- Client profile
- Thai national working full time in Thailand · cannot attend offices during working hours · Location: the United Kingdom (coordinated with Surat Thani)
- Services used
- certified translation + family law (marriage, divorce, children)
- Challenge
- It was unclear whether an apostille or embassy legalisation applied — the task was to make this set usable by the receiving authority in the United Kingdom in the required format.
- What we did
- compare the spelling of names against the passport and the main reference documents
- have a second reviewer proofread the translation independently of the translator
- review each original document and produce a checklist of what to fix before filing
- 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
- clear steps and knowing in advance what has to be prepared
