Birth Certificate — Apostille
Thai national based in Bangkok. Main document: Birth Certificate. Context: the destination is a Hague Convention member, so an Apostille replaced the double legalisation route.
What we handled
- reviewed the originals against the receiving authority's checklist before starting
- sequenced the certification steps around each agency's submission windows
- filed with Department of Consular Affairs (Thailand's Competent Authority), for onward use in Australia
- point handled along the way: the name spelling on an older document did not match the passport
- Australia is a Hague Convention member, so the Apostille route was the primary path
Outcome summary: the complete set was delivered within the communicated window and filed on the booked date (processing time approx. 2–7 business days, subject to each agency's queue).
Prepare next time: keep a copy of the passport bio page from the start so every document uses the same spelling
Services involved: Apostille + Certified document translation
