- Review and edit AI-generated first-draft translations for accuracy, completeness, and fidelity to the source document
- Apply correct transliteration of Thai names and proper nouns in line with client-specified spellings (e.g., matching immigration form entries)
- Sign and issue certification statements attesting to the accuracy and completeness of each translation, in a form suitable for USCIS and other institutional acceptance
- Preserve original document layout and formatting in the translated output
- Communicate with internal reviewers or project coordinators on document questions, ambiguous source text, or unusual formats
What we're looking for
- Native or near-native fluency in Thai and professional fluency in English
- Demonstrated experience translating legal, civil, or official documents from Thai to English
- Strong understanding of Thai civil registry documents, court records, and academic credentialing conventions
- Familiarity with certified translation standards and certification statement requirements (e.g., for immigration or court use)
- Excellent attention to detail, especially with names, dates, numbers, and official seals
- Ability to work within defined turnaround windows (documents are typically delivered in 14-48 hours)
Nice to have
- Prior experience as a certified or sworn translator
- Familiarity with USCIS translation requirements or US court document standards
