A police clearance certificate for a work permit file in Chonburi — how are they translated and certified?

This question is specifically about “A police clearance certificate for a work permit file in Chonburi”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. The terms that frame this page are police · clearance · certificate · work. The specifics here are document type: Police; location: Chonburi, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. 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. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. A key variable is the filing channel (in person, agent or online), which sets the copy format to prepare. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. The next step is confirming the filing channel and the copy or file format required. Foreign documents used in a work permit or incorporation file — degrees, experience letters, the parent company's certificate of incorporation, powers of attorney and passports — must be translated into Thai or English as the office requires and certified along the correct chain: certification in the country of origin, then embassy or Department of Consular Affairs legalisation as applicable. Work by foreign nationals in Thailand is governed by the Royal Decree on Managing the Work of Aliens B.E. 2560 (2017) as amended by Decree No. 2 B.E. 2561 (2018); work permits are issued by the Department of Employment, Ministry of Labour. ILC handles the document side only — certified translation, notarial signature certification and legalisation runs at the Department of Consular Affairs or an embassy. ILC is not the deciding authority and cannot guarantee an approval. Cost and lead time depend on page count, language pair and the certification steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
