Legalize Degree Certificate for use in Republic of the Congo

The Degree Certificate is a academic document issued by a Thai authority. When presented in Republic of the Congo, the receiving officer needs proof that both the document and the signing officer's seal are authentic. This process is called legalization — not just translation, but a chain of seals, signatures and consular attestation.

For Republic of the Congo: the file must pass through the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand. An embassy step may not be required if the destination accepts MFA-only or Apostille. We re-check destination requirements every two weeks to stay ahead of policy changes.

Step 1 — Source document: the Degree Certificate must be an original issued within 1 year. Photocopies must be re-certified at the district office.

Step 2 — Certified translation: our MOJ-registered and NAATI-credentialed translators render it into English or the local language of Republic of the Congo, with the translator's stamp and certification. Turnaround: 1–2 business days. From 700 THB.

Step 3 — MFA legalization: we walk the file into the Department of Consular Affairs, Chaeng Watthana, Bangkok. Government fee: 200 THB per seal (Express +600 THB). We offer a "walk-in by proxy" service so clients never need to queue. Lead time: 1–3 business days.

Step 4 — Embassy of Republic of the Congo: Republic of the Congo may waive this step if the destination accepts MFA-only or Apostille — we confirm by use-case before quoting.

1. Work permit application 2. Postgraduate admission 3. Professional registration (engineering, medicine, accounting)

Caveat: Honorifics, faculty names, and university Latin names must follow each institution's official English form. We maintain a database of ≈150 Thai universities. In addition, some authorities in Republic of the Congo may request supporting documents such as an extra original transcript or a letter from the institution. We always confirm the end-use before we begin so the chain is complete on the first attempt.

Estimated total: certified translation 700 THB + MFA 200–800 THB/seal + walk-in service 1,500–3,000 THB. Starting at roughly 4,200 THB.

Total lead time: 10–18 business days including EMS/DHL delivery to Republic of the Congo. Express channel can cut that by 30–50%.

12+ years of experience legalizing documents into 195+ countries. We maintain a Bangkok agent network that queues at MFA and embassy counters every business day so our clients never wait in line.

Our team includes licensed Notary Public attorneys, NAATI-credentialed translators, visa advisers and academic-records specialists — full coverage across every document category.

Guarantee: if your Degree Certificate is rejected in Republic of the Congo due to a legalization error on our side, we redo the chain at no charge and refund the related government fees.
