Documents usually required

High-resolution colour scans of every page, including stamps and signatures
Passport bio-data page used as the reference spelling for all names
Confirmation of the file format the Australian authority accepts (digital PDF or hard copy)
Any earlier translation already lodged, so terminology stays consistent

Common reasons a bundle is rejected

A translation is accepted only with the certified translator's stamp and statement attached.
Every page of the source document must be included, stamps and endorsements as well.
Spell every name exactly as it appears in the passport, across every document in the same bundle.

Prefer not to handle the chain yourself? Send the scans and we run every step for you, from translation to the final endorsement.

How the process runs — NAATI certified translation for Australia

Collect colour scans of every page and confirm name spelling against the passport.
Confirm with the Australian receiving authority which certification format and file type it accepts.
Have the translation produced by a certified translator, with the certification stamp and statement attached.
Proof-read every name, date, and number against the source before the final version is issued.
Deliver the digitally signed file or printed set, then attach it to the application it supports.

Fees and processing times are set by each authority and vary by document and destination — confirm them with the responsible agency.

Handling it yourself vs letting iLC run it

Aspect	Doing it yourself	With iLC
Working out which steps apply	You read each authority's rules yourself, and usually learn a step was missing only after the bundle is refused.	Our advisers review the documents before work starts and sequence translation, notarisation, MFA, and embassy in one pass.
Time spent filing	Repeat trips to each office, queueing and collecting in person.	We file on your behalf; you send scans and receive the finished set by post or courier.
Risk that the translation is refused	Agency names, job titles, and the certification wording often do not match what the receiving office accepts.	We use terminology and certificate formats the receiving authority has accepted before, with two-stage proof-reading.
If the bundle is rejected	You diagnose the cause and refile yourself, losing a full cycle.	We identify the cause, correct it, and refile without you starting over, with progress reported along the way.

What clients typically use this for

Australian visa applications
University admission in Australia
Professional registration in Australia

An advisor, not only a document processor

Before any work starts, our team assesses how many certification layers your document actually needs, which authorities are involved, and the correct order for the office you will really file with. One step out of order usually means restarting the whole bundle. More than 15 years of cross-border document work means we recognise how each authority rejects files and prevent it up front.

The certification route is matched to the receiving authority before work begins.
Rejection risks are checked, from name spelling to document validity windows.
The filing sequence is planned around the deadline you actually have.
