Translations of overseas legal documents for Newcastle and Hunter matters, and NSW documents translated for use abroad.
Newcastle is the main legal centre for the Hunter. The District Court of NSW and the Local Court of NSW sit in Newcastle, and the Supreme Court of NSW holds sittings there for matters from the region. Tenancy, consumer and guardianship disputes from the Hunter go to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT).
For families, the most important local registry is the Newcastle registry of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, which hears divorce, parenting and property cases from across the Hunter and the Central Coast. Commonwealth decisions, including visa decisions, are reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal.
NSW birth, death, marriage and change of name records are kept by the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, which serves the whole state. Legal Aid NSW has a presence in the region and helps eligible people with family, criminal and civil law.
Newcastle clients often bring us overseas marriage certificates and divorce decrees for family law applications, police certificates for mining, health and engineering employers, and documents for university staff and students. Courts, employers and agencies each set their own rules, so check requirements with the body you are submitting to before you order.
Our service runs online, so it is the same whether you are in the city, Maitland, Cessnock, Lake Macquarie or Port Stephens. Upload clear copies of every page, receive a price for standard documents on screen, and get the translation as a PDF by email. Longer documents receive a written quote. Certified translations are by a NAATI certified translator, and translator affidavits are quoted separately, where available.
Hunter clients working in mining and engineering are sometimes asked for overseas trade or professional licences alongside a police certificate. We translate these too, keeping licence numbers, classes and expiry dates exactly as they appear on the original.
