A certified translation for official use in Thailand is a complete rendering of the source document together with a signed statement from the translator or translation provider confirming accuracy. When the document is destined for a foreign authority, the translation is normally certified, then legalized by the Department of Consular Affairs of the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and finally endorsed by the embassy of the receiving country when that country is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Requirements differ by receiving authority, so the accepted language pair, certification wording, and legalization chain should be confirmed before translation begins.
A certified translation carries a signed declaration from the translator or agency stating that the translation is a true and complete rendering of the original, together with contact details that allow the receiving authority to verify it. Some authorities additionally require the translator's signature to be notarized or the translation to be legalized by the Department of Consular Affairs.
The Department of Consular Affairs generally legalizes documents in Thai and English. Documents in other languages are commonly translated into Thai or English first, and the other-language version is handled by the relevant embassy. Confirm the current practice with the Department of Consular Affairs before scheduling.
Thailand joined the Hague Apostille Convention, so documents going to member states can follow the apostille route, while documents for non-member states still follow the consular legalization chain. The receiving authority decides which route it accepts.
No. NAATI is the Australian accreditation body, and Australian authorities generally expect a NAATI-certified translation. Thai government offices accept translations certified under Thai practice and legalized by the Department of Consular Affairs. Documents moving between the two systems may need both.
Legalization is normally performed on an original document or on a true copy certified by the issuing authority. Plain photocopies are frequently rejected. Check whether the issuing office can supply an additional original before starting the process.
Timing depends on the issuing office, the language pair, and the queue at the Department of Consular Affairs and any embassy involved, so the chain should be planned as a sequence of steps rather than a single turnaround. Ask for a step-by-step schedule for your specific document and destination.
Inconsistent transliteration of names is one of the most common reasons files are returned. Provide the spelling exactly as it appears in the passport or on previously accepted documents so that every translation in the file matches.
Global Translation Hub EN can involve different document checks depending on the receiving authority. Confirm the intended use and destination before arranging translation, a notarial signature, or consular legalization. For a review of your specific Global Translation Hub EN matter, contact us on LINE @THAIL or by email at Contact@thailaw-accounting.co.th.
First identify the issuing authority, the person signing, the destination and the receiving body's current requirements. The necessary steps may include translation, certification or consular legalization, but not every document needs every step. Confirm the sequence before sending originals.
Individuals and businesses may need different supporting documents. Share the document type, destination and receiving authority so the applicable route can be checked for your matter; requirements can change without notice.
Our offices are in Bangkok (Lat Phrao 95) and Khon Kaen. For other locations we can discuss remote document intake and coordination with partners where available. Fees and timing depend on the document, destination and relevant authorities; ask for an individual quote.
Check names, dates, document versions and the receiving authority's instructions before filing. Acceptance is decided by the receiving authority; ask the team which evidence and original documents are required in your case.

| 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. |
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.
