Each translation is issued on our letterhead with a signed certification: a correct translation made by a person familiar with both languages and competent in translation work, with the translator’s full name, signature, contact details and date — the form Immigration New Zealand describes for translated documents.

What Immigration New Zealand asks for

Translations must be made by a professional translator or translation service, not by you, a family member or your adviser. For residence and most other visas the translation must be certified: a statement that it is a correct translation made by a person familiar with both languages and competent in translation work, on the translation service’s letterhead, with the translator’s full name and signature. Every order is issued in exactly that form. Visitor visas need a translation but not certification.

Documents we translate every day

Birth, marriage and divorce certificates; police certificates; degree certificates and transcripts for NZQA assessment and skilled migrant points; employment references; bank statements and financial evidence; medical and vaccination records.

Frequently asked questions

Which languages?
Any language into English — Chinese, Hindi and other Indian languages, Tagalog, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Vietnamese and more. The price is the same for every language.
What about driver licence conversion?
The New Zealand Transport Agency has its own list of approved translators for licence conversion, so this service is not intended for that purpose.
Does Immigration New Zealand accept this translation?
INZ requires translations to be made by a professional translation service (not the applicant, a family member or the adviser), certified as a correct translation by a person familiar with both languages, on the service’s letterhead with the translator’s full name and signature. Every order is issued in exactly that form, with a public verification link. Visitor-visa applications need a translation but not certification; residence and most other categories need the certified version we provide.
Do I need a notarised translation or the DIA Translation Service?
INZ does not require notarisation. The Department of Internal Affairs runs its own paid translation service, but INZ also accepts certified translations from recognised private translation services. For citizenship applications the Department of Internal Affairs has its own rules — check them before ordering for citizenship.
How fast is it?
Typed documents are usually delivered within ten minutes of payment. Handwritten or damaged pages are flagged before you pay and completed by manual review within 24 hours.
Can I upload a multi-page document?
Yes — upload the whole PDF or a photo of every page; the page count and total (NZ$24.95 per page) appear before you pay and you receive one certified PDF covering every page.
