Certified translation of a secondary-school record (Por Por 1) for a credential evaluation in Phuket — how does it work?

This question is specifically about “Certified translation of a secondary-school record (Por Por 1) for a credential evaluation in Phuket”, so it covers both the requirements attached to this document set and the order the steps must follow. The terms that frame this page are Certified · translation · secondary-school · record. The specifics here are document type: School; location: Phuket, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. 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. The condition most often overlooked is that name spelling must match across every document in the set. The biggest risk in cases like this is doing the certification steps out of order, which forces a restart. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. After certification, scan the full set before it leaves your hands. 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. Thailand has no common-law notary public. Signature certification, certified true copies and affidavits are performed by a Notarial Services Attorney licensed under Lawyers Council of Thailand rules. Where a foreign form says "notarised", read the certifier box first: some bodies accept a notarial attorney, others require their own embassy. A Thai-issued academic document used by a foreign body normally follows the same order: obtain the official document from the issuing institution, translate it in full including every seal and signature, then have the translation certified by the Legalisation Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and where the receiving body requires it, by that country's embassy or consulate afterwards. Thailand is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so no apostille is issued on Thai documents. 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.
