Will Home Affairs accept an NABC on its own?

Rarely. The Department expects the Non-Availability certificate together with secondary evidence — typically an affidavit and a school record showing the same date of birth. Translate the set, not just the certificate.

Can I use an affidavit instead of applying for an NABC?

An affidavit alone is a self-declaration, not a registrar's finding. Where the registrar can issue a Non-Availability certificate, obtain it — it carries far more weight.

Do you translate the stamp paper and notary endorsements?

Yes. The stamp-paper value, serial number and the notary's register entry are part of what makes the affidavit valid, so all of it is translated.

What if my school record shows a different date of birth?

We translate exactly what each document says. Where they conflict, we tell you before delivery so you can address it in your application rather than have a case officer find it.

$59 per page. A typical NABC bundle is three to four pages.

24 hours from receipt of the full set.

NABC Translation

Non-Availability of Birth Certificate (NABC) Translation for Australia

NAATI-certified English translation of a Non-Availability of Birth Certificate issued by an Indian municipal registrar, together with the supporting affidavit and school-leaving record. This is the accepted evidence path when a birth was never registered — common for births before the 1990s and in rural districts.

What Australian agencies expect when there is no birth record

Home Affairs recognises that civil registration was not universal in India. Where no birth entry exists, the accepted substitute is a registrar-issued Non-Availability certificate supported by secondary evidence — and all of it must be presented together, in certified English.

Accepted where no birth entry exists in the municipal or panchayat register
Must be issued by the registrar for the district of birth, not a private party
Supported by an affidavit sworn on non-judicial stamp paper before a notary or magistrate
Supported by a school-leaving certificate, matriculation record or Class X marksheet showing date of birth
Used for partner, parent, child and family visas and for citizenship by conferral
Reproduces the registrar's search reference, the period searched and the seal

NAATI Certification

What is a NAATI Certified Translation?

The strength of an NABC file lies in the combination, not in any single page. We translate the certificate, the affidavit — including the stamp-paper denomination and the notary's register entry — and the school record as one consistent bundle, with the date of birth rendered identically across all three so the case officer sees corroboration rather than three separate claims.
