Governing legal references
Translation and certification of public files for overseas use follows the ISO 17100:2015 Translation Services standard. Our certified translations are issued with a Certified Translation Statement and notarial seal.
Apostille procedure follows the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public files. Thailand’s Apostille accession (30 June 2026) only enters into force on 28 February 2027, so files bound for Hague member states must always pass MFA + destination embassy.
Legalization by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs follows Department of Consular Affairs regulations — files must first pass Notary Public, or be Thai government-issued files that the Department recognises.
NAATI translation for clients targeting Australia follows the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters standard, and is accepted directly by DHA, Centrelink, Medicare, and Australian courts without further MFA or embassy steps.
