A medium-of-instruction letter — what should you know about certified copies and powers of attorney?

What the enquirer needs to know is “A medium-of-instruction letter”, so it flags what usually causes documents like this to be rejected before summarising the general practice. 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. Education files normally pair a transcript with a qualification certificate, and institutions check both together. If the name on the record differs from the current name, attach the change-of-name evidence. The specifics here are document type: Medium, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are medium-of-instruction · letter · know · certified. 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. 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. After certification, scan the full set before it leaves your hands. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. Where the destination asks for a certified true copy of an educational record, or a power of attorney authorising someone to file on the applicant's behalf, a Notarial Services Attorney licensed under the Lawyers Council of Thailand's regulations can certify it before the document enters the Ministry of Foreign Affairs step. A Thai educational document intended for overseas use is normally translated into the language the destination requires, then legalised by the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and where the destination requires it, further legalised by that country's embassy or consulate. ILC handles document work only — translation, certification of the translation, notarial signature certification and the legalisation run at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies. ILC is not an educational institution or a credential-evaluation body and cannot guarantee recognition or admission. Cost and lead time depend on page count, language pair and the certification steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
