Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Has Thailand joined the Hague Apostille Convention?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Do you support languages other than English?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

What notarized documents do foreigners need to marry in Thailand?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

How long does MFA legalization take?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Do you handle every embassy in Bangkok for legalization?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 12

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 13

How much does notary service start from?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 14

Do you offer same-day rush service?

Accepted Answer

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 expected timeline and scope in writing before starting.

Question 15

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 16

Is the initial consultation free?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 17

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 18

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 19

Which corporate documents can a Thai company have notarized?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 20

Does an English translation need to be notarized before use?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 21

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 22

Do you serve only Bangkok or all provinces?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 23

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 24

Can I notarize a document via video call?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 25

Do you offer document pickup and delivery?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 26

What can a Notary Public in Thailand actually do?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 27

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 28

How long does notarization take?

Accepted Answer

The notarization itself takes 15-30 minutes in-person and can be completed same-day. Adding MFA + embassy legalization takes 3-7 more business days; the Apostille route takes 1-2 business days for Hague Convention member states.

Question 29

How much does a Notary Public cost?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 30

After Notary Public, do I still need MFA legalization?

Accepted Answer

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).

Question 31

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 32

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 33

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 34

What do I need for Power-of-Attorney (POA) notarization?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 35

Does a foreigner's Will in Thailand need Notary certification?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 36

How is a Certificate of Single Status notarized?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 37

What corporate documents are needed to open an account or register abroad?

Accepted Answer

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).

Question 38

What should an expat in Thailand bring for notarization?

Accepted Answer

(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).

Question 39

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

Accepted Answer

Thai documents notarized then apostilled by the MFA are accepted in the 130 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.

Question 40

Which document types are eligible for a Thai Apostille?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 41

How does Apostille differ from Notary + MFA + embassy?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 42

Which countries still do not accept the Thai Apostille?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 43

What is the difference between Notarized Translation and Certified Translation?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 44

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 45

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 46

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

Accepted Answer

Degree: 1-2 business days. Transcript: 2-3 business days (page count dependent). Translation + Notary fromper document; addfor MFA/Apostille + embassy fee if applicable.
