Civil Registry Document Translation Package
Short answer
This package covers birth certificates, house registration, national ID cards, marriage certificates, divorce records, single-status letters and name-change certificates. The critical work is spelling every personal and place name identically across the bundle, because authorities use these records to establish relationships and a sequence of events.
Civil registry records are often issued in different years by different offices, so romanised spellings drift apart. An inconsistent bundle is the single most common trigger for a request for further information.
What the package includes
- Full translation including seals, registrar signatures and reverse-side annotations
- One standardised spelling for each personal and place name across the bundle
- Translator notes where the original carries registrar corrections or strike-throughs
- Certification statement, signature and stamp from a certified translator
What you need to send us
- Colour scans of each record, front and back
- Passport bio pages for everyone named in the documents
- Name-change certificates, if any name has changed
- Receiving authority and purpose of the submission
How the work runs
- 1Relationship check — Confirm the bundle tells a complete sequence: marriage, divorce, name change.
- 2Fix the spelling — Anchor names to the passport and apply the same spelling everywhere.
- 3Translate and review — Translate in full, then re-verify dates and ID numbers.
- 4Certify and deliver — Issue certification and flag any legalisation step that follows.
Indicative starting ranges
- NAATI-certified translationTHB 1,500–2,500 per page
Varies with text volume, document type and language pair.
- Thai–English translationTHB 500–1,200 per page
These are indicative starting ranges. The final figure depends on text volume, document type, language pair and the number of copies, and is confirmed once we have seen your files.
What the service fee does not cover
- Requesting fresh certified copies from a district office on your behalf
- Consular legalisation and embassy fees
- Amending registry data, which only a registrar can do
Turnaround
Varies with the number of records; family bundles requiring cross-checks take longer than a single certificate.
Our advisory role
We check whether your bundle tells the whole story first. If you are lodging a marriage certificate but were previously divorced, most authorities will also ask for the divorce record, and we say so before you lodge.
Points to watch
- Freshly issued copies may romanise names differently from older ones; pick one anchor
- Many authorities limit how old a certified copy can be, so check before requesting one
- Reverse-side annotations matter; do not send the front page only
Frequently asked questions
Names are spelled differently across my documents. What now?
We anchor to the passport and add a translator note explaining the variation. Strict recipients may require correction at the registry.
Do I also need consular legalisation?
It depends on the recipient. Some accept a certified translation alone; others require legalisation and embassy attestation.
Must the whole house registration be translated?
Usually only the pages showing the householder and the applicant, unless the recipient asks for the full booklet.
