Service Knowledge Base

Thai medical documents — certificates, records and test results

Answers on translating and certifying Thai medical certificates, treatment records, test results and vaccination records for visas, insurance claims, continued treatment abroad, or study and employment requirements. (24+ search topics covered)

What makes a Thai medical certificate acceptable abroad?

The certificate must be issued and signed by a physician licensed in Thailand, on the institution's letterhead, identifying the patient in the same form as the passport and stating the examination date. For official use abroad it is then translated, legalised at the Department of Consular Affairs and, where required, endorsed by the destination mission. Many receiving bodies also prescribe their own form, in which case the doctor should complete that form rather than issue a general certificate.

Can you interpret a diagnosis for me?

No. We are not medical practitioners and give no clinical opinion. Our role is limited to rendering the document's text accurately.

How do I obtain hospital records?

Request certified copies from the hospital's medical-records department in person or through an authorised representative with ID. Only the hospital-sealed copy can enter the certification chain.

Can you issue or amend a medical certificate?

Never. Only a physician licensed by the Thai Medical Council may issue one. We translate the source document exactly and manage the certification chain; altering medical records is a criminal offence.

Can a medical certificate be translated after the hospital has issued it?

Yes — translation is a separate step and does not require the hospital to reissue the document. What matters is that the translation reproduces the physician's name and licence number, the date, diagnosis wording and stamps exactly, and that the patient's name matches the passport. If the hospital used a Thai transliteration different from the passport, we add a translator's note rather than silently changing the spelling.

How are medical records handled confidentially?

Health information is sensitive personal data under Thailand's personal data protection law, so records should move only with the patient's documented consent and to the recipients that consent identifies. Translators handling such files work under confidentiality obligations, return or destroy working copies, and avoid transmitting records through channels that keep uncontrolled copies.

What must a medical certificate for a visa contain?

Issuance by a licensed practitioner or facility, the patient's name exactly as in the passport, examination date, the specific items the destination requires, the doctor's signature and licence number, and the facility seal. Some countries accept only panel clinics.

How long is a medical certificate valid?

Validity is set by the receiving party — embassy, employer or institution — not by the translator. Confirm their limit before starting, so the document does not expire while in queue.

Practical Q&A

Practical questions · Near me / DIY / Required documents

Is there a service point near me?

Our main offices are Lat Phrao 95 (Bangkok), Khon Kaen and Udon Thani. We serve the whole country through scans and document courier, and can meet at city rail stations or malls. Ask our team by phone, LINE or email for the most convenient option.

Can I handle this myself?

Many steps can be done personally under the relevant authority's rules. What usually costs time is the wrong sequence, a translation format that does not match the requirement, or a source document version the recipient will not accept. Check the destination checklist before starting and ask us if anything is unclear.

Which documents should I prepare?

Generally the original document from the competent authority, the owner's ID or passport, a translation in the format the destination requires, and a power of attorney if someone acts for you. Details vary by service type — ask our team for a case-specific checklist.
