What do you need to prepare?
All you need is a clear colour photo or scan of the front and back of your Taiwan National ID card, plus the English names entered in Form 7 — no passport is required.
Documents required
Front: your name, national ID number, date of birth and photo must be legible, with all four corners visible. Back: the fields for parents, spouse, military service status, place of birth and registered address must be complete and readable, without glare or covered text. English names: the English names of yourself, your parents and your spouse are entered in Form 7 (leave blank if the card has no such field); no passport is required for this service.
How it works
Upload the front and back of your ID card, enter the English names in Form 7, pay online by Stripe, and your translation is completed within 24 hours after payment.
Delivery options
Certified PDF by email; PDF plus free standard postage within Australia; or PDF plus express post for +A$15. The 24-hour timeframe is the completion time, not the postal delivery time.
When do you need an English translation of a Taiwan ID card?
You typically need one when a receiving organisation asks to see the content of your Taiwan National ID card in English — for example certain visa, citizenship, tax file number, banking or enrolment applications. Whether an ID card, a translation or other evidence is required always depends on the latest document checklist of your specific application.
The Department of Home Affairs lists national identity cards as one type of identity evidence, and requires documents not in English to be accompanied by an English translation; for applications lodged in Australia, the translation must include the translator's NAATI credential details. Some Australian Taxation Office processes for overseas individuals also accept a foreign government-issued photo ID card as identity evidence, with a qualified English translation for non-English documents.

The Department of Home Affairs lists national identity cards as one type of identity evidence and requires non-English documents to be accompanied by an English translation.

How should the English name spelling be provided?
Taiwan National ID cards do not show English names, so you provide the English names of yourself, your parents and your spouse in Form 7 when ordering — there is no need to upload a passport.
- Use the spelling you want to appear on the English translation.
- If you hold a passport, using the same spelling as your passport keeps your application documents consistent.
- If a parent or spouse field is blank on the card, the corresponding English name is not needed.
- Where the same Chinese name has several common spellings, please confirm your choice before payment.
- The translator prepares the translation from the visible fields of your ID card together with the English names you provide.
How are ROC (Minguo) dates translated into English?
Minguo calendar dates on the ID card are converted to their Gregorian calendar equivalents in the translation, keeping a clear correspondence with the original document.
Field names and English terminology follow the bilingual reference materials published by Taiwan household registration offices. Individual applications may have their own date or format requirements, so the receiving organisation's instructions always prevail.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Taiwan ID card English translation cost?
A fixed A$50 per Taiwan National ID card. A certified PDF plus free standard postage of a printed copy is still A$50; with express post within Australia the total is A$65.
How long does the translation take?
Once clear card images, complete English name details and payment have all been received, the translation is completed within 24 hours after payment. If images need to be re-uploaded or names clarified, the timeframe restarts from when the complete information arrives.
Which Australian visas or government applications can use this translation?
It can be used where the receiving organisation asks to see the content of your Taiwan National ID card in English — for example certain visa, citizenship, tax file number or banking applications. Whether an ID card, a NAATI translation, an original or other documents are required depends on the latest rules of your specific application.
Do I need to upload both the front and the back of the card?
Yes. Both the front and the back of the Taiwan National ID card are required for this service, and both sides must be complete, sharp and free of glare or obstruction.
Do I need to upload my passport?
No. This service only requires the front and back of your National ID card. The English names of yourself, your parents and your spouse are entered directly in Form 7 — no passport is needed.
Can I receive just the PDF?
Yes. The PDF-only option costs A$50. If you later want a printed copy, you can choose free standard postage or express post for +A$15.
Is a NAATI translation the same as notarisation?
No. A NAATI-certified translation is an English translation; a certified copy and notarisation are separate procedures. Any additional requirement depends on the receiving organisation.
If a receiving organisation or a lawyer/notary in Taiwan requires a particular layout, notarisation or certified copy, confirm the exact requirement first; we can prepare or adjust the translation accordingly.
Have your Taiwan ID card photos ready?
Upload clear images of both sides, enter the English names and choose a delivery option — your NAATI-certified translation is completed within 24 hours after payment.
