Passport FAQs

What is a translated Passport used for?

The Passport is a personal / civil-registration document. Most common uses: Notarized true copies · Power of attorney overseas · Bank account opening abroad

How many pages does a Passport translation usually run to?

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

Does the Passport need MFA legalization?

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

Is destination-embassy legalization needed for the Passport?

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

What is the legalization sequence for a Passport?

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

Any specific pitfalls with the Passport?

Translation of the data page is rarely required (it is already bilingual), but a notarized certified copy is frequently requested.

Which spelling must the name on the Passport match?

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

Do you need the original Passport or is a copy enough?

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

Does a Passport expire for submission purposes?

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.

Which supporting documents should accompany the Passport?

A passport copy of the document holder, a power of attorney if we act on your behalf, and any checklist or form issued by the receiving authority.
