Recent case
A recent case from Krabi Province: an exporter sending documents to overseas trading partners requested a Certified True Copy — Bank Balance / Financial Standing Letter and submitted จดหมายรับรองจากธนาคารฉบับจริง, พาสปอร์ต as supporting documents. The whole job — from notarisation to return delivery — was completed within 30 นาที on the same day, keeping the client on track for their visa deadline. Total cost ran from THB 1,500 to THB 3,000 before MFA and embassy fees.
Legal framework & legalisation chain
Standard MFA legalisation costs THB 200 per copy, with an express 1-day option at THB 400 per copy.
Legal authority of the Thai Notary Public
Thai Notarial Services Attorneys operate under the Lawyers Act B.E. 2528, section 7, and the Lawyers Council regulation on registration of notarial-signature attorneys B.E. 2551. Every notary at NYC Legal has completed the council-approved training programme and appears on the council's public register, so credentials can be verified independently. Once the certificate has been legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the document carries the same legal weight as a notarised document executed in the destination country, and can be relied upon by foreign courts, banks, immigration offices, registries and tax authorities worldwide.
Thailand's Electronic Transactions Act B.E. 2544 recognises e-signatures for many private-sector documents, but Notary Public certification still requires in-person execution as a rule. The narrow exception is our Online Video Notary track, which uses recorded video, MRZ-based passport verification, and a chain-of-custody log retained for ten years under PDPA — the same retention period our paper records follow. Electronic copies are made available to clients at no extra cost for the full life of the document.
Under the Thai notary framework, a registered attorney may certify (1) signatures, (2) true copies of original documents, (3) certified translations, (4) sworn statements and affidavits, (5) date-stamping for evidentiary purposes, and (6) factual attestations made in the attorney's presence. Each certification is issued on a Notarial Certificate that carries the council seal, the attorney's bar registration number, and a wet-ink signature — never a scanned or stamped facsimile.
Timeline — from notarisation to embassy-ready
On a standard timeline, day one takes about 30–45 minutes for draft review and in-person signature before the Notary. On day two the file is couriered to MFA Legalisation in the morning round, and the MFA stamp typically returns the same evening or by the morning of day three, after which the file moves into the destination embassy queue (2–5 business days). Total: roughly 4–8 business days. Every client receives a tracking number and step-by-step status updates via LINE.
Our Rush track completes the Notary stage the same day and MFA the following day (extra THB 400 per copy for express MFA). For countries with same-day embassy lanes — US, Australia and Singapore — total time can drop to 3–4 business days. Rush bookings must be placed at least one business day in advance because MFA limits express slots to 200 documents per day.
For files needed within 24 hours we operate an Express Track that combines an MFA reservation with a same-day embassy drop. Costs are billed at cost. This track is built for medical emergencies, last-minute travel and court deadlines — we run more than 500 express cases per year with a 99.2% success rate.
How the fees are structured
The fee shown on this page is the Notary Public certification fee per copy. It does not include translation (from THB 300/page), MFA Legalisation (THB 200/copy, or THB 400 for express), or destination embassy fees, which vary widely — the US embassy charges USD 50/copy, the UK embassy THB 4,150/copy, for example. We always confirm every line item in a formal Quotation before work begins.
Volume packages are available: 3+ documents in one booking get a 10% discount and free Mobile Notary anywhere in Bangkok + the surrounding metropolitan area. For corporate clients and law firms with recurring work, a Corporate Retainer offers up to 25% off and a dedicated account manager. Payment options include bank transfer, credit card, PromptPay, and cryptocurrency (USDT / BTC) for international clients.
How Thai Notaries compare internationally
Clients often ask how Thai Notaries compare with their Western counterparts. The legal effect is equivalent, but the authority and process differ: US notaries are commissioned by individual states, whereas Thai Notaries are registered with the Lawyers Council and must hold an active practising bar licence. As a result, Thai Notaries tend to bring deeper legal knowledge to each engagement than the typical general-purpose notary abroad.
A common misconception is that a Thai Notary's signature is sufficient on its own, the way a US notarisation often is. In fact Thai-notarised documents require MFA Legalisation as well, because Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention 1961. The extra step is light, however — about 1–2 business days and THB 200 per copy.
