INTERPRETERS When witnessing documents for non-English speakers, a JP must use a NAATI qualified interpreter to ensure the person understands the document. The interpreter must also swear an oath (or do an affirmation). Documents cannot be translated by a friend or family member, this ensures the document is legally valid. You can access interpetrator services at National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI)
