Legal Translation in Hobart

Translations of foreign legal and registry documents for Tasmanian matters, and Tasmanian documents translated for overseas use.

Tasmanian courts and tribunals

Hobart is home to the Supreme Court of Tasmania, which hears serious criminal trials, major civil claims and probate. Most other cases go to the Magistrates Court of Tasmania, which also covers youth justice, coronial matters and minor civil claims. The Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (TASCAT) brings together guardianship, anti-discrimination, residential tenancy and other review and dispute jurisdictions.

The Federal Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia both maintain Hobart registries, the latter handling divorce, parenting and property matters for Tasmanian families. Commonwealth decisions, including migration decisions, can be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal.

Registry and legal aid in Tasmania

Births, Deaths and Marriages Tasmania records life events across the state. Tasmania Legal Aid provides legal advice and representation to eligible Tasmanians.

In Hobart, we often translate documents connected with skilled and student migration, such as overseas police certificates and marriage records, as well as divorce papers for family law applications and inheritance documents for relatives overseas. Bodies differ in how they want translations presented, so check requirements with the body you are submitting to before ordering.

Island location, same service

Tasmania's distance from the mainland makes no difference to how you order. Upload clear scans or photos through the quote form from Hobart, Launceston, Devonport or anywhere else in the state, and your translation is emailed to you as a PDF. Standard documents show a price straight away; larger jobs are quoted by email. Certified translations are produced by a NAATI certified translator, and translator affidavits are quoted separately, where available.

Tasmanian clients sometimes hold documents in languages with relatively few translators in the state. Because we work online, a smaller local community is no barrier. Tell us the language when you upload, and if a document needs a written quote we will confirm the details with you before you pay.

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.
