Short answer
Certified Document Translation is available in all 77 Thai provinces, using the route that fits each area: an in-office appointment, a travelling team, or courier handling with a video identity check. Typically 2–5 business days; large batches or rare languages are quoted case by case. Start by sending document photos for review so no courier round or trip is wasted.
Three routes — which one fits your area
| Route | Best for | Note | Provinces |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-office appointment | Within same-day travel of one of our offices | Signatory appears in person before the attorney | 27 |
| We travel to you | Multiple signatories, or executives who cannot travel | Booked ahead; the document set is verified before we depart | 6 |
| Courier + video identity check | Provinces far from our offices | We review document photos on LINE before anything ships, so no courier round is wasted | 44 |
Documents to prepare
- High-resolution colour scans of every page, including stamps on the reverse
- The holder's passport page so one spelling of the name governs the whole batch
- The receiving authority's own instruction on the type of translation required
- A glossary of fixed terms: company name, job title, institution name
- How many sets you need, and whether they must be hard copy or digital
How the process runs
- 1.Assess the file, count pages and confirm target language and deadline
- 2.Translate with a legal-document specialist, then run a separate review pass
- 3.Lay the translation out to mirror the original's seals and tables so an officer can compare at a glance
- 4.Issue the translator's certificate of accuracy and attach it to every set
- 5.Move directly into consular or embassy legalisation when the destination requires it
Pitfalls that get work rejected
- Angled phone photos that hide document numbers and seals, forcing the whole batch to be rescanned
- Names translated differently from the passport — the single most common reason a file is returned
- Ordering too few sets, which means repeating the entire certification chain later
We say plainly which documents your destination does not actually require, so you do not pay for pages nobody reads, and which ones are worth translating now because they are usually requested later. If you would rather not handle the runaround yourself, send document photos to LINE @thainotary or call 094-8958999 — our team of 15+ years assesses the matter and manages it end to end.

Common questions about Certified Document Translation
How many provinces does Certified Document Translation cover?
All 77 Thai provinces, handled through three real delivery routes: an in-office appointment, a travelling team, or courier handling with a video identity check. Every province has its own page naming the office that covers it and the approximate travel time.
Can I complete this without travelling to Bangkok?
In most cases yes. Any matter that does not legally require the signatory to appear before the attorney can run end-to-end by courier. Where an in-person signature is required, we either book the nearest office or send the team to you.
How long does Certified Document Translation take?
Typically 2–5 business days; large batches or rare languages are quoted case by case. That window excludes inter-province transit and depends on the queue at the authorities involved at the time. We give you an assessed timeline before work begins.
What is the minimum paperwork I should prepare?
High-resolution colour scans of every page, including stamps on the reverse / The holder's passport page so one spelling of the name governs the whole batch / The receiving authority's own instruction on the type of translation required plus supporting documents required by the receiving authority. The fastest start is to send document photos to LINE @thainotary; we confirm what is missing before anything moves.
What causes work to be rejected most often?
