Legalization chain — step by step
Standard iVC workflow for Germany-bound documents:
- 1. Thai document → Apostille at Thai MFA first
- 2. Ship apostilled document to Germany
- 3. In Germany: Beeidigter Übersetzer translates the apostilled document into German — signature and stamp are the certification
- 4. Alternative: iVC produces the DE translation in Bangkok, the German Embassy legalises only for civil-status use (Beglaubigung); most authorities still require a Beeidigter Übersetzer version once in Germany
Documents we translate every week
- ▸Birth / marriage certificates for Familienzusammenführung (family reunion visa)
- ▸University degrees for anabin equivalence + Blue Card application
- ▸Handelsregisterauszug + statutes for German branch or GmbH

Do I need an Apostille from Thai MFA?
Every country on this page is a Hague Apostille member, so the Thai MFA Apostille is the main legalisation step — no legacy embassy consular chain except in narrow civil-status use where the receiving authority explicitly requires it.
How long is a certified translation valid?
Sworn / certified translations do not "expire", but downstream authorities (visa officers, civil-registry offices) usually want the underlying source document to be under 3–6 months old — translate close to the submission date.
How do I send the source files?
Colour PDF scans at 300 dpi by email, LINE, or Google Drive; or ship hard copies to our Lat Phrao 95 office.
Do you deliver nationwide and worldwide?
Yes — THB 100 EMS inside Thailand and THB 2,500 DHL/FedEx worldwide.
Do you handle the queueing at Thai MFA and the Germany Embassy?
Yes — iVC's runner team handles the full chain at Thai MFA and the Embassy of Germany on your behalf so you never queue in person.
