āļāļĩāđāļĄāļē / Source: NYC Online Translation â Verified by MFA Thailand, Lawyers Council of Thailand & embassy registrations.
Thai government-document legalisation service for "House Registration" issued by District Office. NYC Legal handles the complete chain: sourcing fresh certified copies, certified translation, MFA (Consular Department) legalisation, and either Apostille (for 125 Hague-Convention countries since 15 May 2024) or destination-embassy attestation. Turnaround 3-5 āļ§āļąāļāļāļģāļāļēāļĢ + embassy queue. In business since 2013, operated by registered notarial-services attorneys and MFA-listed translators.
House Registration (form āļ.āļĢ.14) is issued by District Office and accepted domestically without further step. To be recognised abroad it must run through a legalisation chain because foreign authorities cannot verify Thai officials' seals and signatures directly.
The chain has three tiers: (1) certified translation by MFA-registered translator, (2) MFA Consular Department authentication of the translator's and issuer's signatures, (3) either Apostille (Hague 1961 â 125 countries since 15 May 2024) or destination-embassy attestation. Total turnaround averages 3-5 āļ§āļąāļāļāļģāļāļēāļĢ + 3-14 working days for the embassy queue where applicable.
Common use cases: Proof of address for overseas banks, PR application overseas, Thai tax-residency proof. NYC Legal frequently handles bundled cases â e.g. birth certificate + house registration + marriage certificate together â at a package rate that saves ~30-40% versus separate filings.
1. Original blue house-registration book 2. Fresh copy from district office (âĪ6 months) 3. House-master's Thai ID
4. Power of Attorney (if NYC Legal acts on your behalf) with THB 30 stamp duty and your Thai ID copy. Lost the original? We can re-request from District Office in any district (10-50 THB fee, +1-2 working days).
Translation: NYC Legal has MFA-registered translators for english, chinese, japanese, korean, german, french and 40+ additional languages. Rates from THB 500-1,500 per page depending on complexity.
MFA legalisation fee: THB 200 per page (Regular, 2-3 working days) or THB 400 (Express, same day if submitted before 10:30). NYC Legal handling fee starts THB 800-2,500 per set (includes courier, queueing, tracking). Translation is charged per page.
Approximate timeline: 3-5 āļ§āļąāļāļāļģāļāļēāļĢ for MFA + translation. Add 3-14 working days for destination-embassy queue where required. Rush delivery via our Bangkok messenger network from THB 200.
2026 note: Since 15 May 2024 Thailand is a full Hague Apostille member. Documents with MFA Apostille are accepted directly in 125+ countries without further embassy step (USA, UK, Japan, Korea, Germany, France, Australia, Hong Kong). Countries still requiring embassy attestation: China (until Feb 2024), Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc.
This House Registration service connects with: (1) MFA-certified translation (7 languages), (2) Notary Public for additional signature witnessing, (3) Destination-embassy attestation for non-Hague countries, (4) Overseas marriage / divorce registration for civil-status documents.
Example: a Thai client marrying a German national and relocating to Germany needs 4 documents legalised (birth cert, marriage cert, house reg, single-status cert) with German translation + MFA + German Embassy. NYC Legal delivers this as one bundled package, cutting elapsed time by ~40% versus filing individually.
