Certified document translation

Documents submitted to embassies or foreign authorities often need a translation with a certification of accuracy. We translate, certify the translation and coordinate MFA legalization as the receiving authority requires.

Translation and certification steps

  1. Step 1

    Send documents and state the destination

    Tell us the document type, target language and the authority you will submit to, because each sets its own certification format.

  2. Step 2

    Check the originals

    We check the legibility of the originals, names and key figures; an unclear original may need a fresh copy from the issuing agency.

  3. Step 3

    Translate and proofread

    A translator renders the content and a reviewer checks terminology, proper names and formatting against the original.

  4. Step 4

    Certify the translation

    We issue a certification of accuracy in the format the receiving authority accepts; some cases require a Notarial Services Attorney's signature certification.

  5. Step 5

    Legalize if required

    If the destination requires it, the translation is legalized at the Department of Consular Affairs, MFA, and in some cases at the embassy.

What to know before ordering

  • 'Certified translation' means different things in different countries: some authorities accept a translation company's certification, others require a registered translator or MFA legalization.
  • A translation certification confirms the accuracy of the translation, not the truth of the original document's contents.
  • Thailand is not a party to the Apostille Convention; most translations for use abroad need MFA legalization and possibly the destination embassy's legalization.
  • Names and place names in the translation should match the passport or existing official documents to avoid rejection.

MFA official fees are published by the ministry. Our service fee is given separately in a written quotation.

Frequently asked questions

How does certified translation differ from ordinary translation?

A certified translation comes with a certification of accuracy, suitable for submission to government agencies, embassies or educational institutions.

Which documents usually need certified translation?

For example marriage certificates, house registrations, birth certificates, diplomas, company affidavits and financial documents submitted to foreign authorities.

Do embassies accept a translation company's certification?

Each embassy sets its own rules; some accept a translation company's certification, others require MFA legalization. Check that embassy's requirements first.

Must I provide the physical original?

A clear copy or scan is usually enough for translation, but some certification steps require showing the physical original.

How long does it take?

It depends on volume, language and further legalization steps; we do not promise a fixed period and give a timeframe after reviewing the documents.

What does it cost?

It depends on the document type, target language and certification steps. We quote after review. No guarantee of outcome and no refund policy.
