Medical & health — document list, workflow and cautions

Medical certificates have short validity and often lapse before lodgement. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Time issuance close to the lodgement date with room for certification. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Clinical terminology must retain reference ranges and units exactly. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Use translators who preserve clinical terms, ranges and units before certification. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Trade and generic vaccine names differ across jurisdictions. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: State both generic and trade names in the certified translation. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

The records run to many pages and include hard-to-read clinician handwriting. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Request a typed copy from medical records before certified translation. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Some medicines fall under the destination country's controlled lists. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Check the destination's controlled list, then prepare a supporting letter with certified translation. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Wording must match the destination professional council's prescribed form. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Base the document on the receiving body's form and certify the translation to it. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Airlines and receiving authorities set different validity windows. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Check both validity windows before issuance and certification. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Insurers require complete diagnosis details and dates. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Verify dates and diagnostic coding completeness before certified translation. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Not necessarily. Thai hospitals and public health authorities publishes its own requirement, so we read it before preparing the set and match the certification chain to it.

You can. The work is the sequencing: 3 steps, each at a different counter with its own opening hours, and a document accepted at one step can still be rejected at the next. If you would rather not manage that, send us the set once and our team runs the whole chain and reports at each step.

Both. Our team has worked on document certification for more than 15 years, and most cases are decided before the first counter visit: which record to request, which office issues it, what order the certifications go in, and whether a step is needed at all. We review your case and tell you what your file is missing before you commit to anything.

Typical working time is 1–2 business days when the medical documents are current / 1–2 weeks including consular legalisation / 2–4 weeks when typed medical records must be requested / dependent on the issuing facility's appointment slot, excluding the receiving authority's own queue, which we cannot control and never guarantee. We confirm the realistic range for your case after seeing the actual document set.
