Mexican documents we translate
We translate all official Mexican documents including:
- Acta de Nacimiento (birth certificate translation) — issued by the Registro Civil in the state where the birth was registered. Format and layout vary between states. CURP (Clave Única de Registro de Población) is typically included on modern Mexican birth certificates.
- Acta de Matrimonio (marriage certificate translation) — issued by the Registro Civil in the state where the marriage was registered.
- Carta de No Antecedentes Penales / Constancia de No Antecedentes Penales (police certificate translation) — issued by the Procuraduría General de la República (PGR) / Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), or by the relevant state authority. The federally issued certificate is generally preferred by the Department of Home Affairs.

- Título Universitario / Cédula Profesional (university degree — the Cédula Profesional is the official professional licence issued by the Secretaría de Educación Pública and is often required alongside the degree certificate).

How to prepare your Mexican documents for translation
Mexican civil documents are issued at the state level, meaning the format of an Acta de Nacimiento from Jalisco differs from one issued in Mexico City or Nuevo León. All state formats are accepted for NAATI-certified translation. Before uploading, ensure your scan shows the complete document including all text, the official stamp (sello oficial), signature, and folio or act number. For the Carta de No Antecedentes Penales, the federally issued certificate from the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) is generally preferred for Australian immigration purposes over state-level certificates. Ensure it is current — the Department of Home Affairs generally requires police certificates issued within 12 months of the visa application date. For skilled visa applications, note that skills assessment bodies such as VETASSESS and ACS may require both the Título Universitario and the Cédula Profesional. Documents do not need to be apostilled before translation for Australian immigration purposes unless specifically required by the receiving authority.
