What is Notary Public?

An officer authorised to witness signatures, certify copies and administer oaths for cross-border use.

In detail

Thailand does not have a common-law notary. The equivalent role is the Notarial Services Attorney, a lawyer registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand under Royal Patronage. The attorney verifies the signer's identity, witnesses the signature, certifies that a copy is a true copy of the original, and administers oaths or statutory declarations. The resulting certificate is typically the first link in a chain that continues to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, where required, an embassy.
