Recent order experience: in ABC Translation Australia’s recent service records, customers ordering Taiwan bank statement translations used them as Payment Evidence for an ACS Migration Skills Assessment. The need for bank statements, the period covered and any other payment evidence depend on ACS’s current requirements, the Assessment Pathway and the applicant’s document checklist.

For a NSW overseas licence transfer, Service NSW accepts translations only from its specified providers. An ordinary commercial NAATI translation does not meet that procedure’s translation requirement. Driving and car-hire use are separate from licence transfer; tell us your intended use when enquiring.

Keep your source document with the translation. The same document can have different requirements in different procedures, including whether to provide an original, a scan or a certified copy. For visa applications, use the Department of Home Affairs’ Check twice, submit once guidance when preparing documents and translations.

How to order: five online steps

  5. Receive your translation. Receive the PDF. If you need paper copies or postage, select an option offered on the service page or in your written quote.

What is a translation by a NAATI-certified translator?

It is a translation completed by a practitioner certified by NAATI for the relevant language direction, with the translator’s signature, stamp and certification details. For this service, the translator renders the Chinese information in your Taiwan document into English.

On receipt, check the translator’s name, Certified Practitioner Number (CPN) and language direction. Use NAATI’s official certification check to verify the responsible translator’s credential.

The translation does not alter the original document, authenticate the original or guarantee the outcome of an application.

Translation, certified copies, witnessing and legalisation

  • NAATI translation: translates the source document and includes the responsible translator’s certification details.
  • Certified copy: confirms that a copy matches the original sighted; it is not a translation.
  • JP witnessing: witnessing or certification performed by a Justice of the Peace for particular documents or procedures; it is separate from translation.
  • Notary Public: a notary handles signatures, copies or particular legal procedures.
  • Apostille or Authentication: DFAT’s legalisation of signatures, stamps or seals on eligible Australian public documents.

You do not need to purchase every step simply because a document will be used overseas. Obtain the recipient’s written requirements, then check the issuing jurisdiction, destination country and sequence of any additional procedures. See DFAT’s guidance on documents it can legalise.

Three examples from our Taiwan document translation work

These anonymised examples describe individual translation jobs recorded by ABC Translation Australia. Their delivery times and submission circumstances are specific to those jobs.

Household registration transcript for Australian citizenship

A customer applying for Australian citizenship needed an English translation of a Taiwan household registration transcript containing several handwritten additions. We checked the handwritten entries with the customer, field by field, before finalising the translation.

We translated the entire document without extracting selected parts and delivered a PDF bearing the NAATI translator’s electronic stamp on the same day.

Birth certificate requested at an Australian passport appointment

A customer lodging a passport application at Australia Post was asked at the counter for an English translation of their Taiwan birth certificate. They contacted us from the post office and received a PDF bearing the NAATI translator’s electronic stamp within one hour. They used it to continue the appointment without making another trip.

This records one customer’s experience, rather than a one-hour delivery promise for every birth certificate. Prepare the translation before the appointment using the official application checklist and any instructions for your application.

Military discharge certificate for a skilled visa character requirement

A skilled visa applicant submitted an English translation of a Taiwan military discharge certificate to Home Affairs as evidence of their service status: compulsory service completed and no current military position. We translated both pages of the certificate in full and delivered the translation that day.

Home Affairs determines the documents required and the visa decision. This example does not mean every skilled visa applicant must provide the same document or establish any application outcome.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I arrange NAATI translation of Taiwan documents?

Choose the document service on this page. If it has a dedicated order page, check its price, upload your documents and order there. For an unlisted document, email or message us on WeChat with the document type, page count, intended use and delivery needs for a written quote. This page itself has no upload or payment form.

Should I choose a PDF, paper copy or electronic stamp?

We provide PDF translations completed and stamped by NAATI-certified translators for the relevant language direction. Paper copies and postage options are listed on each document’s order page or in your written quote. If the recipient specifies paper, an original signature or another format, send us that requirement before ordering.

Does a NAATI translation also need notarisation?

Translation, certified copies, JP witnessing, Notary Public work, DFAT Apostille and Authentication are separate procedures. Arrange an additional step when the recipient or overseas-use procedure specifically requires it. First check the issuing jurisdiction, destination country and written document checklist.

How much does Taiwan document translation cost?

Prices depend on the document: some are charged per document, some per page, and others by written quote. For example, Taiwan driving licence translation costs AUD $20 and household registration translation costs AUD $59 per page. Check the relevant service for its full price and delivery options; a postage charge is separate from the translation price.

How long does a NAATI translation take?

Timing depends on the document type, page count, legibility, name checks, language direction and express arrangements. Taiwan driving licence PDF translations are delivered within 12 hours as standard, or within one hour with the additional AUD $20 express fee per licence. Both periods start after payment and receipt of all required documents. Check other documents’ service pages or written quotes for their own delivery times.

Which Taiwan documents can you translate?

ABC Translation Australia can arrange Chinese-to-English translation of Taiwan driving licences, ID cards, birth certificates, household registration transcripts, police certificates, marriage certificates, divorce documents, military discharge certificates, graduation certificates, academic transcripts and other clearly legible Taiwan documents.
