Certified Translation of Thai Police Clearance into 45+ Languages

Thai Police Clearance issued by the Criminal Records Division (CID), Royal Thai Police, is only produced in Thai. To use it abroad you need a certified translation from a translator accepted by the destination authority. ILC operates a network of MOJ-registered, NAATI-certified, EU sworn, MOFA-recognised, and ATA-member translators across 45+ languages and 80+ destinations — with seamless follow-through to MFA legalisation and embassy attestation.

Why certified translation matters

Consular Affairs Thailand only endorses translations produced by qualified translators or registered translation companies. Foreign authorities such as USCIS, UKVI, IRCC and Home Affairs Australia additionally require certified/sworn translators with formal registration. Using a general translator almost always results in rejection.

Translation only vs full legalisation chain

If the document will be used inside Thailand (e.g. filed with a foreign embassy in Bangkok without further legalisation), translation alone is sufficient. If it is destined for use abroad, the full chain is required: certified translation → MFA (Consular Affairs) → destination embassy. ILC offers both packages.

What you need to send

A colour scan of the original CID Police Clearance at ≥300 dpi plus a copy of the applicant's passport / ID. If you do not have the original, ILC can request a Certified Copy from CID on your behalf beforehand.

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.
