Why do Australian agencies ask for NAATI-certified translations?
Short answer
Because NAATI is Australia's national credentialing body for translators and interpreters, and Australian government departments use that credential as their accepted proof that a translation was produced by a competent, identifiable professional. A Thai-certified translation is not automatically accepted in its place.
The certification is about traceability. A NAATI-certified translation carries the practitioner's certification stamp, number and signature, so the department can verify who produced it and that the credential was current. That is a different assurance from consular legalisation, which attests to the signature on the source document rather than to the quality of any translation.
Requirements differ by agency and by purpose — a visa application, a university admission and a professional registration can each ask for something slightly different, and some accept translations certified in the country of origin. Confirm the wording of the requirement with the receiving body before commissioning the work, and keep the source document and the certified translation together in the submission.
