I posted this a few weeks ago:

 

A few years back now, so not sure if the office is still there. But I used 'Soi Post Office Translation' to translate a Thai birth certificate required for a UK passport application. Can't recall the cost but believe it was quite reasonable. The office is located at the Beach Road end and on the left side headed to the beach.

For my kids passport.

 

thanks for all the replies...

 

what is the fair price for this service?

 

 

Any decent lawyer can do for you. Make sure you get the official stamp from Chang Wattana. Which should be included in the price.

Right - official stamps probably needed.  In that vein perhaps there is a private visa service office near Jomtien Immigration that has frequent contact with Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get such official stamps.  We have such a private visa service office in Chiang Mai (Star Visa) near US Consulate & they are big time savers for getting things done correctly at reasonable worthwhile cost.

I paid cta 500 baht if I remember correctly, the translation is stamped. I used it for my daughters uk passport application

CW stamp not needed when I submitted the translated BC for a UK passport. The translation was stamped by the translation company, that's all. This was about 10 years back when applications were still being dealt with at the Embassy. So requirements may have changed since then.  

Done mine 2 years ago. It was a requirement.

A translation is nothing more than an a4 piece of paper with the same info and same formatting as the Thai original, right?

 

i could get one of Thai teacher friends to translate it to English and make it up in Microsoft word the same as the original and take it to Chaney wattana for authentification, right?

 

i know there would be mistakes but in theory if it was perfectly translated by a regular joe and submitted with the Thai original, Chang wattana would stamp it?

 

(not sure if I'm being really naive)

An office near Jomtien immigration did it for me. As you enter the area it is the second last on the left.

 

Think they charged 400 baht per page. You have to leave it with them and collect it later.

Do you get an accepted stamp with the place in jomtien? I heard there is a stamp but it's from the translation company....

 

is this stamp accepted by the uk embassy as part of an application for a first child's passport or do I need to get further validation with a stamp from Thai immigration in bkk (Chang wattana)?  (As suggested by the gentleman above)

 

 

many thanks for the replIes

Things change here, but I would not of thought the UK passport application would change their criteria. A stamp from Chang Wattana is what you need. As previously stated some lawyers Will do this for you by going to Bangkok.

From memory the office near Immigration do stamp it, which is why you have to collect it later. Best to ask them yourself, but I am fairly sure it is stamped or notified or whatever their terminology

   Thanks, that's good enough for me. I was quoted 400 for the translation or 5000 for them to go to CW and get me the stamp. I've been to CW before and it's a minor hinderance.  So I'll take the BC and translated BC up there for a validation stamp myself.
