Do I need a translation if my Dutch passport already shows some English?

Often yes. Home Affairs will typically accept the passport as-is, but banks, universities and some state agencies require a full NAATI-certified translation, particularly if a name discrepancy exists across your documents.

Is the Dutch identiteitskaart handled the same way as a paspoort?

Yes. We translate the bio-data fields of either document using the same NAATI-certified process and pricing.

How much does the translation cost?

$59 per page. The bio-data page is a single page.

How long does it take?

24 hours from receipt. Same-day is possible for a single page.

Do you add a note if my name is formatted differently elsewhere?

Yes. Dutch surnames with tussenvoegsels (van, de, der) are sometimes recorded inconsistently across systems — we add a formal equivalence note where needed.

Will Home Affairs accept the translation?

Yes. NAATI-certified translations of Dutch passports and ID cards are accepted for all Australian visa lodgements and ImmiAccount uploads.

Dutch Passport Translation

Translate Your Dutch Passport or ID Card (Paspoort / Identiteitskaart)

Some Australian agencies, banks and universities require a NAATI-certified English translation of the personal-data page of a Dutch paspoort or identiteitskaart, even though most fields are already bilingual, to resolve name formatting and issuing-authority details before they cause delays.
