat, record-of-rights or ownership extracts, Jamabandi land-revenue records, sale deeds, conveyance or transfer deeds, title-related certificates, registry documents, mutation or Intiqal records, powers of attorney, lease and tenancy documents, and revenue-authority correspondence. English translations and Romanisations of these titles vary.
Land records may contain specialised revenue terminology, plot identifiers, Khewat, Khatauni or Khasra references, shares, boundaries, stamps and handwritten amendments. Complete scans are needed, including schedules, reverse pages and registration endorsements.
ATIS provides translation, not land-title verification, conveyancing or legal advice. A Fard, Jamabandi or mutation entry is not treated here as conclusive proof of legal ownership. Customers should confirm evidentiary and certification requirements with their lawyer, authority or receiving organisation.
We assess Urdu and bilingual academic records issued by Pakistani universities, boards and educational institutions, subject to document legibility, the required translation direction and practitioner availability. Typical records include degrees, diplomas, academic transcripts, detailed marks certificates, result cards, provisional certificates, Matriculation and Intermediate certificates, school and college records, professional or training certificates, and medium-of-instruction or enrolment records where appropriate.
Documents may be issued by institutions such as the University of Karachi, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, the University of Peshawar, the University of Balochistan, Quetta, and other recognised Pakistani universities, boards and educational institutions. ATIS is not affiliated with these institutions and does not endorse qualifications or guarantee admission, recognition or skills-assessment outcomes.
Customers must confirm submission and certification requirements with the university, skills-assessment body or other receiving organisation. Related pages include academic transcript translation, diploma translation and degree certificate translation.
We can also assess employment and experience certificates, reference letters, salary records and payslips, business registrations, contracts and agreements, court documents, affidavits and declarations, powers of attorney, medical records and certificates, personal correspondence where suitable, and government or administrative correspondence.
Not all of these documents require NAATI-certified translation. ATIS translates the visible record and does not provide legal, migration, employment, medical or business advice.
Urdu uses a Perso-Arabic script. Official records commonly appear in Nastaliq layouts, and some files use Naskh or mixed-script content. Right-to-left text and tables need to be followed from the source page rather than rearranged into an English form.
Upload every page, both sides of cards and certificates, clear colour scans or photographs, every edge, stamp, seal and endorsement, annexures and schedules, passport spellings of names, and previous official translations where consistency matters.
ATIS may translate visible apostille certificates, notarial endorsements and the attached Urdu document where that service is available. ATIS does not issue, authenticate, notarise or legalise apostilles, and does not provide legalisation, migration or government-process advice.
Customers should confirm with the receiving authority whether they need the original document, an apostille, a translation, notarisation or another certification step.
Urdu-to-English and English-to-Urdu work is allocated to a practitioner holding the appropriate credential for the required direction where NAATI certification is needed.
Identity, civil-status, police, land, academic and supporting records are assessed from the source document rather than a generic template.
Nastaliq layouts, transliteration, dates, stamps and handwritten amendments are taken from the visible record.
A quote is provided before work begins. Turnaround is confirmed after the document has been assessed.
Upload scans or photographs through the existing quote form. You do not need to post original documents or visit an office.

Turnaround is confirmed after the document has been assessed. We review the language, document type, page count and requested timeframe before work begins.
Translation starts after you accept the quote. Assignments are matched to an appropriately credentialled practitioner where NAATI certification is required and available.
The completed translation is supplied using the available delivery method. Ask when you request your quote if you need another option the service already offers.
Customers can submit documents online from across Australia, including Sydney and surrounding communities such as Auburn, Melbourne and areas such as Tarneit, as well as Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra. There is no local branch claim attached to those suburbs.
City pages with local context are available for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra.
Upload your document and tell us its intended use and required timeframe. We will review it and provide a clear quote before translation begins.
