NAATI Frequently Asked Question

Translating Thai company registration (DBD) documents for Australia

Direct Answer

Use a DBD-issued certificate within the recipient's accepted age limit, together with the shareholder list and memorandum of association, and translate the set in one batch.

In-depth Answer

Corporate work appears in business visas, offshore bank onboarding, subsidiary set-up and cross-border contracting.

The standard set is the certificate of incorporation, the shareholder list (Bor Or Jor 5), the memorandum of association and the latest financial statements.

Take care with director titles and the signing-authority clause — these are the lines counterparties and banks actually read, and a loose rendering can stall a transaction.

Practice: fix terminology across the whole set, and use the company's registered English name exactly as filed with the DBD where one exists.

If the documents will also serve outside Australia, plan Thai MFA and embassy legalisation alongside the translation from day one.
