Current NAATI Recognised accreditation for preparing certified Latin translations.
More than 10 years' experience in providing migration and legal Latin translation services in Australia.
Our Latin translators handle all document types — personal, legal, financial, medical, and academic.
All of our legal and migration-related Latin translations are carried out by NAATI-certified professional translators. This certification is essential when translating documents for submission to the Department of Home Affairs for residency and citizenship applications. Additionally, any Latin translations submitted to Australian courts must be performed and certified by a professionally certified Latin translator.
Latin is not a standard NAATI language. Translation of Latin documents (typically historical, ecclesiastical, or academic) is handled by specialist translators with classical language training rather than through the standard NAATI certification pathway.
Our certified Latin translations come with a certification statement, a NAATI stamp and official company letterhead with contact details. These certified translations are widely recognised and accepted by law courts and government departments across all Australian states.

Our Latin translators are native Lingua Latina speakers who work with Latin documents daily, ensuring natural and accurate translations. With approximately No native speakers (liturgical and academic use) worldwide (Indo-European, Italic, Latino-Faliscan), Latin is in consistent demand for certified translation in Australia.
Sydney Translation Services provides Latin audio transcription and translation, catering to legal, medical, insurance, research, and a wide range of other applications.

Latin Community in Australia
Latin documents encountered in Australian translation contexts are typically historical church records (baptism, marriage, burial registers), Vatican-issued documents, academic diplomas from European universities (particularly older ones), and legal or genealogical documents. The Catholic Church in Australia may also produce Latin documents for canonical matters.
Worldwide, there are approximately No native speakers (liturgical and academic use) Latin speakers, part of the Indo-European, Italic, Latino-Faliscan language family.
Latin Translation Considerations
When translating Latin documents, our translators pay attention to several language-specific factors:
Latin documents are often handwritten in historical scripts (e.g., Gothic, Carolingian, or various cursive hands); palaeographic skills may be necessary alongside linguistic knowledge.
Ecclesiastical Latin (used by the Catholic Church) differs from Classical Latin in pronunciation, vocabulary, and some grammatical conventions; identify the register before translating.
Latin legal maxims and phrases are widely used in English law and may not need translation but rather explanation; confirm with the client whether full translation or annotation is required.
Latin uses the Latin alphabet in its original form. Classical Latin did not distinguish between U and V, or I and J; modern transcriptions typically use the modern alphabet. Historical Latin documents may use abbreviations, ligatures, and scribal conventions that require specialist knowledge. Standard Latin fonts are fully sufficient for modern typesetting.
NAATI Recognised Latin Translators
