Certified Translator Required
Certified Translator Required
To register my daughter at the UK embassy in BKK, they need a certified translation of her birth certificate.
Does anyone know such a translator in HH ?
Many Thanks

Had to do this for our son, now again for the second one in a couple of weeks. We used the law office "Siam Firm" I think its called, Somsak Chopaka was the lawyer.
Address is 13/59 Hua Hin Soi 47/1, Petchkasem Rd - Tel: 032-531508.
Wasnt cheap but accepted by the embassy which was the main thing.

We use Somsak for a number of things and are very happy with his service in matters regarding our business activities .
For My marriage and divorce to an English lady I used translation services from one of the offices close to the junction of Sukhumvit and wireless road .100 Baht per A4 sheet pure translation ,always accepted without question by the embassy .Many of my staff and friends have used these offices for visa,marriage etc.
If you wish to avoid waiting around in government offices then there will be fees on top for the service .They will ,however, deliver all paperwork to your home or hotel afterwards and get you to the front of the line at government offices with all paperwork pre prepared before your arrival .Well worth paying for if you do not live in Bangkok .Our Marriage cost a totally hassle free 5000 Bht .Our divorce 2 years later was free .
How's that for a limited warranty agreement ?

translator certificate
MY Thai Atty advised me that altho0ugh she is a certified translator haveing a law lic doesn't carte balnce pass you on. I used a translator in BKK obn the same block as the U.S. Embassy and it was the wife of a certifed translator who kept looking into English to Thai dictionary for the correct words. tha was for a simple U.S. drivers Lic that had to be, at that time translate as I hear now english versions need not get translated...
Well, short of the story was the apparently there is some official stamp that is issued to the translator and only to them. Well, I had to wait for 30 min while a moto taxi guy delivered the stamp... That of her husbands unless her first name was Boongsong.....NOT.
Beware. I have already had some doc done at my lawyers office and had a girl who had a degree in English read the Thai translation back to me and it was spot on......
As with all in LOS, beware

P & A Notary needed 10 days which I thought was a long time.HHTel wrote:Extremely expensive, Jimmy. P & A Notary - 450baht including being notarised.
Anyway gonna get it done near the UK embassy.
Where did you guys get your passport photos done for the little ones as I went into the Kodak shop on the main drag (Upstairs lab) and the document from the embassy regarding the photos. 45*35 cream/off white background. no watermarks etc they said they couldn't do. Was I bein g too technical as I know what the bloody embassy can be like!
I printed off the embassy rule book on photo dimensions and took it to the Kodak shop near the Subamitra hotel who produced exactly what we needed!
Will need to do the whole lot again next month
