- Client profile
- Thai national living overseas · relies on a relative in Thailand acting under a power of attorney · Location: Belgium (coordinated with Loei)
- Services used
- intellectual property work + NAATI certified translation + family law (marriage, divorce, children)
- Challenge
- The signatory was in a different province from the filing office — the task was to make this set usable by the receiving authority in Belgium in the required format.
- What we did
- have a second reviewer proofread the translation independently of the translator
- draft a power of attorney that covers every step to be handled on the client's behalf
- prepare the translation using the official names the authorities themselves use
- compare the spelling of names against the passport and the main reference documents
- Outcome and indicative timeline
- the risk points were corrected before filing, which reduced the number of revision rounds · more than one working week because several certification layers follow one another
- What mattered most to the client
- plain-language reasons for each step in the chain
