In-Depth Guide: GED / Equivalency Certificate Translation (EDU-GED)

GED / Equivalency Certificate Translation is delivered under ILC's Certified Translation of Thai Academic Records practice, combining MoJ-certified translation, MFA legalization, embassy liaison, and Thai government filing under one project manager. Every case is handled by a NAATI-accredited translator, a Thai Notarial Services Attorney, and a dedicated case coordinator.

Thai academic credentials — high-school certificates (Por 6, GPAX), Bachelor / Master / Doctorate degrees, official transcripts, professional diplomas, syllabi, and student visas — are the foundation of overseas admissions, credential recognition and licensing. ILC produces certified translations aligned with the specific format each destination accepts: WES (Canada / USA), NARIC / UK ENIC (United Kingdom), VETASSESS / TRA (Australia), IQAS (Alberta), ICAS, IES, and Ministry-level equivalency bodies. Every translation cites the Ministry of Education issuance number, campus name in bilingual form, cumulative GPA calculation method, and includes the university seal specimen sheet where applicable. Turnaround is typically 2 working days for translation plus MFA legalization, with rush 24-hour service available for admissions deadlines.

Why choose ILC for GED / Equivalency Certificate Translation

With more than 15 years of practice, ILC covers every embassy in Bangkok and both MFA offices (Chaengwattana and Chiang Mai). We operate a two-tier QA review and refund the service fee if a document is rejected due to a defect in our translation or certification — government fees and officer discretion excluded.

FAQs about GED / Equivalency Certificate Translation

คำถามที่พบบ่อย

Many do for initial evaluation; sealed hardcopies are required at enrolment.

Can I request GPA conversion?

Yes to 4.0 / 100 / ECTS scales; evaluators still apply their own methodology.

Yes, provided they are sent directly by the issuing institution or ILC as authorised intermediary.

How long is a translated transcript valid?

The translation itself does not expire; the underlying institution seal must remain verifiable.

A working guide to Education Transcripts in Thailand

Education Transcripts is one of the pillar services delivered by our firm — a Bangkok legal-language practice operating since 2004 with in-house certified translators, Lawyers Council of Thailand notarial services attorneys, Ministry of Justice court-listed translators, and licensed visa consultants working under one roof. Every Education Transcripts matter is scoped by a senior specialist on LINE Official @NAATI or by email at ilc@thainotary.co.th before any file moves.

How the workflow runs end-to-end

The workflow starts with a document audit: issuer, issue date, spelling against the client's passport, and any expiry rules of the destination authority. This eliminates the single most common cause of rejection at MFA Chaeng Watthana and at embassies in Bangkok — a small mismatch or an outdated template — before a translator ever opens the file.

Who this service is for

The service routinely supports six client profiles: individual foreign nationals arriving for work, study, retirement, marriage, or LTR/Smart investor visas; Thai citizens travelling abroad and needing documents recognised in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Schengen area, Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore, UAE, Saudi Arabia, or India; HR departments of multinationals handling Non-B and BOI work permits; law firms handling M&A, IP portfolios, or cross-border litigation; educational institutions preparing credential packs for foreign universities; and embassies or international organisations on framework contracts.

Coverage, fees, and turnaround

We serve all 77 provinces of Thailand via nationwide courier: next-day pickup from Bangkok metro and 1–3 day pickup from Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Khon Kaen, Udon Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Rayong, Chonburi, Phuket, Krabi, Songkhla, and Hat Yai. Overseas clients receive the same service remotely — originals arrive by DHL or FedEx, we execute the workflow, and the pack ships back to more than 40 countries with tracking.

Quality assurance and confidentiality

Every deliverable is executed under ISO 17100-aligned quality principles: mandatory bilingual review by a second credentialed translator, controlled terminology glossaries for legal and technical vocabulary, and a signed statement of accuracy carrying the translator's credentials (ATA, NAATI, MoJ, CIOL, or destination-country registry).
