Replacing lost academic records through an ECE evaluation — how do you prepare?

The point raised here is “Replacing lost academic records through an ECE evaluation”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. The terms that frame this page are Replacing · lost · academic · records. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. Before starting, ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures. After certification, scan the full set before it leaves your hands. 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. The name on the qualification must match the passport used in the application. If you changed a given name or surname, married or divorced, or the romanisation on the certificate differs from the passport, prepare the linking evidence — the official name-change certificate, marriage registration or divorce registration — translated and certified together with the academic set, so the file is not returned for a name mismatch. If the records are lost, ask the issuing institution's registrar to reissue them first — evaluation bodies accept only institution-certified records. If the institution has closed or merged, ask the supervising body which office now holds the register: the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation for higher education, or the local education service area office for school-level records. ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators) is a member of NACES, the association of U.S. evaluation services. Its reports are used by institutions and licensing boards, and are issued either as a document-level report or as a course-by-course report showing converted credits and grades per subject. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving evaluation body sets, so every file is quoted before work starts.
