Editorial Policy — How We Verify Every Page
Every page on this site is written by a practitioner who performs the work, sourced directly from the responsible authority's own announcements, and reviewed by a second specialist before publication. Time-sensitive pages carry a review date and are corrected the moment an authority publishes a change. Spotted an error? Write to contact@ilc.ltd.

How we produce and check content
1. Scope and ownership
Every page is written by someone who does the work. Notarisation pages are drafted and checked by our notarial services team, not by marketing writers.
2. Cite the primary announcement
Requirements, fees and turnaround times are taken from the responsible authority's own announcement or website — never copied from another service provider.
3. Second-expert review
One practitioner drafts, a second reviews before publishing, focusing on the points that go wrong most often: certification order, document validity periods and name spelling consistency.
4. Show the last reviewed date
Time-sensitive pages (fees, turnaround, Apostille status) carry a review date and are re-checked at least quarterly.
5. Fix immediately on new announcements
When an authority publishes a change, we update every affected page in one pass — including the paired Thai-language page.
Scope and limitations
- · Content here is general preparation guidance, not case-specific legal advice.
- · Government fees and processing times change by announcement; confirm before you file.
- · Visa decisions and document acceptance remain at the discretion of the receiving authority — no provider can guarantee an outcome.
- · We publish no invented reviews. Case studies on this site are methodology examples with all identifying details removed.
Editorial policy FAQ
- How often is this information updated?
- Pages carrying fees, turnaround times or treaty status are reviewed at least quarterly, and corrected immediately when the relevant authority publishes a change.
- Who reviews the content?
- Reviewers are the practitioners who handle the work: registered Notarial Services Attorneys for notarisation content, and our consular liaison officers for legalisation content. A second reviewer signs off every page.
- I found something inaccurate — what should I do?
- Email contact@ilc.ltd or message LINE @NYC168 with the page URL. We check it against the primary source, correct it and update the review date on that page.
- Is this content AI-generated?
- Drafting tools may assist with formatting, but every fact, fee, step and recommendation is verified and approved by our specialists before publication.
- Are the case studies real clients?
- They are representative scenarios summarised from real work patterns, with no names, document numbers or identifying details, and they are never presented as client testimonials.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. It is general information to help you prepare. For a case-specific opinion, contact our team for a document and purpose assessment — the initial assessment is free.
