Starting a WES evaluation from Surat Thani — which documents come first?

This question is specifically about “Starting a WES evaluation from Surat Thani”, so it separates what is specific to this file from the standard certification chain. The condition most often overlooked is that name spelling must match across every document in the set. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. Before starting, check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps. The specifics here are location: Suratthani, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Starting · evaluation · Surat · Thani. Once the set is complete, check it line by line against the destination's own checklist before filing. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. 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. 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. 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.
