Service overview
This service covers the paperwork generated before and around a case: civil and criminal complaints, witness statements, police daily records, arrest reports, hearing minutes, summonses, arrest and search warrants, case files and exhibits. The translators assigned here have a criminal and civil procedure background, because the difficulty is rarely vocabulary — it is rendering concepts such as negligence, oblique intent, marital property or estate property in a way that a foreign reader understands without importing a meaning Thai law does not carry. Statutory references and section numbers cited in the source are reproduced in full so the receiving authority can trace them. Typical destinations are humanitarian and asylum applications, overseas insurance claims following an accident in Thailand, extradition files and submissions to UNHCR. If you are assembling a bundle rather than a single document, ask us to review the list first: we will tell you which items actually need certified translation and which can travel as plain copies.
Typical use cases
- Asylum and humanitarian visa applications

FAQ
- Is a MoJ certified translation of a police daily record enough for a foreign insurer?
- Usually yes, but several European insurers also ask for Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalisation. Check with your insurer before ordering, and we will quote whichever level you need.
- Do you offer a reduction on large case bundles?
- Yes. Larger bundles are quoted at a reduced per-page rate in tiers, and very large project files are quoted individually.
- Can you keep the file confidential?
- Yes. Case files are handled by a named translator under a confidentiality undertaking, and we can sign your own NDA before you send anything.

How the process runs — Ministry of Justice document certification
- State the purpose and the receiving authority so the correct level of certification is chosen.
- Send scans of every page so completeness can be checked before work starts.
- Prepare the translation or the instrument in the format the receiving authority requires.
- Sign or certify before the officer authorised by law to witness that document type.
- Collect the finished set and keep a copy for the next filing.
Fees and processing times are set by each authority and vary by document and destination — confirm them with the responsible agency.
Handling it yourself vs letting iLC run it
| Aspect | Doing it yourself | With iLC |
|---|---|---|
| Working out which steps apply | You read each authority's rules yourself, and usually learn a step was missing only after the bundle is refused. | Our advisers review the documents before work starts and sequence translation, notarisation, MFA, and embassy in one pass. |
| Time spent filing | Repeat trips to each office, queueing and collecting in person. | We file on your behalf; you send scans and receive the finished set by post or courier. |
| Risk that the translation is refused | Agency names, job titles, and the certification wording often do not match what the receiving office accepts. | We use terminology and certificate formats the receiving authority has accepted before, with two-stage proof-reading. |
| If the bundle is rejected | You diagnose the cause and refile yourself, losing a full cycle. | We identify the cause, correct it, and refile without you starting over, with progress reported along the way. |
What clients typically use this for
- Legal status verification
- Court and enforcement files
- Regulatory compliance filings
Support continues after delivery
Document work rarely ends with one submission: the receiving authority may request more, or you may need to file again next year. We keep a digital copy set and a record of the certification route used for every job, so the next round starts from the right point, and you can consult us when the destination changes its requirements. Handled by a team with more than 15 years of experience.

- Guidance when the destination requests additional documents later.
