How NAATI Translation Pricing Has Changed (2025 vs 2026)
Previous pricing guides (including content published in 2025) referenced ranges such as $45–$80 per document. Those ranges reflected industry-wide variation across multiple providers. Immi Translating Service has moved to a flat-rate model at $69 per standard document, eliminating variable pricing and making costs predictable for applicants.
The shift to flat-rate pricing was driven by the self-service model — because customers upload documents directly through the online portal, processing overhead is lower and savings are passed on to the customer. This is the current 2026 pricing as of May 2026.
What Affects the Overall Cost of Your NAATI Translation?
While the per-document rate is fixed, the total cost of your translation project depends on several factors:
- Number of documents — visa applications typically require 2–5 translated documents. The total cost is simply $69 × number of pages.
- Document complexity — heavily formatted documents, handwritten records, or those with stamps and annotations take more time and may attract a small surcharge.
- Language pair — translations from common languages (Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, Spanish, Hindi) are available at the standard rate. Less common languages may require a small premium.
- Urgency — standard turnaround is 1–2 business days at no extra cost. Same-day service is available for an additional fee — contact us to confirm availability.
- Volume discounts — discounts apply to orders of five or more documents submitted together.
