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
Power of attorney (if a representative will handle it) with a 30 THB revenue stamp
Destination details: country, receiving authority, purpose, and required deadline

Step-by-Step Process

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.

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 THB 2,500–5,000 per document actually covers

Formatting is as important as accuracy — destination officials compare source and translation field by field. We deliver mirror-layout so seals, signatures, and field positions line up with the source.

The 3–5-day timeline and same-day rush

ISO 17100 mandates that the Translator and Reviewer are two different qualified individuals. Our internal register keeps the audit trail so authorities can reconfirm the review chain later.

Documents to send before we quote

Send: 300 dpi scans of the source, passports of the parties (to lock name spellings), and the destination country plus intended use so we can format the Certificate of Accuracy correctly.

ISO 17100 in practice: Translator vs Reviewer

The 3–5-day standard includes translation, review, and formatting. Bangkok same-day rush accepts intake 08:00–20:00 daily at a transparent +30–50% surcharge.

When to chain MFA Consular and embassy legalization

Foreign authorities accept only translations that leave a trace of a real Certified Translator plus an independent Reviewer — the ISO 17100 two-eyes principle is what makes MFA Consular, embassies, and overseas registries trust the artefact.

Translation ID and long-tail verification

Every job carries a 30-day warranty. If the destination rejects due to Certificate-of-Accuracy formatting, name spellings, or layout, we re-issue at no cost — unlimited revisions inside the warranty window.
