Frequently asked questions

Attestation rules, representatives, and common rejections

When does a document need embassy attestation as well as consular legalization?

When the destination country is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention. In that case a Thai document is first legalized by the Department of Consular Affairs, then attested by that country's embassy or consulate in Bangkok. For member countries an Apostille replaces the embassy step.

Do embassies accept documents submitted by a representative?

Practice differs by mission. Some accept lodgement by an authorised representative with a signed authorisation and copies of both parties' identity documents, others require the document holder in person, and some accept postal or appointment-only submission. Confirm with the specific mission before travelling to Bangkok.

Which language should the translation be in before attestation?

Usually the official language of the destination country, or English where the mission accepts it. Some missions require the translation to be produced by a translator on their own list. Because this is set mission by mission, confirm the accepted language and translator status before the translation is prepared.

How long is an attested document valid?

The attestation itself does not normally carry an expiry, but the receiving authority often limits how old the underlying document may be, particularly for civil registry extracts, police clearance certificates, and financial statements. Plan the chain so the document is still within that window on the day it is used.

What are the most common reasons an embassy returns a document?

Missing the prior Thai consular legalization, a name spelling that differs from the passport, a translation that omits stamps or reverse-side text, an underlying certificate issued too long ago, and incomplete copies of supporting identification. Checking these before lodgement avoids a second trip.

Can iLC handle the whole chain from translation to embassy lodgement?

Yes for the document workflow: translation, certification of the translation, legalization at the Department of Consular Affairs, and lodgement at the mission where its rules allow a representative. Each authority still applies its own timetable and discretion, so we confirm the sequence and the documents required before starting.
