Case study

In Q1 2025 a client based in Thailand → Malaysia preparing a MEDICAL bundle ordered certified Japanese translation of official documents alongside a power of attorney. The full bundle (3 documents) was translated, second-linguist reviewed and despatched by overnight courier to Thailand → Malaysia within 12 hours. Malaysia authorities accepted the lodgement on the first review with no follow-up on the translation chain. This case is representative of our 98.6% first-pass acceptance rate for Thailand → Malaysia Japanese translation files in 2025 (n=5,247). Edge cases — orphan stamps, faded seals, mixed-script names — are flagged before the notarial cadence step. Malaysia authorities consular staff confirm receipts faster when the Japanese certification footer carries our QR-verifiable ID. Thailand → Malaysia students preparing Malaysia authorities admission bundles save ~15% by ordering all transcripts in one Japanese batch.
