What is a Notary Public in Thailand and who is authorized to notarize?

Thailand does not have a common-law Notary Public. Instead, it uses the Notarial Services Attorney system — only lawyers trained and registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand are authorized to notarize signatures, certify copies, administer oaths and affidavits for overseas use under Thai law.

Is a Thai Notarial Services Attorney signature accepted overseas without further steps?

Usually not. A Thai notarization typically needs onward legalization by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), and then by the destination country's embassy or consulate in Thailand. This is the standard legalization chain, because Thailand is not yet a Hague Apostille member.

What is the difference between Notary, MFA legalization, and Embassy attestation?

The Notary verifies that the signature, copy, or sworn statement is genuine. MFA verifies that the notary attorney is real and properly registered. The destination embassy verifies that the Thai MFA has authority to legalize. These three layers stack to make the document valid in the destination country.

Has Thailand joined the Hague Apostille Convention?

As of 2026, Thailand has not yet acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention (HCCH 1961). All Thai documents intended for overseas use still require the chain: Notary (where applicable) → MFA → destination embassy. Latest status is published on the HCCH website.

Do foreigners only need their passport to notarize a document in Thailand?

A valid passport with the latest visa or entry stamp is the primary ID. For corporate, power-of-attorney, or affidavit work you may also need company documents, the original to be certified, or a draft text. We confirm the exact document list after a free case review.

Can I use your service from abroad to notarize Thai documents?

Yes. We receive originals by international courier, prepare a Power of Attorney so we can handle Notary + MFA + embassy steps on your behalf, then ship the completed file back to you. Typical turnaround is 7–14 business days depending on the destination embassy.

Do you support languages other than English?

Yes — we work with 40+ languages including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, German, French, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese and Bahasa Indonesia, covering certified translation plus notarization of foreign-language originals intended for use in Thailand or overseas.

What notarized documents do foreigners need to marry in Thailand?

The core requirement is an Affidavit of Freedom to Marry issued by your embassy in Thailand, then translated into Thai and legalized by the MFA before submission to the Amphur (district office). Some nationalities also need a notarized passport copy and proof of income. We handle every step end-to-end.

How long does MFA legalization take?

Express MFA service takes 1 business day; standard takes 2–3 business days. If translation is needed first, add 1–2 days. We use Express by default for time-sensitive cases and walk documents to the MFA every business day.

Do you handle every embassy in Bangkok for legalization?

We file with 80+ embassies and consulates located in Bangkok, covering both Hague-member countries (where Apostille will eventually apply) and 30+ non-Hague nations that still require the full chain. See the full list on our Notary by Destination Country hub.

What is the process when sending documents to a non-Hague country?

Three layers: (1) Thai notarization of the original or translation, (2) MFA legalization of the notary's signature, (3) attestation by the destination country's embassy or consulate in Bangkok. Combined timeline is typically 5–14 business days depending on the embassy.

Do you need the original document or is a copy enough?

Certified True Copy work requires sight of the original for comparison. Signature or affidavit notarization requires you to sign in front of the attorney. For documents issued by foreign government agencies, an apostilled or pre-legalized copy from the issuing country can sometimes be used.

How much does notary service start from?

Pricing depends on the document type and page count. Single-document work starts in the low-thousand-baht range; complex matters such as powers of attorney, corporate filings or multi-document sets follow separate quotes. After a free case review we provide a fixed total and turnaround in writing.

Do you offer same-day rush service?

Same-day completion is possible for cases that need only Notary + Express MFA, depending on when documents arrive and the MFA queue that day. Onward embassy attestation may add 1–5 days. We confirm the guarantee window in writing before starting.

What payment methods do you accept?

Thai bank transfer, PromptPay, and international transfer (SWIFT/Wise) for overseas clients. We issue invoices and tax receipts under individual or corporate names. Work starts after the agreed deposit is received.

Is the initial consultation free?

Yes — initial consultation and case review are free via LINE, WhatsApp or phone. We review drafts, recommend the correct legalization chain, and quote a fixed price and turnaround. No fees apply until you accept the engagement.

What is the difference between an Affidavit and a Power of Attorney?

An Affidavit is a sworn statement in which the signer attests to the truth of certain facts before the attorney; it is used as evidence. A Power of Attorney delegates authority to another person to act on your behalf. Both must be signed in front of the notary attorney and can be routed through MFA and the relevant embassy.

Can a copy of a Thai national ID card be notarized for overseas use?

Yes. The notary certifies that the copy matches the original, often paired with a notarized English translation. The set can then be legalized at MFA and the destination embassy. Common use cases include overseas bank accounts, KYC, foreign investment and property purchase.

Which corporate documents can a Thai company have notarized?

We notarize Certificates of Incorporation, Director's Affidavits, Powers of Attorney, Board Resolutions, cross-border contracts, MOUs, NDAs, foreign bank account opening forms and full KYC packs destined for overseas counterparties — with translation and full legalization chain included.

Does an English translation need to be notarized before use?

It depends on the receiving authority. Most embassies and courts require a translation accompanied by a Translator's Affidavit and notarization of the translator's signature, followed by MFA + embassy legalization. We provide both translation and notarization in one workflow.

Do I need to book in advance or can I walk in?

We recommend booking via LINE or phone so we can prepare your documents and assign the right attorney in advance. Walk-ins are accepted but may need to wait. We are open daily 8:00–20:00 across Bangkok with door-to-door pickup available.

