Documents Required

Original document to be certified (or freshly issued certified copy within validity window)
Copy of national ID or passport, signed and dated as a true copy

Step-by-Step Process

1. Send scanned copies of source documents to us via LINE/email for free initial review.
2. Our team confirms eligibility, issues a written quote and a guaranteed turnaround.
3. You deliver originals to our office (or book a Bangkok pickup) and pay a 50% deposit.
4. We translate, certify, and submit to the relevant Thai authority in sequence.
5. Final documents are scanned and emailed for your review before physical dispatch.
6. We ship by EMS domestically and DHL/FedEx internationally, with tracking numbers.

Timeline & Fees

Standard turnaround: 5-7 business days from receipt of complete originals.
Rush turnaround: 1-3 business days (rush surcharge applies).
Government fees are charged at official rates with no markup.
Domestic EMS at Thailand Post rates; international DHL/FedEx at actual weight-based rates.

Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them

Originals out of validity window — many destinations require documents issued within 3-6 months. Confirm with the destination authority first.
Name mismatch between document and passport — embassies reject these. Correct it at the district office before translating.
Using a translator without an official seal — MFA and embassies will not accept it; you'll restart the chain.
Skipping MFA legalization before the embassy step — wastes multiple trips and weeks of time.

What legalization do Thai government documents need to be used overseas?

Three steps: (1) certified translation by an accredited translator, (2) MFA legalization at the Consular Department (Chaeng Watthana, Bangkok), and (3) attestation by the destination country's embassy. NYC handles all three end-to-end in 5–10 business days.

Frequently asked

Q.How long does it take?

Translation + translator certification: 1–2 business days. MFA legalization: 3–5 days. Embassy attestation: 2–7 days. Total 5–14 business days depending on volume and destination.

Q.Do you need the originals?

Scanned colour copies are fine to start. MFA legalization requires originals (or freshly issued copies, not older than 6 months).

Q.Can I get just the certified translation without MFA?

Yes — many countries and visa categories accept translator-certified copies. We'll verify the embassy's requirement before quoting.

Q.Can you translate a foreign birth certificate into Thai?

Yes. We translate foreign-issued birth certificates back into Thai and process MFA legalization for Thai civil registration.
