Submitting an academic transcript for a WES evaluation — what translation and certification applies?

The subject of this page is “Submitting an academic transcript for a WES evaluation”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. Public holidays and embassy closures move certification queues more than most people expect. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. The next step is confirming the filing channel and the copy or file format required. The specifics here are document type: Transcript, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · academic · transcript · evaluation. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. Before starting, count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page. Not every body wants a consular layer. Some accept only documents sent directly by the institution, some require the translation to be certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and some go as far as the embassy. Read that body's own requirement before paying for a layer you may not need. WES (World Education Services) is a widely used evaluation organisation for the United States and Canada. Its core requirement is that the issuing institution sends the transcript and proof of completion directly to WES through the channel WES lists for that country, and that non-English documents are accompanied by a complete translation together with the original. An accepted translation is a complete word-for-word rendering: no summarising, no dropping the course table, credits, grades or the endnotes. It keeps the layout order of the original, renders the text of every seal and signature in place, and carries the translator's certification of accuracy at the end. Many bodies also require a copy of the original to be attached to each translated page. 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.
