Submitting severance payment records and receipts in Australia — how must it be translated and certified?

The point raised here is “Submitting severance payment records and receipts in Australia”, so it separates what is specific to this file from the standard certification chain. The specifics here are document type: Severance; destination: Au, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · severance · payment · records. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. Before starting, check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. After certification, scan the full set before it leaves your hands. A Thai labour document intended for use abroad is normally translated into the target language, then submitted for certification of the translation to the Legalisation Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards to the embassy or consulate of the destination country where that country requires it. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalisation for foreign public documents, so no Apostille is issued for Thai documents. Australian bodies — the Department of Home Affairs, skills assessing authorities, employers and courts — require non-English documents to carry a translation certified by a NAATI-certified translator. The translation must show the translator's name, certification number, language direction and a statement of accuracy, and must cover every page including stamps and signatures on the original. Thailand has no common-law notary public. Certification of signatures, true copies or affidavits for overseas use is performed by a Notarial Services Attorney registered under the rules of the Lawyers Council of Thailand. In labour files the documents most often signature-certified are powers of attorney, self-declarations and statements filed with foreign authorities. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
