5 common mistakes with Birth Certificate — and how to avoid them
These are common problems with Birth Certificate submissions. Checking them before lodgement reduces the risk of a request for further information.
1. Failing to translate stamps and signatures — DHA returns the file as 'incomplete translation'
2. Submitting expired evidence (police clearance and medical certificates expire after 12 months)
3. Inconsistent name spellings across documents (passport vs. birth certificate) — usually requires an additional Statutory Declaration
4. Using a self-translation or non-NAATI translator — DHA and AHPRA reject these immediately and request a re-submission
5. Incomplete scans of the source document (missing back pages, stamps, or signatures), forcing a redo of the work
Acceptance is decided by the receiving authority; a correct translation does not guarantee an outcome.
Documents typically translated together (story bundle)
Birth Certificate is rarely translated on its own — most clients order it as part of a bundle for a visa, skills assessment or course application. NAATI Thailand offers 10-15% bundle pricing when documents are ordered together.
Skilled / PR bundle (subclass 189/190): Birth Certificate + Police Clearance (PCC) + Bank Statement + Employment Letter + Degree + Transcript. We archive the full bundle so you can re-download for up to 5 years.
Partner Visa bundle (subclass 820/801, 309/100): Birth Certificate + Marriage Certificate + Statutory Declaration + ID Card + House Registration. We can liaise directly with your migration agent or solicitor.
Citizenship by Descent bundle: Birth Certificate + child's birth certificate + parents' passports + parents' marriage certificate. Bundling typically saves สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่ versus ordering separately.
