🇿🇼 Company Affidavit (DBD Certificate) → Shona

Treating a Company Affidavit (DBD Certificate) as ordinary prose is the single most common reason these files come back stamped "ไม่ผ่าน". The Thai original is, in effect, a controlled vocabulary disguised as a paragraph. Translator certification blocks drafted by non-specialists frequently omit the licence number or the firm juristic ID — both are mandatory data points the Shona embassy in Bangkok will check before stamping.

Issue date should be within 3 months for most overseas authorities. We can collect from DBD and translate within 48 hours.

Our Shona desk maintains a glossary reconciled against:

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

Because every term has already been reconciled, the Company Affidavit (DBD Certificate) clears the destination Shona counter on first submission in the high-nineties percentile of our case log.

Most African destinations accept English- or French-translated documents legalised by Thai MFA, then by the destination embassy in Bangkok (or by the nearest mission abroad).

For the Company Affidavit (DBD Certificate) specifically, our Shona desk pays particular attention to:

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

Worked pricing example for the typical 2-page Company Affidavit (DBD Certificate) → Shona job — line items shown net of VAT:

• Translation: ฿1,920 – ฿6,144 (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.
• Shona 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.

Across the rejected files we see each year, the same five causes account for the vast majority of redo work on a Company Affidavit (DBD Certificate):

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

Budget two working days for the translation itself; the legalisation chain adds the days after that. 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.

Operationally the workflow is a queue of eight gates; the case manager owns the queue and you receive a notification at each transition:

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

Most Shona registrars file the translated Company Affidavit (DBD Certificate) as part of a small packet; the items below are the ones their checklists most often include alongside it.

• Overseas tender / contract — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.
• Setting up a foreign subsidiary — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.
• Opening overseas bank account — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.

Every translated Shona packet ships with the same controlled vocabulary; we summarise the terms below so receiving counters can audit the file against their own checklist:

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

Our practice is a registered Thai law firm operating under the supervision of the Lawyers Council of Thailand. 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 Shona 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 Shona 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

• Single-window service. Translation, Notary, MFA filing, embassy attestation and worldwide courier are booked once — you do not chase three vendors.
• EN, TH and Shona support by phone, LINE, WhatsApp, WeChat, KakaoTalk, Telegram and email.
• Fixed-fee quotes within 15 minutes. No surprise charges after the work begins; the LINE quote is the invoice you receive on delivery.
• Rejection insurance. If MFA or the Shona embassy rejects our work due to a translation defect, we re-file at no charge and absorb the government re-filing fee.
• 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.

By the time your file has passed through every gate of this pipeline, the destination Shona counter is being handed exactly the format their internal checklists expect. 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.
• Affidavit of translation accuracy — a sworn statement signed before a Notary Public in the destination country; we prepare the bilingual template.
• Re-issuance — if the destination retains the original, we keep the certified scan on file and produce another legalised copy on 48-hour turnaround.
• 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.
