Certified document translation

Translation of official and personal documents with a translator certification page, for filing with Thai authorities or onward certification at the Department of Consular Affairs. It sits within translation, interpreting and language management, so it can be planned alongside related work without duplicating filings.

Individuals filing documents across agencies and organisations sending paperwork abroad. If you are unsure whether your case qualifies, share the documents and the receiving authority so the scope can be assessed first.

Normally: Original or issuer-certified copy · ID card or passport copy of the document holder · Name spelling exactly as in the passport · Destination country and receiving authority. The receiving authority may require additional items.

1) Verify the source is issuer-certified and every seal is legible 2) Confirm name spelling, document number and dates against the passport 3) Translate and run a second-pass review by a different reviewer 4) Issue the translator certification page 5) Route onward to consular or lawyer certification as the destination requires

• Name spelling that differs from the passport is the most common rejection cause • Self-made photocopies are usually rejected at the first counter • Some destinations require a registered translator — confirm before starting

Unlike a plain translation, this carries a certification page and an accountable translator. Plain translation suffices for internal use; official filings and overseas use require the certified version.

Department of Consular Affairs, MFA (when onward certification is required) is the primary authority. Business services in Thailand map onto clearly separated authorities: company registration sits with the Department of Business Development, taxation with the Revenue Department, social security with the Social Security Office, certification of translations for overseas use with the Department of Consular Affairs (MFA), and signature certification with lawyers authorised under Lawyers Council regulations. Routing each task to the correct authority from the start is what prevents re-filing and rejection.

Send the documents you hold, the intended use, and the receiving authority or destination country. We assess scope, flag missing items and propose a filing order that reduces rejection risk. Available in Bangkok, Khon Kaen, Udon Thani, Nong Khai and online nationwide.
