IND receives the file and expects Dutch or English translation as IND specifies. The certificate is legalised at the Department of Consular Affairs and attested at the Netherlands mission in Thailand where required.
Thailand acceded to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026 and it enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027, so no Thai Apostille is issued yet, so no Apostille is issued in Thailand. A police clearance certificate for overseas use is translated, legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs, and then attested at the destination mission in Thailand where the receiving authority requires it.
Obtain the certificate from The Criminal Records Division, Royal Thai Police, through its Police Clearance Service Centre in Pathum Wan, Bangkok, translate it to the standard the destination accepts (Dutch or English translation as IND specifies), and then Thailand acceded to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026 and it enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027, so no Thai Apostille is issued yet, so no Apostille is issued in Thailand. A police clearance certificate for overseas use is translated, legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs, and then attested at the destination mission in Thailand where the receiving authority requires it. The receiving body is IND.
No Thai Apostille is available yet, because Thailand acceded to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026 and it enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027, so no Thai Apostille is issued yet. A document issued in Thailand therefore runs through MFA legalisation and attestation at the Netherlands mission in Thailand.
Dutch or English translation as IND specifies. The translator signs a statement of accuracy, and the name must match the passport letter for letter.
IND is the primary receiving body. The receiving body always sets the final format, so confirm its requirements before starting the certification chain.
Either file through the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate-General in Netherlands for fingerprinting and onward transmission, or appoint a representative in Thailand and send a certified fingerprint card.
The Royal Thai Police can issue in Thai or English as requested, while Netherlands expects Dutch or English translation as IND specifies, so choose the version that avoids translating twice.
Ask IND for the reason in writing and fix only that point — a fresh translation, a more recently issued certificate, or the missing certification step. Where the error is ours, we redo the translation at no translation charge.
When IND requires one issued within a set window before filing, or when the name changes after issue.
