Service Knowledge Base
Certified translation in Thailand — questions clients actually ask
First-party answers on language coverage, Thai civil-registry documents, translator certification, MFA legalisation and onward embassy attestation. (53+ search topics covered)
Can Thailand issue an Apostille?
Thailand deposited its instrument of accession to the 1961 Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026, and the Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027. Until that date Thai documents still follow the two-step route: legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs, then legalisation by the destination country's embassy in Thailand. Until then, Thai documents follow the traditional chain: MFA legalisation, then destination-embassy attestation.
What makes a translation "certified" for Thai official use?
In Thai practice a translation is accepted when it is complete, faithful to the layout of the original, and accompanied by the translator's declaration with name, signature and contact details; for consular use the translator's signature is then certified by the Department of Consular Affairs. Some foreign authorities additionally require a sworn or court-appointed translator of their own country, which is a separate requirement we identify before starting.
How is pricing calculated?
By page or word count, subject matter, language pair and turnaround, plus the actual government fees incurred at the legalisation and embassy stages. A line-by-line quotation is issued before work starts.
Foreign documents used in Thailand — what is the route?
The document is normally authenticated in the issuing country and attested by the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate there, then translated into Thai and submitted for translation legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs in Thailand.
How should names be spelled?
Exactly as in the passport that will be used for the application. If an older Thai document shows a different romanisation, supply the passport spelling in advance and include a translated name-change certificate where relevant.
How long does the process take?
Translation itself is usually a few business days depending on volume and language pair. MFA legalisation has both standard and express channels with different cut-off times and fees — check the Department of Consular Affairs website for current schedules before booking a visa appointment.
Which languages do you cover?
English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Vietnamese and Burmese among others. Where an authority accepts only certain languages, we translate into English as the pivot language and then into the target language as required.
Do certified translations expire?
The translation itself has no fixed validity, but many authorities require the underlying document (single-status certificate, company affidavit) to be issued within the last three to six months. Check the receiving authority's rule before translating.

Practical Q&A
Practical questions · Near me / DIY / Required documents
How do I find certified translation near me?
You usually do not need to travel: documents are accepted as scans and returned by courier nationwide. If you prefer to meet in person, we have service points at Lat Phrao 95 (Bangkok), Khon Kaen and Udon Thani, plus hand-over meeting points near city rail stations.
Can I translate it myself and have it certified afterwards?
It depends on the recipient. The Department of Consular Affairs certifies a translation by checking it against the original rather than by translator identity, but many embassies and foreign authorities require an independent or accredited translator. Check the destination's rule before self-translating to avoid a rejection cycle.
What do you need from me to start?
Sharp colour scans of every page including seals and signatures, the English spelling of names exactly as printed in the passport, the receiving authority and country, and your deadline. Sending any previously certified translation helps keep terminology and name spelling consistent across the set.
Practical advice & cautions
Document translation: what to prepare and what gets rejected
Before you start
Sequence the steps so originals stay valid
When translation, certification and apostille or embassy steps are chained, allow for each authority's queue and start with the longest step so the underlying original does not age out.
Order fresh certified copies
Many civil-registry and court documents are only accepted if issued recently. Request a newly certified copy before translation rather than reusing an old photocopy.
Name the destination authority before choosing a translation type
Certification systems are not interchangeable. Australian authorities require NAATI-certified translators, while documents used inside Thailand or filed at embassies in Thailand usually need translation certification by the Department of Consular Affairs. Tell us the receiving authority and country first.
Match the passport spelling exactly
Translations must reproduce the given name and surname exactly as printed in the passport you will submit, not a fresh transliteration. Always send the passport bio page together with the documents.
Common reasons documents get rejected
Using the wrong certification system
A consular-certified Thai translation does not replace a NAATI translation for Australian authorities, and a NAATI stamp is not a Thai government certification. Choose the system that matches the destination from the start.
Submitting the translation without the source copy
Many authorities require the source document to be attached to each translated page so the text can be verified. A standalone translation is usually returned.
Inconsistent names across the bundle
If you have changed your name or used different spellings, include the official name-change certificate and its translation; otherwise the authority may treat the documents as belonging to different people.
Leaving page elements untranslated
Seals, signatures, reverse-side text and marginal notes must all be rendered or described. Omitting them is one of the most common rejection causes.
Requirements differ by authority and destination country and can change. Confirm current conditions with the receiving authority, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
