A Korean client based in Los Angeles, United States needed a Thai company affidavit accepted for a cross-border estate matter in China. We handled the full certification chain end to end.
The client engaged us by email from overseas. Our first step was a document review against the receiving authority's current checklist for China, 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 Work Permit & Business Visa Documents 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
a document-set review against the receiving authority's current checklist
translation by a translator the receiving authority accepts
certification by a Thai Notarial Services Attorney
legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs
attestation at the destination embassy in Bangkok
Complication and resolution
Complication encountered: dates were in the Thai Buddhist era while the destination required Gregorian dates.
How it was resolved: the translation converted the years with an explanatory footnote so the original remains auditable.
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.
