Submitting a letter of graduation to France — how must it be translated and certified?

The issue to settle here is “Submitting a letter of graduation to France”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. Before starting, make sure document numbers, issue dates and issuing-office names match across the set, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline. A key variable is the filing channel (in person, agent or online), which sets the copy format to prepare. The biggest risk in cases like this is doing the certification steps out of order, which forces a restart. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · letter · graduation · France. The specifics here are document type: Graduation; destination: Fr, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. Prepare at least one spare certified set, since applications usually go to several institutions at once. Degree titles, field names and grading scales follow the issuing institution's official wording rather than a fresh interpretation. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. Record the reference number of each certification layer; it is the fastest way to trace status. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. 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. Many credential-evaluation bodies require the institution itself to send documents in a sealed envelope or through the institution's own electronic channel; an applicant or translator copy is not accepted as a substitute, so the body's own handbook must be read before translation is ordered. Thailand deposited its instrument of accession to the Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026, but the Convention is not yet in force for Thailand, so consular legalisation through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the relevant embassy remains the working route; always confirm the current requirement with the receiving authority before filing. 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.
