Chinese ID Card NAATI Translation FAQ
Do I need a NAATI translation of my Chinese ID card for an Australian visa application?
If the ID card is submitted as identity, address, family relationship or supporting evidence, it is usually recommended to provide an English NAATI translation.
Can I translate only the front side of the ID card?
It is not recommended. The back side includes the issuing authority and validity period, so both sides should usually be translated.
Can I use a PDF NAATI translation?
Many online applications accept a PDF NAATI translation. If the receiving organisation requires a hard copy, it can be arranged separately.
Does the translation expire?
A NAATI translation does not usually have a fixed expiry date, but if your ID card expires, is replaced or your details change, you should order a new translation.
Should the English name spelling match my passport?
Yes, it is recommended. If you want the English name spelling to match your passport, please upload your passport information page when placing the order.
