There are four stages: (1) verify that the original medical records was issued by the competent authority and that names, document number and dates are legible; (2) prepare the translation or certification in the format Chinese authorities accepts; (3) submit for certification by the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs; (4) deliver and re-check everything before the actual filing. The most common delay is a name spelling that differs from the passport, so send a passport copy with the first submission. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

The baseline set is: the original medical records (or a copy certified by the issuing office), a copy of the holder's passport or ID card, and a power of attorney if someone else acts on your behalf. If Chinese authorities prescribes its own form, the entries must match the source document character for character. Submit every page, including pages that only carry a seal, because the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs certifies exactly the bundle presented. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

Three variables drive the timeline: the readiness of the original medical records, the certification queue at the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs, and the intake schedule of Chinese authorities. When the original is complete and no re-issue is required, drafting and certification usually run in working days, while government queues shift with filing season. We give you a realistic estimate once we have seen your documents, and we advise against booking flights or appointments before the papers are in hand. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

The certification itself does not expire, but Chinese authorities usually requires civil-status documents to have been issued within a set window before filing (commonly 3 or 6 months). What counts is the issue date of the original medical records, not the certification date. If your filing date is still open, obtain the original as close to filing as possible and certify afterwards to avoid repeating the work. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

As a rule Chinese authorities accepts a translation into the official language of the receiving country, or English where the rules allow it. Who may certify differs by destination: a translator accredited in that country, a NAATI-certified translator for Australia, or a translation certified through the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs for Thai-issued papers. The translation of medical records must reproduce document numbers, seals and signatures, and mark illegible text as such rather than guessing. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

The standard chain for Thai documents is: issuing office → certified translation → the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs → the embassy or consulate of the destination country, where still required. For medical records used with Chinese authorities, the number of layers depends on whether the destination is an Apostille state and what form it accepts. Thailand deposited its instrument of accession to the Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026 and the Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027 (source: HCCH). During the transition, confirm with the receiving authority whether it already accepts an Apostille or still requires embassy legalisation. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

Recurring causes: a name spelled differently from the passport, an original older than the window Chinese authorities allows, an uncertified photocopy, a translation that drops a seal or document number, and an authentication chain done out of order. The fix is always upstream — obtain a fresh medical records or have the issuing office correct the data, then repeat the chain. Never amend by hand: the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs will not certify a document altered outside the official process.

In most cases yes: sign a power of attorney before a Thai embassy or consulate officer where you live, or before a local notary followed by the required onward authentication. Then courier the original medical records and the power of attorney to us; we complete certification with the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs and send the file back to your address. The exception is any step where Chinese authorities requires the holder to appear in person, which we check case by case.

Align them before filing, because Chinese authorities treats the passport as the primary identity reference. Options: (1) ask the issuing office to correct medical records if it is a recording error; (2) obtain a same-person certificate and have it certified through the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs; or (3) use the passport spelling in the translation with a transliteration note. Which route is accepted varies by destination, so confirm before starting. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

Certification must always be based on the original medical records or a copy certified by the issuing office. Scans are fine for an initial assessment and for drafting the translation. For the actual filing, some Chinese authorities channels let you upload first and inspect originals at the appointment. The safe approach is to keep the original ready and to retain one spare certified set. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

Sometimes, depending on whether the original medical records is already in hand and whether the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs is running an expedited channel that week. What speeds things up most: send photos of every page for a pre-check, tell us your exact Chinese authorities appointment date, and prepare the power of attorney in advance. If your deadline is not achievable we say so plainly rather than risk your appointment. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

Tell us the number of sets at the start, because adding sets later means running the whole chain again. We generally suggest one spare beyond what you need, since Chinese authorities usually keeps the filed set. If the documents will be used in more than one country, prepare separate sets per destination — the certification format at the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs and the translation requirements can differ. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

The main drivers are the page count and text density of medical records, the language pair, how many authentication layers Chinese authorities requires, the number of sets, urgency, and the official fees set by the issuing hospital and the Department of Consular Affairs. We do not publish prices on the site because cases genuinely differ and a generic figure would lead to wrong planning.

You can collect at the office, meet at an agreed pick-up point, or have the file shipped with tracking, domestically or internationally. For overseas shipping use a tracked service and give a recipient name matching your ID, as some countries scrutinise inbound official documents. We always photograph the finished medical records set for your approval before dispatch, so you can verify it before it reaches Chinese authorities. For the exact fee and turnaround for your case, please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.
