Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
271. Do I need NAATI certification to translate relationship evidence chat logs for an Australian partner visa?
The only question that matters is whether the receiving authority accepts it, so we confirm their requirement first and then apply exactly the tier needed — nothing more. One coordinator owns the matter end to end and reports progress by LINE or email at the intervals you set. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.

Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
584. What are the legal requirements for setting up an online digital streaming and broadcasting service in Thailand?
Electronic documents must be traceable to their source, so deliverables ship with an audit trail whenever the receiving party asks for one.
