Cautions — what most often causes a rejection
Renewal and termination clauses must be rendered clause-by-clause against the source.How we handle it: Certify a complete clause-level translation including annexes, then notarise signatures.
Land-office registration entries and the contract can diverge.How we handle it: Verify the latest registration entry before translating and annotate differences.
Title-deed numbers and areas must match the land register exactly.How we handle it: Reconcile deed numbers and areas with the register before issuing the certified translation.
Director details and signing authority must come from a current extract.How we handle it: Obtain a current DBD extract before certified translation.
The scope must itemise each filing and identify the target property.How we handle it: Itemise filings and the property, then notarise the signature.
The report carries technical terms and tables whose layout must be preserved.How we handle it: Build a terminology table and preserve table structure in the certified translation.
Annexes are commonly omitted, leaving the set incomplete.How we handle it: Certify a full translation of the main agreement and every annex.
Receiving parties expect the consenting signature to be certified.How we handle it: Notarise the signature, then legalise if the destination requires it.
They need source-country certification or an Apostille before Thai legalisation.How we handle it: Sequence source certification, certified Thai translation and consular legalisation.
The addendum must cite the original contract's number and date exactly.How we handle it: Bundle certified translations of the original and the addendum as one set.
We handle the whole chain end to end — document review, certified translation, notarial certification, ministry and embassy legalisation, and delivery — so you only hand over the paperwork once. Our team checks the receiving authority's current requirements before the first step, which is where most rejections are avoided.
Doing it yourself vs letting us run it — Commercial property
A side-by-side view of the work involved. Every row is derived from the worked examples on this page, so it reflects what this document category actually requires.
Doing it yourself vs letting us run it — Commercial property
What has to happen
If you run it yourself
If our team runs it
Confirming current requirements
You contact each of the 5 possible receiving authorities yourself and read their current wording before preparing anything.
We confirm the receiving authority's current requirement before step one, then tell you exactly which records to request.
Assembling the document set
You work out which of the 10 document types apply to your case and which linking records are also needed.
We audit the set first and list every missing linking record (name changes, marriage or divorce records, issuing-office copies).
Order of certification steps
Up to 3 sequential steps, each with its own queue; one step done out of order usually means starting again.
One intake, one owner. We run the steps in the correct order and hold the file until the whole chain is complete.
Rejection risk
10 distinct rejection causes are documented on this page alone — most are only visible after a document is returned.
Each known cause is checked against your file before lodging, and the fix is applied before the document leaves us.
Trips and waiting time
Separate visits for the district office, the ministry counter and the embassy, each with its own opening hours.
You send the set once. We handle submission, follow-up and return delivery, and report progress at each step.
If something goes wrong
You restart the affected step and re-queue at the counter.
Our reviewer diagnoses the cause, corrects the file and advises whether a replacement record is needed.
We are your adviser, not only your processing agency
Our team has spent more than 15 years on document certification for receiving authorities in Thailand and abroad. Most of the value is in the advice before the first step: which record to request, which office issues it, what order the certifications go in, and which wording gets a file rejected.
Free-of-charge case review before you commit: we tell you what your file is missing and what the receiving authority currently accepts.
A named reviewer stays with your file from intake to delivery, so you are not re-explaining the case at every step.
Advice covers the whole journey, not one document: if a later step needs a different record, we tell you now rather than after a rejection.
If a step is not required in your case, we say so — we do not add certifications the receiving authority does not ask for.
Would you rather not deal with any of this?
Send us the document set and tell us the receiving authority. We confirm the requirements, run every certification step in the correct order, and deliver the finished set back to you. Fees are quoted per document set by our staff by phone, LINE or email.
These are procedural worked examples compiled to explain document requirements and workflow. They are not individual client records, contain no personal data, and are not customer reviews or testimonials. Fees are quoted per document set — please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

What does Corporate documents and company registration involve, and what do I need to prepare?
Corporate documents and company registration. Prepare 4 core items — starting with Company affidavit issued within 6 months — then we work through 5 steps: Whether the director may sign alone and whether the seal is required; Latest affidavit and shareholder list from the DBD; Company name, registration number and objectives kept consistent. We verify every item against the receiving authority's current requirement list before anything is submitted, and tell you which points are weak. Fees are quoted per case by our team.
Questions people ask about Corporate documents and company registration
Which documents do I need for Corporate documents and company registration?
Company affidavit issued within 6 months; Shareholder list (BorJor.5) and memorandum of association; Relevant board minutes or resolutions; ID/passport of the authorised director plus the company seal
What are the steps for Corporate documents and company registration?
Verify signing authority. Whether the director may sign alone and whether the seal is required. Obtain fresh corporate extracts. Latest affidavit and shareholder list from the DBD. Translate the corporate set. Company name, registration number and objectives kept consistent. Notarise and legalise. Director's signature notarised, then MFA legalisation as required. Final embassy or counterparty filing. Ready for overseas incorporation, bank account opening or tenders.
What most often gets this rejected?
Objects that do not cover the real business block later licence applications. Foreign shareholding ratios trigger Foreign Business Act requirements. The registered address requires documented consent of use. Foreign director documents must be legalised in their home country.
Can you guarantee the result?
No — acceptance is the receiving authority's decision, and anyone promising otherwise is not being straight with you. What we take responsibility for is the file: every item checked against the current requirement list, weak points flagged before submission, and a written explanation of what the officer will look at.
Why hand this to our team
Corporate documents and company registration goes wrong in small, expensive ways: a name spelled differently from the passport, a copy certified by the wrong officer, a document issued outside the recency window the receiver accepts. Our attorneys and registered translators have worked on this paperwork since 2010, we keep the current requirement list for each destination office, and we tell you where your case is weak before you spend anything on submission. One team handles translation, notarisation, consular legalisation and embassy steps, so nothing gets lost between providers.
