Documents Required

Original document to be certified (or freshly issued certified copy within validity window)
Copy of national ID or passport, signed and dated as a true copy
Power of attorney (if a representative will handle it) with a 30 THB revenue stamp
Destination details: country, receiving authority, purpose, and required deadline

Step-by-Step Process

1. Send scanned copies of source documents to us via LINE/email for free initial review.
2. Our team confirms eligibility, issues a written quote and a guaranteed turnaround.
3. You deliver originals to our office (or book a Bangkok pickup) and pay a 50% deposit.
4. We translate, certify, and submit to the relevant Thai authority in sequence.
5. Final documents are scanned and emailed for your review before physical dispatch.
6. We ship by EMS domestically and DHL/FedEx internationally, with tracking numbers.

Timeline & Fees

Standard turnaround: 5-7 business days from receipt of complete originals.
Rush turnaround: 1-3 business days (rush surcharge applies).
Government fees are charged at official rates with no markup.
Domestic EMS at Thailand Post rates; international DHL/FedEx at actual weight-based rates.

Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them

Originals out of validity window — many destinations require documents issued within 3-6 months. Confirm with the destination authority first.
Name mismatch between document and passport — embassies reject these. Correct it at the district office before translating.
Using a translator without an official seal — MFA and embassies will not accept it; you'll restart the chain.
Skipping MFA legalization before the embassy step — wastes multiple trips and weeks of time.

Common Pitfalls (From Field Experience)

Signing before arriving at the notary — the signatory must physically sign in the notary's presence.
Using an expired passport or ID on the day of notarization voids the certification.
Self-translating documents rather than using a Ministry of Justice–listed translator often causes rejection abroad.
Conflating Notary with Apostille — Thailand is not (yet) a Hague Apostille state, so documents still require MFA + destination-embassy legalization.

Decision Tree

ประเทศปลายทางเป็นสมาชิก Hague Apostille?: Yes → ยังต้องรับรอง MFA ก่อน (ไทยยังไม่ใช่ภาคี — ทำ Legalization chain แทน Apostille); No → ทำ Notary → MFA → สถานทูตปลายทาง
เอกสารเป็นสำเนา (copy) หรือต้นฉบับ?: Yes → ใช้ 'Certified True Copy' notarization; No → ใช้ 'Signature Witnessing' หรือ 'Affidavit' notarization
ต้องใช้ภาษาอังกฤษที่ปลายทาง?: Yes → แปลก่อน → นักแปลรับรอง → Notary รับรองลายมือชื่อนักแปล; No → Notary ต้นฉบับภาษาไทยได้ แต่ปลายทางอาจขอแปล

The Notarial Register — traceability and verification

We support attendance at our Sukhumvit office, mobile on-site visits (hospital/hotel/office), and video-witnessed notarisation with an audit-recorded call — pick what your destination country accepts.

Documents to prepare before meeting the attorney

In Thailand, only a Notarial Services Attorney trained and licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand may notarise. Seals from unlicensed practitioners are refused by foreign consulates and registrars — always verify the attorney's registration number.

Warranty and re-issue policy

For Hague states, add an Apostille after notarisation. For non-Hague destinations (China, India, some Middle-Eastern states) chain MFA + destination embassy on top.

When you also need MFA + embassy legalization

Every notarial job carries a 30-day warranty. If the destination refuses due to a defect in the Notarial Certificate, we re-issue at no cost.

What THB 2,500–5,000 actually covers

Bring: original national ID or passport, the underlying original document, one copy, and a note on the destination country and intended use — the attorney will format the Notarial Certificate accordingly.

Why the Lawyers Council of Thailand licence matters

Every notarial act is entered in the Notarial Register per Lawyers Council rules. Foreign authorities can verify authenticity through the Council or Thai MFA. Records are kept for at least ten years.

Frequently asked

Q1.Which countries accept this?

Worldwide use. Hague states add an Apostille; non-Hague (China, India, etc.) also add MFA + destination embassy legalization.

Q2.Do you serve clients outside Bangkok?

Yes. Send photos for a quote, then ship the originals by Kerry/EMS. Returns go by EMS or DHL.