Do you serve only Bangkok or all provinces?

Our main office is in Bangkok with coverage of all 50 districts. For the remaining provinces we accept documents by courier or postal mail from all 77 provinces, and our team travels to major hubs (Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, Hat Yai, Khon Kaen) for on-site meetings when needed.

I searched 'notary public near me' — how do I use your service?

Open the '50 Bangkok Districts' or '77 Thai Provinces' hub from the menu. Each location page lists the services for that area, nearest BTS/MRT stations, meeting points and travel times, plus same-day document pickup at your office, condo or hotel.

Can I notarize a document via video call?

Under Lawyers Council rules a signature must be witnessed in person, so video-call notarization is not permitted in Thailand. We can however prepare drafts, translations, and a full review by video call, then complete the on-site signing in 15–30 minutes — or have the attorney visit your location.

Do you offer document pickup and delivery?

Yes — same-day pickup and delivery to condos, offices and hotels across Bangkok. For upcountry and overseas we use express couriers (Kerry, J&T, DHL, FedEx) of your choice, with actual shipping cost included transparently in the quote before work begins.

What can a Notary Public in Thailand actually do?

In Thailand the role is called Notarial Services Attorney. It covers (1) signature attestation, (2) certified true copies, (3) affidavits and oaths, (4) existence of documents, (5) certified translations, and (6) corporate documents such as POAs, meeting minutes and company affidavits — all for overseas use.

Why can Thai lawyers act as 'Notary Public' when Thailand is a civil-law jurisdiction?

The Lawyers Council of Thailand's 2008 regulation on 'Notarial Services Attorneys' allows accredited lawyers who complete the special course and register to perform Notary-equivalent acts. Their seal and signature are accepted overseas after MFA + embassy legalization, or via Apostille from 28 Feb 2027.

How much does a Notary Public cost?

Starting rates: CTC ฿800/set, signature attestation ฿1,500-2,500, POA/Affidavit ฿2,000-3,000, full corporate packs from ฿3,000. Mobile-visit fees added by distance; MFA fees are separate.

After Notary Public, do I still need MFA legalization?

It depends on the destination. If it is a Hague Convention member (from 28 Feb 2027), you only need an Apostille from Thailand's MFA. If not, you need MFA legalization followed by the destination country's embassy in Bangkok (embassy chain).

Which countries still need embassy-chain legalization (not Apostille)?

Non-Hague or partial-recognition destinations include Iran, Cambodia, UAE (some doc types), Taiwan, Malaysia (case-by-case), Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam (case-by-case), and most African / Middle-Eastern states. Mainland China joined Apostille in 2023.

Where does the MFA (Consular Affairs) accept documents, and how long?

Department of Consular Affairs, Chaeng Watthana Road, Pak Kret, Nonthaburi. Normal service: 2-3 business days; express: 1 business day (additional fee). Some documents must be translated into Thai or English before submission.

In what order do Notary Public + MFA + Embassy steps happen?

Order matters: (1) Notarial Services Attorney seals first, (2) MFA overstamps, (3) destination embassy overstamps the MFA seal. Skipping steps causes rejection at the embassy.

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).

Thailand joined the Hague Convention on 28 Feb 2027 — what changes?

Thai documents notarized then apostilled by the MFA are accepted in the 125 Hague member states without further embassy stamping. The MFA issues an 'Apostille Certificate' in 1-2 business days — faster and cheaper than the old embassy chain.

Which document types are eligible for a Thai Apostille?

1) Thai public documents (birth, death, marriage, state-university degrees). 2) Documents already notarized (POA, affidavits, contracts, corporate). Commercial documents that are not public records must be notarized first before Apostille can be issued.

How does Apostille differ from Notary + MFA + embassy?

The old chain has 3 stages (5-10 days) and works everywhere: Notary → MFA → embassy. Apostille is a 2-stage chain (2-3 days) that only works with Hague members: Notary → MFA-Apostille. Use Apostille whenever the destination allows — it is faster and cheaper.

Which countries still do not accept the Thai Apostille?

Non-Hague countries and any state that formally objected to Thailand's accession still require the embassy chain — including Iran, Pakistan (case-by-case), and several Middle-East / African states plus destinations without full diplomatic ties. Verify per case before starting.

What is the difference between Notarized Translation and Certified Translation?

A Certified Translation is signed off by the translator. A Notarized Translation adds a Notary Public attestation of the translator's identity and signature — usually required when the translation is sent abroad and must be MFA-legalized or Apostilled.

Can you notarize Japanese, Korean, or Chinese translations here?

Yes. We work with Thai↔JA/KO/ZH translators registered with the Lawyers Council and each embassy. Full Notary + MFA + embassy chain typically takes 5-7 business days.

How do I get a 'Sworn Translation' for Spain / Germany / France?

Some EU states require a locally sworn translator (Traductor Jurado / Übersetzer / Traducteur Assermenté). We translate + Notary + Apostille (Thailand acceded 28 Feb 2027); if the destination mandates a locally sworn translator, our partner network in-country handles the final leg on arrival.

How long / how much for certified degree & transcript translation?

Degree: 1-2 business days. Transcript: 2-3 business days (page count dependent). Translation + Notary from ฿1,500 per document; add ฿1,200 for MFA/Apostille + embassy fee if applicable.
