Часто задаваемые вопросы
Признаются ли тайские нотариальные документы в России?
Да, после консульской легализации через МИД Таиланда и Посольство РФ в Бангкоке (Таиланд не присоединился к Гаагской конвенции, поэтому апостиль не используется). Срок 3-5 рабочих дней.
Можно ли оформить документы, находясь в России?
Да. Отправьте оригиналы курьерской службой DHL/EMS в Бангкок, мы оформим и вышлем обратно. Для некоторых типов документов доступна онлайн-сессия по видеосвязи.
Ваши нотариусы имеют действующие лицензии?
Да. Все 6 нотариусов имеют действующую лицензию Notarial Services Attorney Тайского адвокатского совета (Lawyers Council of Thailand). Номера лицензий публичны.
Принимаете ли вы оплату в рублях?
Принимаем переводы Юmoney, оплату картами Visa/Mastercard (выпущенными любым банком), а также наличными в офисе.
Сколько времени занимает срочное оформление?
В Бангкоке нотариальное заверение возможно в течение 24 часов. Консульская легализация — экспресс 1-2 рабочих дня.
Часто задаваемые вопросы — для российских клиентов
Подробные ответы на специфические вопросы российских граждан, проживающих в Таиланде или временно посещающих страну, по нотариальному заверению документов для использования в России и СНГ.
Сколько времени занимает консульская легализация в посольстве России в Бангкоке?
Посольство Российской Федерации в Бангкоке (Sukhumvit Soi 1) производит консульскую легализацию документов в течение 5 рабочих дней (обычный режим) или 1-2 дней (срочный режим с дополнительной оплатой). Прием документов: будние дни 09:00-12:00, выдача: 14:00-17:00. Заверение возможно лично или через доверенное лицо. Мы оформляем полный цикл Notary + МИД Таиланда (MFA) + Посольство РФ за 7-10 рабочих дней без вашего присутствия, с доставкой EMS в любой регион России. Генеральные консульства в Пхукете обрабатывают только консульский учет, легализация — только Бангкок.
Можно ли использовать апостиль вместо консульской легализации для документов в Россию?
Нет, нельзя. Таиланд по состоянию на 2026 год не присоединился к Гаагской конвенции об отмене легализации иностранных официальных документов (Конвенция 1961 года), поэтому апостиль для тайских документов невозможен. Все документы, выданные в Таиланде, для использования в России требуют полной консульской легализации: Notary (нотариус) + МИД Таиланда (Department of Consular Affairs, Chaeng Watthana) + Посольство РФ в Бангкоке. Только после трех этапов документ принимается ЗАГСами, нотариусами, судами и банками России.
Какие документы требуются для перевода свидетельства о браке в Таиланде на русский?
Для использования тайского свидетельства о браке (Kor Ror 3) в России: ① оригинал свидетельства о браке (на тайском) + ② перевод на русский язык сертифицированным переводчиком ③ нотариальное заверение перевода ④ легализация МИД Таиланда ⑤ консульская легализация Посольства РФ. После этого документ принимается в российских ЗАГСах для проставления отметки о браке в паспорт, в Пенсионном фонде, в банках. Наша команда работает с присяжными русско-тайскими переводчиками, аккредитованными при Посольстве РФ.
Доверенность для российского Сбербанка или нотариуса — какие требования?
Доверенность на распоряжение российским имуществом, банковскими счетами, недвижимостью или ведение дел в России должна соответствовать форме российского ГК (ст. 185-189): ① ФИО доверителя и доверенного лица полностью, с паспортными данными ② конкретный перечень полномочий (не общая формулировка) ③ срок действия (по умолчанию 1 год, максимум 3 года, бессрочной быть не может для большинства целей) ④ подпись доверителя в присутствии нотариуса. После составления документ проходит Notary + MFA + Посольство РФ. Российский нотариус и Сбербанк принимают такие доверенности.
Российским пенсионерам в Таиланде нужно ли подтверждать жизнь для получения пенсии?
