Documents usually required
- Freshly issued original Thai civil or corporate record from the issuing office
- Complete English translation of every page, with the translator's statement of accuracy
- Copy of the document holder's passport or Thai national ID card
- Power of attorney with ID copies of both parties if someone else files on your behalf
Common reasons a bundle is rejected
- Countries outside the Apostille Convention still need a further endorsement at the destination embassy.
- Translations that use an unofficial English name for a Thai agency are sent back for correction.
- Spell every name exactly as it appears in the passport, across every document in the same bundle.
Prefer not to handle the chain yourself? Send the scans and we run every step for you, from translation to the final endorsement.

Talk to us before you commit to anything
Many clients arrive with one set of documents while the destination expects a different one. We start by asking where you are filing, for what purpose, and by when — then tell you plainly what is required, including the steps you can complete yourself at no extra cost. A team with over 15 years in cross-border documentation is available before you spend time on the wrong route.
- Destination requirements explained in plain language.
- A clear statement of which steps your case needs and which it does not.
- Help sequencing multiple documents across multiple authorities.
