Submitting a Thai national identity card to Denmark — how must it be translated and certified?

The matter being asked about is “Submitting a Thai national identity card to Denmark”, so it covers both the requirements attached to this document set and the order the steps must follow. Black and red case numbers differ; cite the right one throughout the translation. Hearing minutes evidence case status, so obtain the latest version before certifying. The specifics here are document type: Id; destination: Dk, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · Thai · national · identity. The common failure in this group of cases is a translation that does not match the certification type required. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. Before starting, confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation, then check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. Public holidays and embassy closures move certification queues more than most people expect. Record the reference number of each certification layer; it is the fastest way to trace status. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. If the issuing district office has been merged, obtain a clarification letter from the successor office. The registrar's seal must be legible on the copy being certified or the destination may refuse it. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. A Thai civil registration document for overseas use is normally translated into the language the destination requires, then legalised by the Legalisation Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and where required further legalised by the destination country's embassy or consulate. Most receiving authorities want a registrar-certified copy of the register rather than a photocopy made by the holder, because the certified copy carries the registrar's signature and seal that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can verify; obtain a freshly issued certified copy before starting the translation and legalisation steps. Thailand deposited its instrument of accession to the Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026, but the Convention is not yet in force for Thailand, so consular legalisation through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the relevant embassy remains the working route; confirm the current requirement with the receiving authority before filing. Cost and lead time depend on the number of documents, the language pair and the certification steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