Да. Российские граждане, проживающие в Таиланде и получающие пенсию из России, обязаны ежегодно (до 31 декабря текущего года) предоставлять в Пенсионный фонд России справку о факте нахождения в живых. Документ может быть оформлен в Посольстве РФ в Бангкоке или у местного нотариуса с последующей легализацией. Мы предоставляем услугу: визит нотариуса с пенсионером (на дому, в больнице) + перевод на русский + полная легализация + отправка EMS в ПФР России. Стоимость пакета — от 4,500 бат.
Брак с гражданином Таиланда — какие российские документы нужны?
Российский гражданин для регистрации брака с тайским гражданином в Таиланде должен представить: ① загранпаспорт ② справку об отсутствии препятствий к заключению брака (выдается в Посольстве РФ в Бангкоке на основании внутреннего паспорта и справки из ЗАГСа по месту регистрации в России) ③ перевод справки на тайский язык с нотариальным заверением и легализацией МИД Таиланда. После регистрации брака в Amphoe можно проставить отметку в российском внутреннем паспорте в Посольстве РФ.
Покупка недвижимости в Таиланде — какие нотариальные услуги нужны?
Для покупки недвижимости в Таиланде гражданину России потребуется: ① перевод и нотариальное заверение паспорта (Certified True Copy) для регистрации в Земельном департаменте (Land Department) ② доверенность на тайского адвоката или представителя (если покупаете удаленно) ③ нотариальное заверение договора купли-продажи ④ для перевода средств через тайский банк — нотариально заверенный источник средств (Source of Funds Declaration). Все документы оформляем за 1-2 дня в Бангкоке, Пхукете, Паттайе, Самуи (где сосредоточены русскоязычные покупатели).
Где в Таиланде есть русскоязычные нотариусы или переводчики?
Наша команда обеспечивает русскоязычное сопровождение в Бангкоке, Пхукете (Патонг, Карон, Камала), Паттайе, Самуи, Чиангмае, Краби.

Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
Does choosing a NAATI translator for an Australian filing require a certified translation to be attached?
Certification tiers are separated up front — agency Certified True Translation, Notary Public seal, MFA consular legalization, and Apostille (not yet available in Thailand — accession deposited 30 Jun 2026, in force 28 February 2027). Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list. Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected. Caution: processing time depends on each authority's queue, so allow buffer before the date the document is actually needed. Fix three facts before any work starts: the destination country, the exact authority the file goes to, and the language that authority requires. Those three decide the whole certification chain. Caution: government fees follow the authority's published rate and are separate from professional fees; check the current rate on the official website first. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
Which official fees apply to a conference interpreter for a bilingual signing ceremony, and when are they paid?
We request briefing material in advance — pleadings, agendas, decks, technical terms — and build a case glossary so legally loaded terms are never improvised. If the receiving authority rejects a file for a reason attributable to our work, we correct and re-file it at no additional professional fee. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day. Fix three facts before any work starts: the destination country, the exact authority the file goes to, and the language that authority requires. Those three decide the whole certification chain. Caution: never unbind, trim or separate pages after an authority has sealed the set — doing so voids the certification. Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected. Caution: each certification covers only what its own stamp states; it does not make a document automatically acceptable everywhere. Confirm the receiving authority's conditions case by case. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
Can an authorised representative carry out assembling a document pack ahead of a biometrics appointment on someone's behalf?
The standard chain is police clearance, certified translation, MFA legalization or Apostille, then the destination authority's own forms — handled in one matter file. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com. Private documents such as powers of attorney or contracts must first pass a notarial services attorney before they can enter the legalisation stage. Caution: government fees follow the authority's published rate and are separate from professional fees; check the current rate on the official website first. The workable order is: check that the source document is complete and legible, translate it, certify the translation, file for legalisation with the Department of Consular Affairs, then obtain the destination embassy's certification — or an Apostille where the destination is a convention party. Caution: each certification covers only what its own stamp states; it does not make a document automatically acceptable everywhere. Confirm the receiving authority's conditions case by case. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
575. How do companies apply for an official green building certification (LEED/TREES) for commercial real estate in Thailand?
