NAATI is Australia's National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters. Australian government departments, universities and professional bodies generally require translations produced by a NAATI-certified practitioner, with the practitioner's certification details shown on the translation. Thai Law & Accounting coordinates certified translation of Thai records for Australian use and, where the receiving body also wants the underlying Thai document authenticated, arranges the consular layer as well.
Visa applications, skills assessments, university admissions and professional registration in Australia are the usual triggers. The requirement is normally phrased as a translation by a NAATI-certified translator, accompanied by a statement identifying the translator and their certification. Some bodies additionally require the translation to be attached to a certified copy of the source document rather than to a plain photocopy, so we confirm that detail before starting.
Not every Australian requirement is identical. A skills assessment authority may accept scanned certified translations, while a registration board may insist on a hard copy set. Reading the exact wording of the request first avoids producing a file that has to be reissued.
We review the scans, confirm which pages the receiving body actually needs, and align every name and date with the passport. The translation is then produced and certified, and we deliver it in the format the receiving body accepts. Where the Thai source document also needs authentication, the consular layer runs in parallel so the two parts of the file finish together rather than sequentially.
For documents that will also be used outside Australia, we keep an extra clean set so the same source material can be routed to a second destination without starting over.
Yes. Our language directory covers the main languages we handle for Thai inbound and outbound document work.
The translation stage can. Steps that require an original document, such as consular authentication, need the physical file, which can be couriered.
Only if the receiving body asks for the underlying Thai document to be authenticated. We confirm that with you before adding the layer.
Clear scans of every page, the passport spelling of all names, and the written requirement from the receiving body. Send them to LINE @THAIL.
By document type, page count and the number of certified sets required. We quote against the actual scope after reviewing the scans.
It depends on volume and on whether authentication layers are involved. We give an estimated window once the file is reviewed.
NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is the sole quality standard body for translators and interpreters in Australia. NAATI-certified translations are mandatory for Department of Home Affairs visa applications, AHPRA registration, Legal Aid filings, and university admissions. iLC's Thai–English and English–Thai translations are produced by NAATI Certified Translators (CT) with valid credentials, and each page carries a NAATI stamp with translator number, expiry date, and a QR-linked verification. We also deliver NAATI CCL (Credentialled Community Language) coaching for skilled migration applicants aiming for the 5-point boost on the Skilled Migration Points Test — including 12-week structured programs, live mock exams, dialogue banks in Thai, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Filipino, and post-exam performance review.

For NAATI Certified Translation and CCL Coaching (Australia), confirm names, document types, and the receiving authority's current requirements before starting. Timing and fees depend on each case.
Please confirm current requirements with the receiving authority
naati can involve different document checks depending on the receiving authority. Confirm the intended use and destination before arranging translation, a notarial signature, or consular legalization. For a review of your specific naati matter, contact us on LINE @THAIL or by email at Contact@thailaw-accounting.co.th.
First identify the issuing authority, the person signing, the destination and the receiving body's current requirements. The necessary steps may include translation, certification or consular legalization, but not every document needs every step. Confirm the sequence before sending originals.
Individuals and businesses may need different supporting documents. Share the document type, destination and receiving authority so the applicable route can be checked for your matter; requirements can change without notice.
Our offices are in Bangkok (Lat Phrao 95) and Khon Kaen. For other locations we can discuss remote document intake and coordination with partners where available. Fees and timing depend on the document, destination and relevant authorities; ask for an individual quote.
Check names, dates, document versions and the receiving authority's instructions before filing. Acceptance is decided by the receiving authority; ask the team which evidence and original documents are required in your case.
Reach Thai Law & Accounting on LINE Official @THAIL, email Contact@thailaw-accounting.co.th, or phone 092-0170000. Please book an appointment in advance at our Bangkok office (Lat Phrao 95) or Khon Kaen head office; in every other province our team can coordinate with a local partner where available.

| Aspect | Doing it yourself | With iLC |
|---|---|---|
| Working out which steps apply | You read each authority's rules yourself, and usually learn a step was missing only after the bundle is refused. | Our advisers review the documents before work starts and sequence translation, notarisation, MFA, and embassy in one pass. |
| Time spent filing | Repeat trips to each office, queueing and collecting in person. | We file on your behalf; you send scans and receive the finished set by post or courier. |
| Risk that the translation is refused | Agency names, job titles, and the certification wording often do not match what the receiving office accepts. | We use terminology and certificate formats the receiving authority has accepted before, with two-stage proof-reading. |
| If the bundle is rejected | You diagnose the cause and refile yourself, losing a full cycle. | We identify the cause, correct it, and refile without you starting over, with progress reported along the way. |
Before any work starts, our team assesses how many certification layers your document actually needs, which authorities are involved, and the correct order for the office you will really file with. One step out of order usually means restarting the whole bundle. More than 15 years of cross-border document work means we recognise how each authority rejects files and prevent it up front.
