FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is a Thai Notary Public different from a foreign Notary Public?
In Thailand, the Notary Public role is performed by ‘Notarial Services Attorneys’ licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand. Their certifications are valid abroad once further attested by the MFA Department of Consular Affairs and the destination embassy.
How long does the process take?
Typically 30–60 minutes per document set when booked in advance. MFA legalization adds 1–3 working days.
Can the notarized document be used abroad immediately?
Most overseas use requires three steps: (1) Notary by attorney (2) MFA legalization (3) Destination embassy attestation. We handle all three.
What is the starting fee, and are there additional costs?
Notary by attorney starts at THB 1,500 per document set. MFA legalization adds THB 200–800 government fee and THB 2,500–5,000 service fee per applicant for filing.
How can clients outside Bangkok or abroad use this service?
We deliver nationwide and worldwide. Domestic clients can ship documents by post; international clients can use international courier, with video-verified identity where permitted by law.
Where in Bangkok can I use the affidavit oath service?

Supplemental Q&A from the 2026 SEO brief (this service)
What do I need for Power-of-Attorney (POA) notarization?
Bring (1) an UNSIGNED draft POA — you must sign in front of the attorney; (2) original passport or Thai ID; (3) attorney-in-fact details; (4) referenced supporting documents (land title, company affidavit). English POAs need a Thai translation if used in Thailand.
Does a foreigner's Will in Thailand need Notary certification?
A Will executed in Thailand under Civil Code §§1655-1672 needs only two witnesses — Notary is not required. But if the Will must be used abroad (e.g. to administer estate in the home country), we recommend Notary + MFA + embassy legalization for smoother acceptance.
How is a Certificate of Single Status notarized?
Thais: obtain from your district office → certified translation → MFA → foreign spouse's embassy. Foreigners: sign an Affidavit of Single Status before a Thai attorney or your embassy → MFA → present at Thai district office to marry.
What corporate documents are needed to open an account or register abroad?
Standard pack: (1) DBD company affidavit ≤30 days, (2) BOJ 5 shareholder list, (3) MOA, (4) meeting minutes authorising the transaction, (5) POA to the overseas signer, (6) directors' passports. All notarized → MFA → destination embassy (or Apostille).
What should an expat in Thailand bring for notarization?
(1) Original passport + current-visa page copy; (2) proof of Thai address (lease or utility bill); (3) original documents to notarize; (4) certified translation first if the document is not in English/Thai; (5) tell us the destination country so we can advise the correct chain (Apostille vs. embassy).
