NAATI Certification
How we translate the Argentine CAP
The certificate is a national record, distinct from the provincial civil-registry documents such as the partida de nacimiento. It normally shows the applicant's full name, DNI number, date of birth, the purpose recorded for the request, the issuing office, the issue date and an electronic signature with a verification or barcode panel. Our NAATI-certified Spanish translators render the status wording precisely — the exact phrasing matters — and reproduce the DNI, reference numbers and verification details as printed. We translate the certificate you supply; we do not issue, obtain, verify, amend or apostille Argentine records, and we do not advise on your application. Official guidance on requesting the certificate is published at argentina.gob.ar. Which record, and in what form, is required for your application is determined by the Australian authority receiving it, so confirm that with them first; a certified translation does not by itself guarantee acceptance.
