Translations will soon be available under the same roof as licence renewals in NSW.
Sydney, Wollongong and Newcastle residents will be able to call in at eight Service NSW branches to have documents translated into more than 100 languages and dialects.
The service will cost between $77 and $117 but isn't expected to be a money-spinner for the government.
Rather, Multiculturalism Minister John Ajaka hopes it will make life easier for travellers, businesses and those with limited English.
"With 20 per cent of people in NSW speaking a language other than English at home, this is a practical and commonsense initiative that will make life easier for our community," he said.
Mr Ajaka will visit southwest Sydney on Tuesday to launch the initiative, which has already been trialled at two service centres.
