Birth Certificate — Certified document translation
Thai national based in Nakhon Phanom. Main document: Birth Certificate. Context: a bilingual layout was required in a single document.
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 Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs (MFA Thailand), for onward use in Belarus
- point handled along the way: the document age was close to the destination's validity limit
- Belarus 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).
