Marathi to English
Marathi to English translation
For students, partners and families who need a Marathi land record, certificate or name-change notice in English, for a visa or an office in Australia. Translated in full, delivered by email, with NAATI certification as an option.
What a Marathi document needs
Three things a Marathi document brings with it
Marathi records carry land, family and name details in formats an Australian reader has never seen.
The 7/12 extract
The satbara utara, or 7/12 extract, is Maharashtra’s land record: survey number, holders’ names, area, and notes on crops and encumbrances. It is often sent as financial evidence. The translation follows it column by column, with every survey and account number copied exactly.
A new name after marriage
Some Maharashtrian women take a new given name as well as a new surname when they marry, and the change may be recorded in the Government Gazette. The translation keeps both names exactly as each document gives them, so a reader can connect the birth certificate to the passport.
Devanagari, but Marathi
Marathi is written in Devanagari, the same script as Hindi, but it is a different language, and it is translated as Marathi, not as Hindi. Devanagari numerals are written as Western digits, and names are spelled as your passport spells them.
For a visa or an Australian office
Who may translate, in Home Affairs’ words
Translated in Australia
“All documents not in English must be translated into English. Translators in Australia must be accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters.” A 7/12 extract or a certificate translated here for a visa file should meet that; the NAATI certification option does.

Translated in India
For a translation made outside Australia, the partner visa checklist asks for the translator’s “full name; address and telephone number; qualifications and experience in the language they are translating”, all in English. If a translation made in Pune or Mumbai shows them, it may be enough.
