NAATI Translation — Thai National ID Card
A Thai ID card contains identity details according to its card version. Translation should cover the actual text and the sides requested by the recipient; it should not add an address or postcode absent from the card. If the card already has English names, ask whether the recipient still needs translation of the Thai entries. Translation is separate from identity verification, inspection of the original card and a bank’s account-opening rules.

What should you prepare for this document?
- Capture the complete card without glare and provide the sides requested.
- Compare the name with the passport and flag differences before work starts.

Frequently asked questions
Does a card with English names still need translation?
It depends on the recipient. Other fields may still be in Thai. Provide the image and checklist to determine which entries need translation rather than decide from the English name alone.
How is the fee assessed?
Send complete readable files and the recipient’s request. Confirm scope, page count, format, payment conditions and quote before work starts.
When can I receive the translation?
Timing depends on the scope and translator availability. Agree the proposed date before work starts; shipping and recipient processing are separate.
PDF or printed translation?
Ask the recipient which format it requires. Agree delivery before work starts. A translated PDF does not itself certify the original copy.
Is acceptance guaranteed?
No. The recipient assesses documents under its own requirements. Verify the translator and language direction in the official NAATI directory; translation does not guarantee a visa or registration outcome.
Which application can use this document?
Follow the actual recipient’s checklist. A document title does not establish that it meets every visa or application requirement.
