NAATI Dari Translation Certification
NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is Australia's national standards and accreditation body for translators and interpreters. Our Dari translators hold NAATI Certified credentials.
NAATI certifies Dari translators, listed separately from Farsi (Persian). Dari is one of the highest-demand NAATI languages due to the large Afghan community in Australia.
Right-to-left script: Dari is written from right to left. Our translators ensure that all translated documents maintain correct text direction, formatting, and layout, which is particularly important for official documents and certificates that need to mirror the original format.
Arabic (Perso-Arabic variant) script: Dari uses the Arabic (Perso-Arabic variant) script. Our translation process ensures that all characters are correctly rendered and that the final document maintains professional formatting suitable for submission to government agencies, courts, and immigration authorities.

The Dari Language
- Dari is natively known as دری and belongs to the Indo-European, Iranian, Western Iranian language family.
- There are approximately 25 million native speakers worldwide.
- Dari is one of two official languages of Afghanistan (alongside Pashto) and is the Afghan variety of Persian, mutually intelligible with Farsi (Iran) and Tajik (Tajikistan).
- Dari serves as the lingua franca of Afghanistan, used for inter-ethnic communication among the country's diverse ethnic groups including Tajiks, Hazaras, Uzbeks, and Pashtuns.
- The Dari literary tradition is rich and ancient, sharing the heritage of classical Persian poetry including the works of Rumi, Hafez, and Ferdowsi.
- Dari uses four additional letters not found in standard Arabic: pe, che, zhe, and gaf, to represent Persian sounds absent in Arabic.
- Despite being the same language family as Farsi, Dari has retained some archaic features lost in Iranian Persian and has borrowed more vocabulary from Pashto, Turkic, and English.
- Afghanistan-born Australians number over 50,000, with the community growing substantially since the 2000s due to conflict-driven migration. Many arrived as refugees and humanitarian entrants. Communities are concentrated in Melbourne (Dandenong), Sydney (Merrylands, Auburn), and Adelaide, with Hazara, Tajik, and Pashtun communities often maintaining distinct cultural identities.
About Bridgeman Downs
Bridgeman Downs is a suburb located approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) north-west of Brisbane CBD. In November 1860 Henry St John Bridgeman bought land bounded by Albany Creek Road, Bridgeman Road and Beams Road. Bridgeman Downs has long been associated with large acreage properties, but these are mostly restricted to the end of Beckett Road and down Bridgeman Road. The majority of Bridgeman Downs, surrounded by Aspley, Albany Creek, McDowall and Carseldine is residential estate, established in the late eighties and early nineties. The resident population is relatively young, however there is a retirement village and a cemetery.
Bridgeman Downs includes three large-scale Christian churches; the Bridgeman Baptist Community Church, the Bridgeman Downs Christian Outreach Centre and the C3 Church, while a local community Anglican church exists next to the retirement village on Ridley Road. The area was mostly developed in the 1990s, which can be seen as the majority of houses in the residential estates are quite modern. Many families choose to live in Bridgeman Downs because of the larger homes and generous blocks (plenty big enough for a pool) and proximity to shops such as Pick n Pay Hypermarket at Aspley and various public and private schools.
