Applicable Thai laws
NAATI translation for clients targeting Australia follows the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters protocol, and is accepted directly by DHA, Centrelink, Medicare, and Australian courts without further MFA or embassy steps.
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.
Notary Public services in Thailand operate under the Lawyers Council of Thailand Regulation on Registration of Notarial Services Attorneys B.E. 2551 (and amendments), which requires every notarising lawyer to complete training and register with the Council.
Translation and certification of public files for overseas use follows the ISO 17100:2015 Translation Services protocol. Our certified translations are issued with a Certified Translation Statement and notarial seal.

Pre-delivery QC pipeline
Every file handled by our Italy office passes a 5-stage top-tier Control pipeline — Intake, Draft Review, Processing, Dual QA cross-check, and tracked Delivery — to free correction and reissue when the error is ours.
Payments are processed through the firm's corporate account with proper receipts and 7% VAT tax invoices under the Revenue Code, and a systematic payment-evidence archive allows clients to audit transactions retrospectively.
All case coordinator members sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and Confidentiality Agreement before onboarding, with mandatory PDPA Awareness training every 6 months to maintain statutory confidentiality standards.
If a file we prepared is rejected because of an error on our side, we correct it within the agreed scope. Acceptance itself is always decided by the embassy or destination authority.
