Depending on your situation

• English translation of any document written in another languageConditions and details

  Only if you attach documents that are not in English. In Australia, the translator must be accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). Outside Australia, accreditation is not required, but each translation must bear, in English, the translator's full name, address, telephone number, qualifications and experience in the language translated. No certification is required unless requested by the department.
• Original documents attached with their translationWhen a document is translated, the application must contain both the original and the English translation.
• Police certificate, if requested by the departmentConditions and details

  Concerns a person who has a criminal conviction and nevertheless lodges an eVisitor application (the page instead recommends the visitor visa, subclass 600): they must declare all their criminal history, answer all questions truthfully and give details of the offences, fines or penalties. The department may then request a police certificate.
