    Affidavit Translation — NAATI Certified for Australian Courts & Visa Applications

    Affidavits (declaración jurada or affidávit in Spanish) are sworn written statements used as formal evidence in courts, tribunals and visa applications. When the affidavit is in a language other than English, Australian courts and the Department of Home Affairs require a NAATI-certified English translation before it can be relied on.

    When affidavit translation is required

    • Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia — family law, parenting and property matters involving overseas parties or evidence.
    • Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) — migration and refugee review applications relying on overseas sworn evidence.
    • De facto and partner visa applications — supporting statutory declarations and affidavits from friends and family living overseas.
    • Probate and estate matters — sworn statements regarding inheritance, wills and beneficiary status.
    • Civil litigation — where a witness or party swore their statement outside Australia.

    What the translation includes

    The certified translation reproduces the full body of the affidavit — deponent details, the sworn or affirmed clause, every numbered paragraph, and all annexure markings — along with the officer's signature block, seal or stamp. The translator's certification statement identifies each page so the bundle can be filed as one complete exhibit.
