Medical License Certificate
Thai Medical Council (TMC) · Used for USMLE / ECFMG · UK GMC · Australia AHPRA
Foreign medical councils performing primary-source verification rely on the Medical License Certificate as the canonical Thai-side record because the Thai Medical Council (TMC) is the originating authority.
End-to-end accountability with direct EPIC, Dataflow, physiciansapply.ca and Council uploads.
Issuance at the Thai Medical Council (TMC) takes 3-7 working days with a government fee of 300 บาท/ฉบับ. NYC Legal handles the entire request under power of attorney.
The document is then translated into the destination language by a registrar-listed translator, legalised at the MFA, and either Apostilled or attested at the relevant embassy — or uploaded directly to EPIC, Dataflow or physiciansapply.ca.
First-pass acceptance at ECFMG / GMC / AHPRA / Dataflow currently sits at 95-97%.
