Acknowledgment of Paternity — Marriage registration and family status records
Foreign national (Australia) residing in Chachoengsao. Main document: Acknowledgment of Paternity. Context: the district office required the translated documents in a specific order.
What we handled
- communicated the turnaround as a range and gave status updates during the process
- prepared the translation and matched name transliteration to the passport
- filed with District office (Amphoe) and the relevant embassy, for onward use in Australia
- point handled along the way: the destination requested a different translation language than originally planned
- Australia is a Hague Convention member, so the Apostille route was the primary path
Outcome summary: collection was coordinated to meet the travel date notified in advance (processing time approx. 7–30 business days, subject to each agency's queue).
Prepare next time: check the destination's document validity limit before starting the first step
