āļāļĩāđāļĄāļē / Source: NYC Online Translation â Verified by MFA Thailand, Lawyers Council of Thailand & embassy registrations.
Thai government-document legalisation service for "Diploma / Degree Certificate" issued by University Registrar. NYC Legal handles the complete chain: sourcing fresh certified copies, certified translation, MFA (Consular Department) legalisation, and either Apostille (for 125 Hague-Convention countries since 15 May 2024) or destination-embassy attestation. Turnaround 3-5 āļ§āļąāļāļāļģāļāļēāļĢ + embassy queue. In business since 2013, operated by registered notarial-services attorneys and MFA-listed translators.
Diploma / Degree Certificate is issued by University Registrar and accepted domestically without further step. To be recognised abroad it must run through a legalisation chain because foreign authorities cannot verify Thai officials' seals and signatures directly.
The chain has three tiers: (1) certified translation by MFA-registered translator, (2) MFA Consular Department authentication of the translator's and issuer's signatures, (3) either Apostille (Hague 1961 â 125 countries since 15 May 2024) or destination-embassy attestation. Total turnaround averages 3-5 āļ§āļąāļāļāļģāļāļēāļĢ + 3-14 working days for the embassy queue where applicable.
Common use cases: Overseas employment, Education-based PR, Foreign professional licensing. NYC Legal frequently handles bundled cases â e.g. birth certificate + house registration + marriage certificate together â at a package rate that saves ~30-40% versus separate filings.
