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?

Do you handle the queueing at Thai MFA and the the United States Embassy?
