Our agency was established in April 2015 by Jenna Milesi, a freelance Russian to English translator and Full Member of the New Zealand Society of Translators and Interpreters (NZSTI). Since then the agency has seen significant growth and has grown 8 times its initial size since its creation, and we’re now able to translate more than 15 different languages into English; providing certified translations for business, legal and personal use.
Little Kiwi Linguist is an NZTA approved agency and meaning you can trust us to translate your driver’s license to the approved standards. Our translations can be used for Immigration New Zealand (INZ) purposes, so whether you need help with immigration documentation or simply need someone to cast an expert eye over your business papers, our team of experienced translators will be happy to help.
