Gujarati to English
Gujarati to English translation
For students, partners and families who need a Gujarati certificate, school record or family document in English. Many Gujarat records already carry some English, so check yours first; where they do not, we translate in full, by email, with NAATI certification as an option.
What a Gujarati document needs
Three things a Gujarati document brings with it
Gujarati records name people in their own order and style, and that is where a careless translation causes trouble later.
Surname first, then the father
Gujarat records often write the surname first, then the given name, then the father’s or husband’s name: Patel Rameshbhai Kantilal. The translation keeps that order and labels each part, and follows your passport’s spelling, so an Australian form does not mistake Kantilal for your surname.
-bhai and -ben belong to the name
On many Gujarat records, -bhai or -ben is part of the registered given name, Rameshbhai rather than Ramesh. A passport may leave it off. The translation keeps it as printed, so the reader can see that the certificate and the passport name the same person.
School leaving certificates
A school leaving certificate records the date of birth, the father’s name, the last class attended and the reason for leaving, and it is often asked for as proof of age. Every field is translated, including the register number and the headmaster’s seal.
Driving here on an Indian licence
Your licence may already be in English
What New South Wales says
“If your licence is not written in English, you must also carry an English translation, or an International Driving Permit.” Many licences issued in India are printed in English; if yours is, that line does not apply to it.

At the Hertz desk
Hertz’s terms accept a licence that “is in English or, if not in English, is accompanied by a certified English translation”. An older card with Gujarati entries needs the translation; a card in English does not.
