Dentist License — NAATI translation (Australia / New Zealand)
Thai national based in Suphan Buri. Main document: Dentist License. Context: the translation had to carry the translator's certification stamp and statement.
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 Home Affairs and other Australian agencies, for onward use in Belgium
- point handled along the way: the destination requested a different translation language than originally planned
- Belgium 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. 1–5 business days, subject to each agency's queue).
