Greek Document Translation
Modern Standard Greek (Demotic) is used uniformly in official documents throughout Greece and Cyprus. However, documents from Cyprus may contain Cypriot Greek vocabulary and institutional terminology specific to that country's administrative system. Documents from the Greek diaspora in countries like Egypt, Turkey, and Australia itself may be in archaic Katharevousa (the puristic form used officially until 1976) rather than modern Demotic Greek, requiring specialist knowledge of this now-defunct formal register.
Greek official documents use a formal Demotic register that retains elements of Katharevousa in legal and administrative terminology. Court documents and legislation still employ highly formal constructions with classical Greek loanwords. The polytonic accent system was officially abandoned in 1982 in favour of the monotonic system, but documents predating this reform (or certain Church documents) may still use polytonic orthography.
Greek Document Types
Greek civil documents include the ληξιαρχική πράξη γεννήσεως (lixiarkhiki praxi genniseos, birth certificate), ληξιαρχική πράξη γάμου (lixiarkhiki praxi gamou, marriage certificate), and άδεια οδήγησης (adeia odigisis, driving licence). Civil records are maintained by the ληξιαρχείο (lixiarkhio, civil registry) of each municipality.
Greek Script and Transliteration
Greek uses its own alphabet with 24 letters. The ELOT 743 standard is the official Greek romanisation system and is used on Greek passports and identity documents. However, many established romanisations of Greek names follow older conventions (e.g., Giorgos vs Georgios, Vassilis vs Vasilios), and translators must match existing passport romanisations rather than applying systematic transliteration to personal names.
Where Greek Is Official
Greek is the official language of Greece and one of two official languages of Cyprus (alongside Turkish). It is also one of the 24 official languages of the European Union. Greek has recognised minority language status in Albania, Turkey, and Italy (Calabria and Puglia). As EU member states, both Greece and Cyprus issue documents that increasingly conform to European standards, though Greek bureaucratic traditions dating to the establishment of the modern Greek state add distinctive formatting and attestation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions — Greek Translation in Forrestfield
What is NAATI certified Greek translation?
NAATI certified Greek translation is performed by a translator who has passed NAATI's certification examination for Greek. Greek is one of NAATI's directly tested languages, reflecting the large Greek-Australian community. Certified Greek translators have demonstrated professional competence through formal examination, and their translations are accepted by all Australian government departments, courts, and institutions for official purposes.
What Greek documents are commonly translated in Australia?
Frequently translated Greek documents include the ληξιαρχική πράξη γεννήσεως (birth certificate), ληξιαρχική πράξη γάμου (marriage certificate), and academic qualifications from Greek and Cypriot universities. Military service records (πιστοποιητικό στρατολογικής κατάστασης), police clearances, and the άδεια οδήγησης (driving licence) are also commonly required for immigration, professional registration, and legal proceedings.
Can older Greek documents written in Katharevousa be translated?
Yes. Greece officially used Katharevousa — a formal, puristic register of Greek — for government documents until 1976, when it was replaced by Demotic (modern spoken) Greek. Documents from before this date, as well as certain Church documents that still use Katharevousa, contain archaic vocabulary and grammar distinct from modern Greek. Our translators have the expertise to handle both Katharevousa and Demotic Greek documents accurately.
Where can I get documents translated near Forrestfield?
