What final checks should I run before submitting a translation?
Seven checks: all pages present, the stamp's language direction correct, the credential not expired, name spellings matching the passport, dates converted correctly, seal annotations complete, and the file format matching what the authority asks for.
In-depth Answer
A short pre-submission checklist removes most requests for further information.
One: read the translation against the original page by page and confirm the page count matches.
Two: read the language direction on the stamp and confirm it matches the job.
Three: compare the stamp's expiry date with the signing date.
Four: check every instance of a name against the passport bio page, including middle names and name order.
Five: verify Buddhist-era conversions and the date format.
Six: confirm every seal and signature position carries an annotation.
Seven: check the portal's technical rules — maximum file size, how many files per category, and whether the original and translation should be combined in one file or uploaded separately.
Keep a record of the submission date and file names in case anything is queried later.
