What does this mean?
Once a translation is completed by a NAATI-certified translator, it remains valid indefinitely. If a translator chooses not to recertify and their NAATI credential expires, this does not affect the validity of any translations they completed while they were certified. As long as the translation carries the NAATI stamp and completion date, it remains valid.

FAQs
This tool allows you to check whether a translator or interpreter is currently certified by NAATI and view their certification details.
It confirms the practitioner you plan to engage is qualified, certified, and able to provide professional services. Or allows you to check if a translation you have received was completed by a NAATI-certified translator.
‘Verified but expired’ means the practitioner was previously certified by NAATI, but their certification is no longer current. NAATI certifications must be renewed every three years through a process called recertification. If they are not recertified, they expire. NAATI cannot confirm that a practitioner with an expired credential meets the current professional standards.
For translations: If a translation is completed by a NAATI-certified translator while they held an active certification, it remains valid indefinitely.
