How is a Thai police clearance certificate handled for NAATI translation?
Obtain it from the Royal Thai Police Special Branch, then have the original certified-translated with the reference number, issue date and result wording reproduced exactly.
In-depth Answer
Police clearances weigh heavily in character assessment.
The Thai original carries a reference number, the Garuda emblem, the issuing unit and a summary of the record check — all of which must appear in the translation, including bracketed descriptions of seals and signatures so it is clear those are stamp contents, not translator additions.
Watch validity: most receiving bodies accept only recently issued certificates, so sequence the request close to lodgement and translate as soon as it arrives.
If you have used a former name, declare it in the original application so the certificate covers every name and you avoid a second round.
Keep both the digital file and a printed copy, since some processes later ask for paper.
