The Thai National ID Card is a personal / civil-registration document. Most common uses: Identity verification · Banking abroad · Notarized true copies

Typically about 1 page(s), but we always count the actual pages of your copy.

Usually not, unless the receiving authority specifically asks for it.

Generally not required — always check the receiving authority's rules first.

certified translation only (some receiving bodies accept it without consular legalization — always confirm first)

Most overseas authorities prefer a passport rather than an ID card; however a notarized translated copy is sometimes required for property purchase abroad.

It must match the passport letter-for-letter; mismatches are a leading cause of rejection. We cross-check before submitting for legalization.

Translation can start from a clear scan or photo, but consular/embassy legalization requires the original or a copy certified by the issuing office.

Thai documents themselves rarely expire, but receiving authorities commonly require the document (or its legalized set) to be recent — often within 3–6 months. Plan the timing so it is still fresh on submission day.

Send a photo or scan via LINE or email with the destination country/authority and your submission date.
