🇲🇬 Degree Certificate → Malagasy

When a foreign registrar scans a translated Degree Certificate, they are matching specific cells of information against an internal template — the prose only has to faithfully expose those cells in the right order, with the right labels. Where the original ปริญญาบัตร reuses a registrar title in different tenses, the Malagasy version must preserve the tense distinction — confusing "registered" with "is registering" changes the document's legal effect.

Honorifics, faculty names, and university Latin names must follow each institution's official English form. We maintain a database of ≈150 Thai universities.

Our Malagasy desk maintains a glossary reconciled against:

• The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs Department of Consular Affairs
• The Malagasy embassy in Bangkok
• Relevant universities, professional bodies, and court systems in Malagasy-speaking jurisdictions

Translated to numbers, the rigour above means most Degree Certificate packets we send into the Malagasy chain return stamped on the first attempt, with rework restricted to a small tail of edge cases (mostly client-side document edits).

The same eight-step workflow runs on every job — none of the gates are optional and none are bypassed for speed:

1. Document intake. Send us a high-resolution PDF/photo of the original Degree Certificate. We verify it is a current Amphur or court-issued copy.
2. Translation into Malagasy. Performed by our credentialed senior translator vetted by Thailand's Department of Consular Affairs. Names, dates and registration numbers are cross-checked against your passport.
3. Malagasy embassy attestation. We submit to the destination embassy in Bangkok and collect the legalised document.
4. Delivery. Pickup at our office, courier in Bangkok, EMS across Thailand, or DHL Express to 200+ countries.
5. Thai MFA legalisation. Our courier files at the Department of Consular Affairs (Chaeng Watthana) the next working day. Standard return: 3–5 working days.
6. Second-eye QA. A senior reviewer cross-checks every page against the source and flags any name/date inconsistency before the seal is applied.
7. Notary Public (if required). One of our six in-house Notarial Services Attorneys notarises the translation, which most embassies require.
8. Company certification. We affix our official translator seal and a signed declaration accepted by Thai MFA.

South African, Kenyan and Nigerian authorities accept English directly; francophone West African states (Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, DRC) require a French translation with the MFA+embassy chain.

For the Degree Certificate specifically, our Malagasy desk pays particular attention to:

• Name transliteration. Malagasy authorities check the translated name against your passport — any mismatch is grounds for rejection.
• Form codes. Original Thai reference numbers and registration codes are preserved verbatim.
• Official seals & stamps. Thai stamps and signatures are described in the target language so overseas officers can verify authenticity.
• Officer titles. Registrar, Chief District Officer and District Officer are kept distinct, mapped to whichever term the destination registry uses internally.
• Dates & calendars. The Thai Buddhist year (พ.ศ.) must be converted to the Common Era; we provide both formats side-by-side.

The receiving Malagasy authority will usually request one or more of the following alongside your translated Degree Certificate; we'll email a destination-specific checklist once we know your target country.

• Postgraduate admission — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.
• Professional registration (engineering, medicine, accounting) — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.
• Work permit application — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.

In a normal week we close a Degree Certificate → Malagasy translation inside one to two business days end-to-end. Adding MFA legalisation extends the total to 4–7 working days. Embassy attestation adds another 3–10 working days depending on the destination.

For urgent cases we offer:

• 4-hour rush translation — surcharge of 50–100%.
• 1-day express MFA — additional government fee, file before the 09:30 cut-off.
• Embassy priority queues — available with most embassies in Bangkok at a small handling fee.

Here is the line-item budget our case managers quote for a 1-page Degree Certificate on the Malagasy pipeline:

• Translation: ฿1,680 – ฿2,688 (includes company seal & certifying statement, MFA-accepted).
• Notary Public (Notarial Services Attorney): ฿1,500 – ฿4,000 per document if required by the destination.
• Thai MFA legalisation: ฿800 – ฿1,500 per document.
• Malagasy embassy attestation: ฿2,500 – ฿12,000 per document depending on embassy.

