NAATI Pashto Translation Certification
NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is Australia's national standards and accreditation body for translators and interpreters. Our Pashto translators hold NAATI Recognised credentials.
Pashto is a recognised language with NAATI. Demand for Pashto translation has increased due to Afghan humanitarian intake programs in Australia.
Right-to-left script: Pashto is written from right to left. Our translators ensure that all translated documents maintain correct text direction, formatting, and layout, which is particularly important for official documents and certificates that need to mirror the original format.
Arabic (Pashto variant) script: Pashto uses the Arabic (Pashto variant) script. Our translation process ensures that all characters are correctly rendered and that the final document maintains professional formatting suitable for submission to government agencies, courts, and immigration authorities.

Pashto is natively known as پښتو and belongs to the Indo-European, Iranian, Eastern Iranian language family.
There are approximately 40-60 million native speakers worldwide.
Pashto is one of the two official languages of Afghanistan alongside Dari, and is also widely spoken in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and Balochistan in Pakistan.
The Pashto alphabet is a modified Arabic script with additional letters to represent sounds unique to Pashto, totalling 44 letters.
Pashto has a literary tradition dating back to at least the 16th century, with the warrior-poet Khushal Khan Khattak considered the national poet of Afghanistan.
The language has two major dialect groups: the softer southern variety (Kandahari) and the harder northern variety (Peshawari).
The Pashtunwali code of honour, central to Pashtun culture, is deeply embedded in the language's proverbs and idiomatic expressions.
The Afghan community in Australia has grown significantly, numbering over 50,000 Afghan-born residents. Pashto speakers form a substantial portion alongside Dari speakers. Communities are concentrated in Sydney (Auburn, Merrylands), Melbourne (Dandenong), and Adelaide. Many arrived through humanitarian programs following decades of conflict in Afghanistan.
About Banyo
Banyo is a northern suburb of Brisbane, Queensland. It is a community split between residential and industrial land usage, the latter being attracted by the accessibility of local transport, including the Gateway Motorway. Banyo and the neighbouring suburb Nudgee, with which it is intertwined in many respects, are both rich in local history. This history includes the recent preservation of an Aboriginal Bora Ring.
The areas of Nudgee and Nudgee Beach border on the Boondall Wetlands, which is protected by the Brisbane City Council. Banyo has vastly increased the number of its business and industrial parks in recent years due to its close proximity to Brisbane Airport and the nearby Port of Brisbane. Nudgee Road is progressively becoming a commercial hub due to its connection to the Gateway Motorway, with a large service centre and petrol station and with new industrial grounds under construction overlooking the motorway itself.
