Documents to prepare
Provide the foreign original, its origin-country authentication and the Thai recipient’s instructions.
Service-specific checks
Verify the origin-country chain first, then prepare Thai translation and any required translation legalisation.
Which authentication route applies?
Verify the origin-country chain first, then prepare Thai translation and any required translation legalisation. A foreign Apostille alone does not establish acceptance in Thailand before the Convention applies between the countries; we cannot issue another country’s Apostille.
Before sending originals
Check passport spelling, all pages and seals, the recipient’s document-age rule and whether the issuer must send the record directly. Keep a copy of the recipient’s instructions. Avoid sending unrelated sensitive records in the first enquiry.
Fees and authority queues
Service fees depend on document type, translation language, volume and the confirmed route. Government, embassy and courier charges are separate items in the written quote. Authority queues and requests for corrections affect timing; confirm an estimate for the actual file.
Limits of certification
A foreign Apostille alone does not establish acceptance in Thailand before the Convention applies between the countries; we cannot issue another country’s Apostille.

Questions before filing
Does certification guarantee acceptance?
A foreign Apostille alone does not establish acceptance in Thailand before the Convention applies between the countries; we cannot issue another country’s Apostille. No. Authentication verifies a relevant signature or seal, not document contents or eligibility. The receiving authority decides acceptance and may request further evidence.
Can I complete everything by courier?
Not always. Sending scans can help with preliminary review, but signature witnessing requires the signatory’s appearance as required. Original comparison and recipient rules may require original documents. Confirm before posting.
