What our translator checks
- Older handwritten certificates, translated in full as long as they are legible.
- Trilingual forms: printed headings are often in Sinhala, Tamil and English; we translate the handwritten Sinhala entries.
- Names as in your passport, including initials, which are common in Sri Lankan names.
Licence and visa rules in short
- Licence transfer: Sri Lanka is not on the Austroads list of recognised jurisdictions: you can still transfer your licence, but your state may ask you to pass tests. See which licences convert without a test.
- NSW: for a NSW licence transfer, only the Free Translating Service and Multicultural NSW are accepted, not private translations such as ours. See what NSW accepts.
- Visas: if you apply from Australia, Home Affairs asks for the translator's NAATI practitioner number on each translation, which ours show.

FAQ
My birth certificate is handwritten. Can you translate it? Yes, if it is legible. Unreadable words are marked as illegible rather than guessed.
How do you handle initials in my name? We follow your passport: if it spells out your names, the translation does too.
Do you translate Tamil documents from Sri Lanka? Yes, see our Tamil translation page.
