Workflow for "certified translation"
From live cases handled at our Silom–Sathorn office this month, the practical answer is: "Where can I find certified translation and notary services together?" is a weekly question from the certified translation segment. IVC's answer, distilled from 500+ cases in this category, lets you decide in a single paragraph.
Workflow: (1) send scans via LINE @ivisathailand for attorney review; (2) attorney confirms additional documents, quote, and timeline; (3) book signing appointment; (4) sign before the attorney, embossed seal, Certificate of Notarization issued; (5) optional MFA + destination-embassy legalization.
Documents to prepare
Minimum documents: originals of the document to be notarized + copy of your Thai ID or passport + (for corporate) affidavit of company dated within 3 months + director's ID copy.
Watch-outs: (a) sign only in the notary's presence — pre-signed documents are void; (b) verify the attorney's notarial-services registration; (c) confirm the language required by the destination authority; (d) Thai documents may need English translation before or after notarization depending on destination.
Common pitfalls
Why IVC: three in-house notarial-services attorneys + in-house MFA legalization + embassy legalization desk + professional indemnity insurance + full e-Tax invoicing + LINE support 6 days a week 9:00–20:00. 96% of first-time clients return for a second matter.
