Our Team of 6 Licensed Notary Public Attorneys

Having an attorney witness records who the parties are and when they signed, but it does not satisfy formalities the law prescribes. For example, a lease of immovable property over three years that is not in writing and registered is enforceable for only three years under section 538 of the Civil and Commercial Code; land sales must be registered at the Land Office.

What is witnessed: Identity and signing — Provided by Thai Notary Law & Service Co., Ltd., DBD Reg. 0405565001923, Thailand.

  2. 2

    Send a photo/scan in advance so our attorney can review and quote.

  3. 3

    Confirm the appointment and recipient requirements; online consultation does not replace required in-person signing.

    Have the attorney inspect originals and perform the appropriate certification; timing is assessed after review.

Contracts that need extra formalities

Leases of land or buildings over three years, land sales or mortgages, condominium transfers and some guarantees carry statutory writing or registration requirements. Check whether your contract falls into these before booking a witnessing.

On the signing day

All parties bring original passports or IDs, confirm every counterpart is identical, initial each page if agreed, and never sign a copy with blanks. Company signatories bring evidence of authority.
