Academic Transcript + Degree for overseas study/work

Documents to prepare

• • English-language transcripts issued by the institution in a sealed, stamped envelope
• • The degree certificate or a certificate of completion
• • A statement of the grading system, where requested
• • The passport, to fix name spelling
• • Proof of name change if the degree name differs from the passport
• • Destination details such as a recipient code or dedicated mailing address

Step-by-step process

1. 1. Check the evaluator's rules — Sealing, sender and delivery channel differ between services.
2. 2. Request documents from the institution — Ask the registrar for English versions sealed in the required format.
3. 3. Certify translations of Thai-language content — Course titles, grades and stamp text must all be translated.
4. 4. File the evaluation application — Complete the online form and pay the evaluator directly at its own rates.
5. 5. Track until receipt is confirmed — Keep tracking numbers and confirmation emails.

Pitfalls and rejection causes

• • An opened envelope is void even if the contents are correct.
• • Many evaluators refuse documents forwarded by the applicant.
• • Name mismatches always require a change-of-name document.
• • Queues lengthen around intake deadlines — plan backwards.

Tips from our team

• • Order several sealed sets at once; each application consumes one.
• • Photograph the sealed flap before dispatch.
• • Share your application deadline so the schedule can be built in reverse.

• Allow for each step's queue

  Total turnaround depends on the current workload of the consular office and of the destination embassy. Plan ahead rather than against a tight travel date; we can give a case-specific range by phone, LINE or email.

• Keep a scanned backup at every stage

  Photograph or scan every page before submission and again after each stamp, so you have a reference if a document is lost in transit.

• Separate public documents from private ones

  Public records such as house registration, birth and marriage certificates enter the certification chain directly. Private documents such as powers of attorney, affidavits and contracts must first be attested by a Notarial Services Attorney.

• Get the receiving party's requirements in writing

  Universities, employers and registry offices publish their own checklists. Obtaining that checklist first fixes the number of copies, the language and the certification route correctly on the first attempt.

• Certifying a copy that no longer matches the register

  If a registry entry changes after the copy was issued, for example a name change or address move, the certified copy will contradict the database. Re-issue before starting.

• Signature mismatch

  Signature attestation is compared against the signature on the ID card or passport. A different signature style will be refused at the counter.

• Opening a bound and sealed bundle

  Bundles sealed across the binding must never be separated. Removing the staple voids the certification and the whole set has to be redone.

• Ignoring the required translation language

  Some countries accept only translations into their own official language, not English. Certifying an English translation first can mean repeating the entire chain.
