FAQs
Translation, Interpreting –
What’s the Difference?
Translation involves converting written text from one language to another, such as English to Spanish or Spanish to English.
Interpreting is the real-time spoken translation of conversations or presentations, such as meetings or events. As a NAATI-certified English-Spanish translator and interpreter, I can provide both these services.
Do You Provide NAATI Translations?
Yes, I provide NAATI-certified English to Spanish and Spanish to English translations, which are officially recognised by Australian authorities for immigration, legal, and other official purposes.
What Is a NAATI-Certified Translation?
A NAATI-certified translation is done by a translator who has passed rigorous exams and assessments by NAATI, Australia’s National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters. It typically features the full, accurate translation of your document, the translator's NAATI stamp, and a certification statement attesting to the truth and accuracy of the translation.
What Types of Documents
Do You Translate?
I specialise in translating personal documents, including academic transcripts, bank statements, birth certificates, diplomas, driver's licences, marriage certificates for visa and job applications. If you're unsure whether your document fits, feel free to ask!

NAATI-Certified Translations?
Absolutely! Once your translation is complete and certified with my NAATI ink stamp and signature, I will dispatch it via Australia Post. You will receive a tracking number so you can follow its journey until it arrives at your door.
