Why must the name in the translation match the passport exactly?

The scope of this answer is “Why must the name in the translation match the passport exactly”, so it covers both the requirements attached to this document set and the order the steps must follow. Marital status certificates support spousal pension rights and must be the latest issue. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. Status confirmation forms must be signed in front of the certifying officer, never in advance. A power of attorney to collect payments must state its scope and duration explicitly. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The terms that frame this page are name · translation · match · passport. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. Before starting, count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page. After filing, follow up on the cycle the office states rather than waiting past the deadline. Names in the translation must match the passport letter for letter and match the name held on the pension institution's file — the single most common reason a file is returned. Where a name changed on marriage or divorce, attach the change-of-name evidence so every document links to one person. The pension reference number, date of birth and bank account details must also agree across the whole set. Thai civil-status facts — birth, marriage, divorce, death and change of name — are evidenced by documents issued under the Civil Registration Act B.E. 2534 through the district registrar. These are what a foreign pension institution relies on to prove a relationship in a survivors' claim, so request a freshly certified extract before translation: many institutions set a maximum age for the document counted from its issue date. ILC provides document work and coordination only: translation, assembling the set, arranging signature certification, filing for legalisation and international despatch. ILC is not a pension adviser, not a financial adviser and not an agent of any pension institution, and guarantees no decision on entitlement or amount. Entitlement and calculation rest solely with the paying institution under its own country's law. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving pension institution requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