Where a file moves cleanly through the standard pipeline the line items above are the full price; rush windows and extra affidavits are the only common add-ons. Send a scan via LINE @NYCLI or email nyclegal@ilc.ltd for a fixed quote inside 15 minutes during business hours.

Across the rejected files we see each year, the same five causes account for the vast majority of redo work on a Degree Certificate:

• Out-of-date copies — embassies usually want a Degree Certificate issued within the last 3–6 months.
• Translations done by uncertified translators that lack the MFA-accepted seal.
• Photocopies submitted instead of originals with attached translation.
• Missing MFA or embassy gate — most Malagasy authorities require both, not just one.
• Names spelled differently across passport, Degree Certificate and supporting documents — Malagasy authorities require an exact match.

Treat the table below as the canonical mapping of Thai registry terms into Malagasy as applied across every NYC Legal file — overseas reviewers familiar with our work will recognise it immediately:

• Certified translation / คำแปลรับรอง — translation accompanied by a signed declaration of accuracy; required by MFA.
• Transliteration — converting Thai script names into Malagasy characters; must match the spelling in your passport.
• MFA legalisation / รับรองกระทรวงการต่างประเทศ — the Department of Consular Affairs authenticates the translator's seal; mandatory for most overseas use.
• Embassy attestation / รับรองสถานทูต — the Malagasy embassy in Bangkok validates the Thai MFA stamp.
• Notarisation / รับรองโนตารี — a Notarial Services Attorney certifies the translator's signature or the copy; required by some Malagasy authorities.
• Apostille — single-step alternative to MFA+embassy for Hague Convention members (Thailand: not a signatory yet → MFA route applies).
• Sworn translator / ผู้แปลสาบาน — translator officially registered with a foreign court or ministry; relevant for Malagasy in some EU jurisdictions.

The Malagasy workflow is one division of a registered Thai law firm with six in-house Notarial Services Attorneys, which is why every file can be notarised, MFA-stamped and embassy-attested without leaving our office chain. We operate six in-house Notarial Services Attorneys, a panel of more than 200 certified translators across 205 languages, and a dedicated MFA & embassy liaison team that visits the Department of Consular Affairs at Chaeng Watthana every working day.

For the Malagasy pair your file is handled by senior translator vetted by Thailand's Department of Consular Affairs who is screened on three criteria: native or near-native Malagasy command, demonstrated court-grade legal-translation experience, and a clean track record with Thailand's MFA and the relevant embassy. Every translator signs an NDA covering attorney-client privilege.

Concrete reasons clients return

• Bilingual case manager. One person handles your file end-to-end; ask questions in Thai, English or via your preferred language.
• Rejection insurance. If MFA or the Malagasy embassy rejects our work due to a translation defect, we re-file at no charge and absorb the government re-filing fee.
• Confidentiality by default. Files are encrypted at rest, deleted from working storage 90 days after delivery, and never used as AI training data.
• Fixed-fee quotes within 15 minutes. No surprise charges after the work begins; the LINE quote is the invoice you receive on delivery.
• Single-window service. Translation, Notary, MFA filing, embassy attestation and worldwide courier are booked once — you do not chase three vendors.
• EN, TH and Malagasy support by phone, LINE, WhatsApp, WeChat, KakaoTalk, Telegram and email.

First-pass acceptance by the destination Malagasy authority is the metric we optimise the whole pipeline against, and it is the metric we hit on the overwhelming majority of files. If the receiving office requests an additional step — for example a sworn translator's signature notarised in the destination country, or a translation re-done into a regional dialect — we provide a follow-up service from our partner network of overseas counsel.

• Long-term archiving — your translated and legalised file is archived for 7 years; request a fresh certified copy at any time without re-paying for translation.
• Re-issuance — if the destination retains the original, we keep the certified scan on file and produce another legalised copy on 48-hour turnaround.
• Affidavit of translation accuracy — a sworn statement signed before a Notary Public in the destination country; we prepare the bilingual template.
• Apostille substitution letter — for receiving authorities that mistakenly request an Apostille (Thailand is not yet a Hague signatory), we provide a notarised explanation letter accepted by most foreign registrars.
