This page lists every service in one place, in four groups: (1) NAATI-certified translation for documents lodged with Australian authorities, (2) certification inside Thailand — legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs, certification by a Notarial Services Attorney, and embassy legalisation, (3) preparation of Thai official records such as civil registration, family registration and police clearance certificates, and (4) preparation by destination — Australian visa groups, skills assessing authorities, and Thai visas and work permits. Ask our staff about fees and turnaround by phone, LINE or email.
For documents lodged with Australian authorities such as the Department of Home Affairs, skills assessing authorities, universities and professional registration boards. Delivered online worldwide as a PDF carrying the stamp and signature of a NAATI-certified translator.
Send scans by email or LINE and receive the translation back by email — no office visit required.
Language groups supported, with notes on name transliteration and date formats for each script.
How to prepare each source document, from birth certificates and house registrations to academic transcripts.
How to verify the digital signature on a PDF and what receiving authorities look for.
A comparison of certification types so you can match the requirement of your destination.
Check scan legibility, page completeness and that names match the passport before sending.
Certification steps carried out in Thailand before a document is sent abroad. Which steps apply depends entirely on what the receiving authority asks for.
Signature certification, certified true copies and affidavits for private documents used overseas.
Certification of an official's signature and seal, or that a translation matches the original.
Thai certificates issued by the Royal Thai Police and Australian checks issued by the AFP, plus translation.
Document sets differ by the authority receiving them. These pages group requirements by destination rather than by document type.
Documents commonly requested for partner, skilled, student, visitor, family and citizenship applications.
Translation and evidence requirements published by Australian assessing bodies.
Birth, marriage, house registration, police clearance and education records prepared for overseas use.
Common questions on formats, delivery, name spelling and what authorities accept.
Start from the authority that will receive the document. Australian authorities normally ask for a translation by a NAATI-certified translator. Thai authorities and some embassies ask for legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs. Private documents such as powers of attorney usually need a Notarial Services Attorney. If you are unsure, send us the request in writing from the authority and we will map the steps.
NAATI translation is fully online: you send scans and receive a signed PDF by email. Steps that require a physical original — legalisation, embassy certification, or attorney certification — need the paper document, which can be handled by an authorised representative in Thailand.
Fees depend on document type, number of pages, language pair and turnaround. Contact us by phone, LINE or email with the scans and we will quote before any work begins. Government fees are those published by the relevant authority at the time of lodgement.
No. We are responsible for the accuracy and format of translations and for guiding the certification chain. Decisions on visas, registration and qualification assessment rest solely with the receiving authority.

Certified translation for Australian bodies, notarial certification through a licensed Thai lawyer, Thai consular and embassy legalisation, Apostille routing for documents issued in Convention countries, and interpreting. Each step is confirmed in writing before it begins.
That is set by the receiving body, not by us. Send us the instruction you were given — the portal screenshot or checklist — and we map it to the steps required, so you do not pay for authentication you do not need.
Some can. Translation of documents already legalised can start while other originals are still with a government office. Steps that must reflect a later stamp have to wait for that stamp.
No. We are not a registered migration agent (OMARA) and not a law firm. We explain document requirements and point to the responsible authority's published rules.

If you would rather not track each step yourself, send scans on LINE.

“Certification” covers several different things in Thailand. This table separates what each one certifies, who signs it, and which destination it suits.
| Option | What it certifies | Issued or signed by | When to use | Limits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NAATI-certified translation | A translation signed by a NAATI-certified translator with a stamp or digital certification showing the practitioner number | NAATI-certified translator (Australia) | Submissions to Australian authorities: Department of Home Affairs, skills assessing authorities, universities, state agencies | Certifies the translation only — not that the source document is genuine, and it is not Thai consular legalisation |
| Certified translation by a Thai translator | A translation with the translator's or agency's certificate of accuracy | Translator or translation company in Thailand | Domestic use, or as the base document before MFA legalisation in Thailand | Many Australian authorities will not accept it unless the translator is NAATI-certified |
| Notarial certification (Thai Notarial Services Attorney) | Certification of a signature, or that a copy is a true copy of the original | Notarial Services Attorney admitted in Thailand | Powers of attorney, affidavits, child travel consents, company documents, certified copies for overseas use | Does not certify that the content is true and does not replace a NAATI translation |
| Legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs | Certification of the signature of the issuing officer or of the certifying translator | Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand | The destination requires Thai documents to pass through the MFA before the embassy step | Certifies signatures, not content, and it is not an Apostille |
| Embassy or consulate certification | The final link in the legalisation chain, applied by the destination country's mission | Embassy or consulate of the destination country | The destination country still requires a further certification after MFA legalisation | Each mission sets its own document list and queue; always check that mission's current notice |
| Apostille | Certification under the Apostille Convention that replaces multi-layer legalisation between contracting parties | The competent authority of the country that issued the document | A document from one contracting party used in another contracting party | For Thai documents the Convention enters into force on 28 February 2027 (source: HCCH); until then the MFA + embassy chain still applies |
If you are unsure where your document chain should stop, send scans and the name of the receiving authority on LINE. Our advisory team, with more than 15 years on this type of work, will map the route first so you do not pay for steps you never needed.
