Applying for an Australian student, skilled, or partner visa from Nepal? The Department of Home Affairs requires Nepali-language documents to be accompanied by an English translation. For translations prepared outside Australia, the translator must endorse the work with their full name, address, and qualifications. Translation Nepal (operated by Notary Nepal Pvt. Ltd.) delivers Nepali-to-English translation with the proper translator endorsement — accepted for Australian visa applications lodged from Nepal.
What Australia requires
The Department of Home Affairs distinguishes by where the translation is done:
- Inside Australia — the translator must be NAATI-certified.
- Outside Australia (e.g., in Nepal) — the translation must show the translator's full name, address, telephone details, and qualifications/experience in the language being translated.
Because you are applying from Nepal, we prepare the translation with the required translator endorsement so it is accepted by Home Affairs. We can also notarize the translation when an institution requests it.
