Birth Certificate — Apostille
Thai national based in Kamphaeng Phet. Main document: Birth Certificate. Context: an earlier filing was rejected for wrong sequencing, so the chain was restarted correctly.
What we handled
- sent draft files for review before issuing the final hard copies
- communicated the turnaround as a range and gave status updates during the process
- filed with Department of Consular Affairs (Thailand's Competent Authority), for onward use in Austria
- point handled along the way: some scanned pages were unclear, so the document number could not be read
- Austria is a Hague Convention member, so the Apostille route was the primary path
Outcome summary: the matter was closed in a single round, avoiding repeat trips for the applicant (processing time approx. 2–7 business days, subject to each agency's queue).
