🇪🇸 Medical Certificate → Catalan

The Medical Certificate is rarely a simple, free-form letter. It contains official Thai terminology — registry numbers, district codes, parental information, registration officers' titles — that translate differently depending on the receiving country. Administrative units like "ตำบล", "แขวง" and "เขต" carry distinct weight that must surface in Catalan; flattening them into one English word erases the level of authority the foreign registrar is trying to verify.

Embassies usually accept Thai hospital templates without MFA, but the translation must be on the hospital's letterhead photocopy + our certification.

Our Catalan desk maintains a glossary reconciled against:

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

End-to-end the file is engineered to be boring for the receiving officer — every fact in the place they expect it, every term they expect to see — and boring files clear on first read.

The Medical Certificate is almost never accepted as a standalone submission; the receiving Catalan office typically wants several of the supporting items below in the same envelope.

• Work permit — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.
• Visa medical clearance — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.
• Insurance claim — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.

For German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch use, the receiving authority will check the sworn translator's registration number against the local court list; we either use a registered translator or arrange a follow-on sworn re-certification in the destination country.

For the Medical Certificate specifically, our Catalan desk pays particular attention to:

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

Our standard pipeline runs through eight gates; each one is logged in a case file you can audit later:

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

Treat the numbers below as the published price band for the standard 1-page Medical Certificate → Catalan workflow; we lock the final figure in writing before any gate runs:

• Translation: ฿700 – ฿1,300 (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.
• Catalan embassy attestation: ฿2,500 – ฿12,000 per document depending on embassy.

The total bill scales with page count, with rush options at +50–100%, and with whether the destination demands additional notarised affidavits. Send a scan via LINE @NYCLI or email nyclegal@ilc.ltd for a fixed quote inside 15 minutes during business hours.

Standard turnaround for a Medical Certificate → Catalan translation alone is 24–48 hours. 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.

The post-mortem on a rejected Medical Certificate almost always lands on one of these patterns — and almost never on a genuinely novel problem:

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

The bilingual glossary below is the same one our Catalan reviewers apply to every file — copy it across to whoever is double-checking the document at the receiving end:

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

Structurally we are a law firm with an embedded language-services department, not a language vendor that buys legal advice as needed — the difference is decisive on rejection-risk work. 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 Catalan 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 Catalan 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

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

Once a file has cleared MFA and the Catalan embassy in Bangkok, the receiving office abroad usually accepts it without further questions. 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
