When do you need an English translation of a Taiwan discharge certificate?
You typically need one when a receiving organisation asks for evidence of your military service in English — for example visa applications, background checks, employment screening or other individual applications. Whether a discharge certificate is required at all depends on the document checklist provided by the receiving organisation.
The Australian Department of Home Affairs requires documents that are not in English to be accompanied by an English translation; if the translation is done in Australia, the translator must provide their NAATI credential details. The original non-English document is usually submitted together with the translation (Department of Home Affairs: translating your documents).
What do you need to upload?
Only a complete, clear copy of your Taiwan discharge certificate, plus the English name to use in the translation — no passport is needed.
The complete document
Upload an image or PDF that includes all text, seals and document edges. Do not crop the four corners, and include the reverse side if it contains content that needs translating.
A clear, glare-free file
The name, date of birth, service branch, rank, and service and discharge dates must all be legible. Avoid blur, shadows, obstruction and heavy distortion.
English name & notes
Enter the English name spelling you want on the translation. Rare characters, unusual pronunciations, former names or a specified spelling can be added in the notes field.
How much does it cost, and how long does it take?
A NAATI-certified English translation of one Taiwan discharge certificate, substitute service discharge certificate, military service certificate or lost-certificate statement costs a fixed A$65, completed within 24 business hours once your clear file, English name, any notes and payment have all been received. The fee includes translation by a NAATI Certified Translator, the translator's declaration, the NAATI digital stamp and PDF delivery.

How are names and service details handled?
The translation follows the legible content of your original document — names, service branch, rank, service and discharge dates and other fields. You provide the preferred English spelling of your name when ordering.
- Dates given in ROC (民國) years are converted and shown clearly as the corresponding Gregorian dates.
- Ranks, units and abbreviations are rendered from the original text in standard English document usage — no service details are added beyond what the original shows.
- For rare characters, unusual pronunciations or alternative spellings of your name, leave a note when ordering.
What's the difference between a NAATI translation, applying for the certificate, and notarisation?
This page provides a NAATI-certified English translation of a Taiwan discharge certificate you already hold. We do not apply for or reissue Taiwanese discharge certificates, and this service does not include notarisation, Apostille or consular legalisation.
NAATI-certified translation
The document you upload is translated into English and certified by a translator holding the appropriate NAATI credential for the language pair and direction.
Applying for or reissuing the certificate
Applications, reissues and record queries with the relevant Taiwanese authorities are not part of this translation service.
Notarisation & other verification
Notarisation, Apostille and consular legalisation are separate procedures. Whether you need them depends on the receiving organisation's explicit requirements.
How do you order online?
Ordering takes three steps: upload a complete, clear copy of your document, enter your contact details and English name, then pay A$65 securely by Stripe.
