Submitting a trademark application and goods/services list in Australia — how must it be translated and certified?

The subject of this page is “Submitting a trademark application and goods/services list in Australia”, so it covers both the requirements attached to this document set and the order the steps must follow. Once the set is complete, check it line by line against the destination's own checklist before filing. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. Before starting, check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps. The specifics here are document type: Tmapp; destination: Au, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · trademark · application · goods/services. Thai intellectual-property documents used abroad follow this order: a complete translation, signature certification by a notarial services attorney where the receiver requires it, certification by the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then the destination embassy or consulate where required. Confirm the order with the receiving party first — skipping one step means starting again. Australian authorities, including IP Australia, require non-English documents to carry a translation by a NAATI-certified translator with the certification block, practitioner number and date. Supply high-resolution scans of every page, including pages with seals and renewal endorsements. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so no Apostille is issued for Thai documents. If the receiving party asks for one, explain that Thailand uses Department of Consular Affairs plus embassy legalisation instead, and get written confirmation from the receiver before proceeding. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how technical the text is and the certification steps required, so every file is quoted before work starts. Send scans of every page together with the written requirements from the Department of Intellectual Property, the receiving agent or the requesting authority via LINE @NAATI, call +66 80-557-8887 or email ilc@thainotary.co.th.
