Frequently Asked Questions

​

How much does a marriage certificate translation cost?

Chinese marriage certificate translation is a fixed $49. Australian marriage certificate translation into Chinese is $60. If you need a translator’s affidavit for your divorce application, the translation and affidavit together are $180.

​

Do I need a translator’s affidavit for my divorce application?

Yes, if your marriage certificate is not in English. The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia requires the translator to complete an Affidavit – Translation of Marriage Certificate, attaching a copy of the certificate and the translation and setting out their qualifications. The affidavit must be sworn or affirmed before a Justice of the Peace or a lawyer, and filed together with your Application for Divorce.

​

How does the affidavit process work?

We translate your certificate first and send you the draft to check. Once you approve it, we prepare the affidavit and the translator signs it before a Justice of the Peace. You will receive the signed affidavit and translation as an e-copy, ready to upload to the Commonwealth Courts Portal, usually within 1-2 business days.

​

My Chinese marriage certificate comes as two red booklets. Do both need to be translated?

Usually not. Each spouse receives their own booklet (结婚证), and both contain the same marriage details – only the holder’s name differs – so translating one is normally enough. Please send clear photos of the inside pages, including the photo page and the embossed seal. If the authority asks for both booklets, just let us know.

​

Can I use the translation for a partner visa or citizenship application?

Yes. The Department of Home Affairs requires documents that are not in English to be accompanied by an English translation, and translations made in Australia should be done by a NAATI certified translator. Our translations include the translator’s NAATI certification and stamp, and are commonly used for partner visas, citizenship and passport applications.

​

Can I use the certificate my celebrant gave me on the wedding day?

No. The certificate your celebrant gives you on the day is a commemorative certificate and cannot be used for official purposes. For a visa, a change of name or registering your marriage overseas, order the official marriage certificate from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages in your state, and we will translate that certificate.

​

Can you translate my Australian marriage certificate into Chinese?

Yes, for $60. This is often needed when you update your household registration or other records back home. If the document will be used overseas, the receiving authority may also ask for an apostille or other authentication, so please check their requirements first.

​

How will the names be spelt?

Chinese marriage certificates show names in Chinese characters only. Please send us the English spelling of both names exactly as they appear in your passports, so the translation matches your other documents.

​

Do I need to send my original marriage certificate?

No. A clear scan or photo of every page with text, including the photo page and seals, is sufficient. We never need your original certificate.

​

Can I order a printed hard copy?

Yes. Regular post is an additional $10 AUD and arrives 3-6 business days after posting; express post is an additional $20 AUD and arrives 1-2 business days after posting. A signed affidavit can be posted in the same way.

​

How long does a marriage certificate translation take?

Most marriage certificate translations are emailed to you within 24 hours. Orders with an affidavit usually take 1-2 business days, as the affidavit needs to be signed before a witness.
