Why use iLC from Chiang Mai

CID is centralised in Bangkok, so applicants outside the capital must either travel 700 km or courier fingerprints — with the risk of rejection for wrong ink, wrong form, or missing endorsements. iLC removes this friction: authorised filing, status tracking, official pickup, and immediate hand-off into translation and MFA legalization the same day CID releases the certificate.

Embassy attestation for the destination country
Certified translation in EN, DE, FR, JA, KO, ZH and 30+ other languages

Prefer not to handle the chain yourself? Send the scans and we run every step for you, from translation to the final endorsement.

How the process runs — Police clearance certificate service

Obtain a freshly issued original from the office that produced the record and check that every page is present.
Prepare a complete translation with the translator's statement of accuracy attached.
File for legalization at the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the original and the translation together.
Complete the next certification layer required by the destination country — Apostille, or legalization at that country's embassy in Thailand.
Collect the finished bundle, scan a full copy for your records, then submit it in the format the receiving authority specifies.

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.

What clients typically use this for

Visa and immigration filings
Overseas employment screening
Professional registration

An advisor, not only a document processor

Before any work starts, our team assesses how many certification layers your document actually needs, which authorities are involved, and the correct order for the office you will really file with. One step out of order usually means restarting the whole bundle. More than 15 years of cross-border document work means we recognise how each authority rejects files and prevent it up front.

The certification route is matched to the receiving authority before work begins.
Rejection risks are checked, from name spelling to document validity windows.
The filing sequence is planned around the deadline you actually have.
