How do you submit a Chinese birth certificate for different Australian applications?
Scenario 1: Australian passport application
If you were born in China and use a Chinese birth certificate for an Australian passport application, provide the Chinese birth certificate together with its NAATI-certified English translation. You can submit the documents yourself. If the Passport Office gives you a Reference Number and submission email in a request for further documents, we can email the completed translation directly and quote that Reference Number.
Scenario 2: Australian citizenship application
If you were born in China and use a Chinese birth certificate for an Australian citizenship application, provide a scan of the Chinese birth certificate together with its NAATI-certified English translation. Do not upload the English translation alone; submit the Chinese certificate and the translation together.
Scenario 3: Australian visa application
Whether you need a birth certificate depends on the checklist for your particular visa. If the checklist asks for one, submit the Chinese birth certificate and its NAATI-certified English translation. Not every visa application requires a birth certificate.
Scenario 4: Schools, childcare, Medicare or other Australian organisations
If the receiving organisation asks for an English birth certificate, submit the Chinese birth certificate and its NAATI-certified English translation. Check with the organisation whether it also requires an original or a paper copy.

What do you need to upload?
Upload a complete, clear set of images of the Medical Birth Certificate — that is all we need. No passport upload is required, and you do not need to provide English names.
The complete certificate
Upload every page that has text, seals, numbers or handwritten content. Do not crop to just the name or date of birth.
Clear colour images
Photos or scans should show all four corners, with legible text and no glare, obstruction or distortion.
No English names needed
All names are translated into standard pinyin by the NAATI translator — there is nothing for you to fill in.
How much does it cost, and how long does it take?
The English translation of a Chinese Medical Birth Certificate is a fixed A$50. It is completed within 24 business hours once clear files and payment are received. The fee includes translation by a NAATI-certified translator, the translator's declaration, the NAATI digital stamp and PDF delivery.
| Delivery option | Total price | What you get |

| PDF by email | A$50 | Certified PDF sent to your order email |
| PDF + standard post (Australia) | A$50 | PDF plus a free posted paper copy |
| PDF + express post (Australia) | A$65 | PDF plus express-posted paper copy (includes A$15 express fee) |
Timing note: 24 hours is translation completion time, not postal delivery time. If images are unclear or need to be retaken, the clock restarts once complete materials arrive.

Chinese birth certificate NAATI translation sample
This sample has two pages. Page 1 is the NAATI-certified English translation. Page 2 contains the Chinese Medical Birth Certificate supplied by the client as a source-document attachment, so the receiving organisation can compare it with the translation. Personal details in both samples have been obscured.
Do I need to provide English names?
No. You do not need to give us any English names. The names of the child, the father and the mother are translated into standard pinyin by the NAATI translator as part of the translation — there is nothing for you to fill in or confirm.
- All Chinese names on the certificate are romanised into standard pinyin automatically.
- No passport is required for this service.
- If a family member's passport or existing documents use a special spelling, add a note in the order form and the translation will match it.
Can you translate new, old or handwritten certificates?
In all cases, upload complete images first. Where the text and seals are clearly legible, the order can usually be processed as a standard order.
New-format certificates
Upload every page with content; check that names, numbers, dates, seals and issuing details are not cut off.
Old-format certificates
Do not upload only the cover or a partial page. Different layouts and page counts are fine — the complete document lets us verify every item.
Handwritten or unclear content
If handwriting is illegible, pages are damaged or seals cover text, we need to confirm feasibility and the actual delivery time first.
How do you order online?
Ordering takes four steps: upload the complete document, enter your contact details, choose a delivery option, then pay by Stripe.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a NAATI-certified Chinese birth certificate translation cost?
A fixed A$50 per Medical Birth Certificate. PDF plus free standard post is still A$50; with express post inside Australia the total is A$65.
How long does the translation take?
Within 24 business hours after we receive clear images and payment. If documents need to be retaken, timing restarts once everything is complete.
What is a NAATI birth certificate translation used for?
A NAATI-certified English translation is usually accepted by Australian government agencies — for example the Department of Home Affairs for visa and citizenship applications, and the Australian Passport Office for passport applications — as well as schools, universities, Medicare and similar institutions. In practice it is used for visa and citizenship lodgements, passport applications, school enrolment and other situations where an Australian organisation asks for an English version of the certificate. Requirements vary by application, so confirm the current checklist with the receiving organisation.
Which pages of the certificate do I need to upload?
Every page with text, seals, numbers or handwritten content. All four corners should be visible and the text legible — do not crop to just the name or date of birth.
Do I need to upload a passport?
No. This service only requires a complete, clear Medical Birth Certificate — no passport and no English names are needed.
Do I need to provide English names for the child and parents?
No. All names are translated into standard pinyin by the NAATI translator — you do not need to give us any English names. If a family member's passport or existing documents use a special spelling, add a note in the order form and the translation will match it.
Can old or handwritten certificates be translated?
Upload all pages with content first. Legible text and seals can usually be handled as a standard order; unclear images, damaged pages or illegible handwriting need a feasibility and timing check first.
Can I receive just the PDF?
Yes. PDF-only delivery is A$50. If you later want a paper copy, choose free standard post or express post for A$15 more.
Is a NAATI translation the same as notarisation?
No. NAATI translation and notarisation are different things. Whether you also need a certified copy, notarisation or other formalities depends on the receiving organisation's requirements.
