NAATI-Certified Translation of Death Certificates
When a death certificate is issued in a language other than English, it must be translated by a NAATI-certified translator before it can be used in Australia. The certified translation will include the translator’s declaration, NAATI stamp, and signature. In some cases, the stamp may be digital and can be verified online.
NAATI-certified translations of death certificates are accepted by government departments, courts, and institutions. They are typically required to:
- Register the death with Births, Deaths and Marriages
- Manage probate and estate administration through solicitors
- Arrange burial or cremation permits with local authorities
- Claim superannuation or insurance benefits
- Handle immigration and visa matters with the Department of Home Affairs
- Submit a death certificate in court proceedings
Death Certificate Translation for Probate
Probate in Australia is handled by the Supreme Court in each state or territory. It gives executors or administrators the legal authority to manage a person’s estate — from closing bank accounts to transferring property and accessing superannuation.
Every probate application starts with a death certificate. If the certificate was issued overseas in another language, the court won’t accept it on its own. It must be translated into English by a NAATI-certified translator.
Courts and government agencies generally won’t accept translations from anyone without this accreditation, even if they are a highly qualified translator. For executors, arranging a NAATI-certified translation of the death certificate is a straightforward but important step to ensure the probate application is processed smoothly and without delay.
