Knowledge Box: Using Overseas Documents in Thailand
For a birth certificate or any other document issued overseas, please note that it must first be legalized by the relevant authorities in your country, such as a Notary Public or the MFA, and then by the Thai Embassy in that country before it can be used in Thailand.
For any documents that are not in English, they must first be translated into English and legalized by the relevant authorities, including a Notary Public, the MFA, and the Thai Embassy in your country.
After that, we can translate the documents into Thai and submit them to the MFA in Thailand for legalization. Once completed, the documents can be used in Thailand.
Workflow: Send, Translate, Review, Deliver
From first scan to certified copy, this is how the birth certificate translation process works.
Send Your Document
Send a clear photo or scan of your birth certificate through the quote form, WhatsApp, LINE, or email. A phone photo is fine if all details are readable.
Quote & Confirmation
We confirm the price, turnaround time, and whether official document legalization is likely to be needed. Most quotes are sent within 2-4 hours during business hours.
Translation & Second-Reviewer QA
A qualified translator prepares the document, including names, dates, registration numbers, and official stamps. A second linguist reviews the translation before certification, including rush jobs.
Certification & Delivery
We add the certification statement, company seal, and translator signature. Digital copies are sent by email; hard copies are available when required.

Birth Certificate Translation: Questions on Cost, Turnaround, and Acceptance
- Will embassies accept your birth certificate translations? +
Our certified document translations are prepared for embassy use in Thailand, including US, UK, Australian, Chinese, Japanese, and European submissions. Requirements vary, so if MFA legalization is needed, we will flag it during the quote process.
- How long does birth certificate translation take? +
Standard Thai ↔ English birth certificate translations are usually delivered within 24 hours. Other language pairs typically take 1-2 business days. Same-day rush may be available at rush rates. MFA legalization adds about 3-5 business days.
- Do I need MFA legalization for my birth certificate? +
It depends on the use. For Thai marriage registration with a foreign birth certificate, MFA legalization is often required. For many visa applications, certified translation may be enough. Tell us where you will submit it and we will check the likely requirement.
- Can you translate a Thai birth certificate for a child born to foreign parents? +
This is common for foreign parents registering a Thai-born child with an embassy. We translate the Thai birth document into English or the language requested, with certification.
- My birth certificate was amended for a name change - can you translate it? +
We translate birth certificates that include amendments for name changes, corrections, or updates. Original and amended details are included. If you also need the name change certificate translated, ask for package pricing.
- I need multiple birth certificates translated for my family - discount? +
We quote family document sets together where possible. Birth certificates, civil documents, and related family papers submitted at the same time can usually be priced more efficiently.
