Courts and tribunals serving Adelaide

South Australia's courts are based in Adelaide. The Supreme Court of South Australia hears the most serious matters and probate applications. The District Court of South Australia and the Magistrates Court of South Australia handle the bulk of civil and criminal work, with the Youth Court of South Australia and the Environment, Resources and Development Court in specialist areas. The South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (SACAT) deals with housing, guardianship and administrative reviews, and the South Australian Employment Tribunal hears workplace matters.

On the federal side, the Federal Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia both have Adelaide registries. Commonwealth decisions can be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal.

Registry and legal help in South Australia

South Australian births, deaths and marriages are registered through Consumer and Business Services. Legal aid in the state is provided by the Legal Services Commission of South Australia.

Typical Adelaide jobs include overseas inheritance and property documents for family estates, foreign divorce and custody records for family law matters, and criminal record certificates for employment screening. Translated documents are used by many different bodies, each with its own rules, so check requirements with the body you are submitting to before you order.

Handled online, delivered by email

Upload a clear copy of every page through the online quote form, from Norwood, Salisbury, Marion or anywhere in the state. Standard documents are priced instantly and larger sets are quoted by email. Your translation is delivered as a PDF. If you need translation into another language, for an Australian document to be used overseas, say so in your enquiry. Certified translations are by a NAATI certified translator, and translator affidavits are quoted separately, where available.

Adelaide families with roots in Italy and Greece often hold older handwritten civil records and notarial deeds. Clear scans make these far easier to read, so photograph each page flat, in good light and without cropping the margins, where later annotations are often written.

Translation, not legal advice

We translate what your documents say. We do not advise on their legal effect, and we cannot confirm whether a particular court or agency will accept them. Please check requirements with the receiving body or your lawyer.
