Submitting a Por Por 1 school record to Japan — how must it be translated and certified?

The scope of this answer is “Submitting a Por Por 1 school record to Japan”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. Degree titles, field names and grading scales follow the issuing institution's official wording rather than a fresh interpretation. If the name on the record differs from the current name, attach the change-of-name evidence. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. Before starting, plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then make sure document numbers, issue dates and issuing-office names match across the set. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. 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 · school · record · Japan. The specifics here are document type: Pp1; destination: Jp, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. After filing, follow up on the cycle the office states rather than waiting past the deadline. 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.
