Sworn Translation for Sri Lankans in Australia
Australia is home to one of the largest Sri Lankan communities outside the island — concentrated in Sydney (Parramatta, Blacktown), Melbourne (Dandenong, Clayton), Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Whether you are applying for a partner visa, a skilled migration visa, permanent residency, or Australian citizenship, the Department of Home Affairs requires that all non-English documents be translated by a qualified translator.
Sri Lankans in Australia regularly submit sworn translations of birth certificates, marriage certificates, police clearance certificates, and academic transcripts to the Department of Home Affairs (formerly DIBP) and to Australian embassies. Many also need translations for family sponsorship (subclass 820/801), skilled nominated visas (subclass 190/491), and naturalisation applications. Because the process is 100% online at SwornTranslators.lk, you can upload your original Sri Lankan documents from anywhere in Australia and receive the certified PDF by email within 24–48 hours — or have the stamped hard copy sent directly to your Australian address via DHL or FedEx.
