Translator-certified vs. Notary-certified translation

Translator-certified translation is signed by the translator themselves — sufficient for less formal use such as some educational institutions. Notary-certified translation carries greater legal weight because a third-party attorney verifies that ‘this translator is real, registered, and signed before me’ — required by embassies and foreign governments demanding higher assurance.

Languages we translate and notarize

Major: English, Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese), Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic. Asian: Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, Khmer, Lao, Burmese, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is a Thai Notary Public different from a foreign Notary Public?

In Thailand, the Notary Public role is performed by ‘Notarial Services Attorneys’ licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand. Their certifications are valid abroad once further attested by the MFA Department of Consular Affairs and the destination embassy.

How long does the process take?

Typically 30–60 minutes per document set when booked in advance. MFA legalization adds 1–3 working days.

Can the notarized document be used abroad immediately?

Most overseas use requires three steps: (1) Notary by attorney (2) MFA legalization (3) Destination embassy attestation. We handle all three.

What is the starting fee, and are there additional costs?

Notary by attorney starts at THB 1,500 per document set. MFA legalization adds THB 200–800 government fee and THB 2,500–5,000 service fee per applicant for filing.

How can clients outside Bangkok or abroad use this service?

We deliver nationwide and worldwide. Domestic clients can ship documents by post; international clients can use international courier, with video-verified identity where permitted by law.

Where in Bangkok can I use the certified translation service?

We cover all 50 Bangkok districts including Silom, Sathorn, Asok, Phrom Phong, Thonglor, Ekkamai, Rama 9, Ratchada, Lat Phrao, and every BTS/MRT/ARL station, with on-site visits available.

Service-specific FAQ

Can I use Google Translate?

No — embassies and foreign universities reject machine translation. Must be by registered translator + notarised.

Do you need the original?

Not for translation — clear scan is fine. Only needed if you also want a Certified True Copy of the original.

How many characters in '1 page'?

250 words or 1,800 characters per page (international standard). Short docs (e.g. birth certificate) always count as 1 page.

What if immigration rejects the translation?

Accuracy guarantee — if rejected for translation error we revise free of charge; 50% refund if unfixable.

Are your translators really Australian NAATI?

Yes — we have NAATI Level 3 (Certified Translator) for EN-TH/TH-EN and NAATI Level 2 for others. Verify IDs at naati.com.au.

Supplemental Q&A from the 2026 SEO brief (this service)

What is the difference between Notarized Translation and Certified Translation?

A Certified Translation is signed off by the translator. A Notarized Translation adds a Notary Public attestation of the translator's identity and signature — usually required when the translation is sent abroad and must be MFA-legalized or Apostilled.

Can you notarize Japanese, Korean, or Chinese translations here?

Yes. We work with Thai↔JA/KO/ZH translators registered with the Lawyers Council and each embassy. Full Notary + MFA + embassy chain typically takes 5-7 business days.

How do I get a 'Sworn Translation' for Spain / Germany / France?

Some EU states require a locally sworn translator (Traductor Jurado / Übersetzer / Traducteur Assermenté). We translate + Notary + Apostille (Thailand acceded 28 Feb 2027); if the destination mandates a locally sworn translator, our partner network in-country handles the final leg on arrival.

How long / how much for certified degree & transcript translation?

Degree: 1-2 business days. Transcript: 2-3 business days (page count dependent). Translation + Notary from ฿1,500 per document; add ฿1,200 for MFA/Apostille + embassy fee if applicable.
