For a move from the Netherlands to Australia, first identify the application or organisation requesting your records. Separate immigration documents from requests by a school, employer or professional body. Ask each recipient for its current checklist and translation instructions.<\/p>\n
The Department of Home Affairs explains in its guidance on attaching documents<\/a> that the application form tells you which records to attach and when. Keep your own copies: supporting documents cannot be accessed in ImmiAccount after upload.<\/p>\n Translation instructions should be checked on the page for the application you are actually making. For example, the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) guidance<\/a> requires non-English documents to be translated into English and supplied with the source documents.<\/p>\n That guidance distinguishes translators in Australia, who must have NAATI accreditation, from translators outside Australia. For the latter, it requires the translator\u2019s full name, address and telephone number, qualifications and relevant language experience, all in English. Send us your applicable instructions so we can confirm the arrangements for your document set.<\/p>\n Translate the documents requested for your situation, rather than treating every record you own as a requirement. If civil-status records are needed in English, our birth certificate translation<\/a> and marriage certificate translation<\/a> services provide relevant enquiry routes.<\/p>\n For education records, use our diploma and transcript translation service<\/a>. Give the receiving institution\u2019s instructions separately if the same records will also be used for admission or recognition.<\/p>\n Include all requested pages and make sure names, dates, signatures and stamps are readable. Flag any differences in names across the records, and supply the spelling used in your application as reference material.<\/p>\n Use our document preparation checklist<\/a> before sending the files. Explain the required delivery format and any copy or authentication requirement, together with the deadline for the complete document set.<\/p>\nCheck the instructions for your visa stream<\/h2>\n
