You can try to get Coloured Copies (I mean because of stamps) emailed down, I understand the originals are up north, and get a translation centre to do transcribe them, but, some Thai Government Institutions and Embassies require the originals. Are you not in a position to get the originals sent down by EMS ? just 2 days waiting maximum
The Blue book should remain with the Housemaster, not sure what you mean about the separation. Any original documents which have an official seal are accepted. All documents are signed by the recipients, for example mine are and my wife's are.
If your documents are translated by a recognised office they can seal and verify (that's what I did in Udon Thani and they were accepted) regards to the bank, that depends on your branch, some will do the same day, some will be 1-2 days. My bank do it there and then.
