A Vietnamese client based in Berlin, Germany needed a Thai medical certificate accepted for an overseas driving licence conversion in Switzerland. We handled the full certification chain end to end.
The client was introduced through their employer's HR team. Our first step was a document review against the receiving authority's current checklist for Switzerland, because acceptance rules differ by authority and are revised regularly. We confirmed which certification layers were genuinely required before any work started, so nothing unnecessary was paid for.
Under our MFA / Consular Legalisation workflow we then completed each required layer in the correct order. Order matters: a translation certified before the underlying record is re-issued, or an embassy attestation attempted before Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalisation, is routinely rejected and has to be repeated.
Before hand-over we checked names, dates, spellings against the passport, seal placement and page numbering, and delivered the completed set by tracked courier or in person at our Lat Phrao office in Bangkok.
What we handled
legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs
translation by a translator the receiving authority accepts
obtaining certified civil-registry copies from the district office
certification by a Thai Notarial Services Attorney
attestation at the destination embassy in Bangkok
Complication and resolution
Complication encountered: a previous translation from elsewhere had been rejected.
How it was resolved: we identified the reason for the rejection and re-issued the translation in the required format with a compliant translator's certificate.
This is an illustrative scenario representing the type of work we handle. It is not a record of an identifiable client and is not a customer review. Requirements change — always confirm the current checklist with the receiving authority.
