Interpreting services for meetings and official appointments — why files get rejected, and how to fix it
This page lists 8 rejection causes we see in practice for interpreting services for meetings and official appointments, each with a fix that can be applied before filing. Most are caught during document review, well before the cost of re-certifying an entire set — to have our team review your scans first, contact LINE @Thainotary or call 094-8958999.
Causes and fixes
1. Book by appointment type; court and government sessions have their own protocols.
Fix: Keep this as a checklist item on the front of the file and have a second reviewer sign it off before delivery.
2. Provide reference material in advance so terminology is consistent on the day.
Fix: Confirm this requirement with the receiving authority before work starts and record the answer in the case file.
3. Spell every name exactly as it appears in the passport, across every document in the same bundle.
Fix: Keep this as a checklist item on the front of the file and have a second reviewer sign it off before delivery.
4. Never remove staples or separate pages that an authority has bound and stamped across the seam.
Fix: Confirm this requirement with the receiving authority before work starts and record the answer in the case file.
5. The intended use is never stated up front
Fix: State the receiving authority and the purpose before work begins so the correct level of certification is chosen the first time.
6. Signing in advance and only then looking for a certifier
Fix: Sign in front of the certifying officer as the procedure requires, never beforehand.
7. Incomplete scans sent for the initial review
Fix: Send every page for review first, then produce the final certified set.
8. Using a superseded form
Fix: Check the authority's current form before filling it in and note the date you checked in the file.
A review before filing costs less than re-certifying
Most rejections are not about the content of the document — they come from steps taken in the wrong order, or a format the receiving authority does not accept. Send us the scans before work starts and we will confirm the correct certification route and the full document list first.

How the process runs — Interpreting services for meetings and official appointments
- State the purpose and the receiving authority so the correct level of certification is chosen.
- Send scans of every page so completeness can be checked before work starts.
- Prepare the translation or the instrument in the format the receiving authority requires.
- Sign or certify before the officer authorised by law to witness that document type.
- Collect the finished set and keep a copy for the next filing.
Fees and processing times are set by each authority and vary by document and destination — confirm them with the responsible agency.
Handling it yourself vs letting iLC run it
| Aspect | Doing it yourself | With iLC |
|---|---|---|
| Working out which steps apply | You read each authority's rules yourself, and usually learn a step was missing only after the bundle is refused. | Our advisers review the documents before work starts and sequence translation, notarisation, MFA, and embassy in one pass. |
| Time spent filing | Repeat trips to each office, queueing and collecting in person. | We file on your behalf; you send scans and receive the finished set by post or courier. |
| Risk that the translation is refused | Agency names, job titles, and the certification wording often do not match what the receiving office accepts. | We use terminology and certificate formats the receiving authority has accepted before, with two-stage proof-reading. |
| If the bundle is rejected | You diagnose the cause and refile yourself, losing a full cycle. | We identify the cause, correct it, and refile without you starting over, with progress reported along the way. |