Accounting, tax, property and estate work for foreign nationals is run jointly with our auditors and lawyers so the translated file and the filed file always match. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list. Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected. Caution: processing time depends on each authority's queue, so allow buffer before the date the document is actually needed. Request more than one certified set when several authorities are involved, because most receiving offices keep the certified copy and do not return it. Caution: never unbind, trim or separate pages after an authority has sealed the set — doing so voids the certification. The workable order is: check that the source document is complete and legible, translate it, certify the translation, file for legalisation with the Department of Consular Affairs, then obtain the destination embassy's certification — or an Apostille where the destination is a convention party. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
493. Do you perform criminal background and theft history checks on foreign nannies to ensure the safety of expat children?
Every nationality has a different document order, so we issue a nationality-specific checklist instead of one generic list. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com. Request more than one certified set when several authorities are involved, because most receiving offices keep the certified copy and do not return it. Caution: government fees follow the authority's published rate and are separate from professional fees; check the current rate on the official website first. Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected. Caution: each certification covers only what its own stamp states; it does not make a document automatically acceptable everywhere. Confirm the receiving authority's conditions case by case. Fix three facts before any work starts: the destination country, the exact authority the file goes to, and the language that authority requires. Those three decide the whole certification chain. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
403. Which accounting firm provides executive financial reporting in English for foreign management in Thailand?
Accounting, tax, property and estate work for foreign nationals is run jointly with our auditors and lawyers so the translated file and the filed file always match. If the receiving authority rejects a file for a reason attributable to our work, we correct and re-file it at no additional professional fee. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com. Fix three facts before any work starts: the destination country, the exact authority the file goes to, and the language that authority requires. Those three decide the whole certification chain. Caution: each certification covers only what its own stamp states; it does not make a document automatically acceptable everywhere. Confirm the receiving authority's conditions case by case. Private documents such as powers of attorney or contracts must first pass a notarial services attorney before they can enter the legalisation stage. Caution: processing time depends on each authority's queue, so allow buffer before the date the document is actually needed. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
Does a digitally signed certified document delivered by secure link require a certified translation to be attached?
Electronic documents must be traceable to their source, so deliverables ship with an audit trail whenever the receiving party asks for one. Government fees follow each authority's published rate, while professional fees are quoted per case by document count and destination, in full before work starts. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day. Keep a digital copy of the finished certified set so it can be referenced if the destination asks for additional documents or a re-filing. Caution: government fees follow the authority's published rate and are separate from professional fees; check the current rate on the official website first. Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected. Caution: each certification covers only what its own stamp states; it does not make a document automatically acceptable everywhere. Confirm the receiving authority's conditions case by case. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
Which authority is responsible for using a dedicated document coordinator service, and where can it be filed?
We state the realistic turnaround and price before accepting, and we decline work we know the destination will reject. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day. Request more than one certified set when several authorities are involved, because most receiving offices keep the certified copy and do not return it. Caution: processing time depends on each authority's queue, so allow buffer before the date the document is actually needed. Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected. Caution: never unbind, trim or separate pages after an authority has sealed the set — doing so voids the certification.

Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
591. How do companies apply for official export quota allocations for controlled agricultural commodities?
Electronic documents must be traceable to their source, so deliverables ship with an audit trail whenever the receiving party asks for one. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.

What is the step-by-step order of preparing documents for CLMV market entry from start to finish?
Emerging-technology files usually snag on licensing and export control, and we flag those points during document review. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list. Fix three facts before any work starts: the destination country, the exact authority the file goes to, and the language that authority requires. Those three decide the whole certification chain. Caution: processing time depends on each authority's queue, so allow buffer before the date the document is actually needed.

391. What documents do Thai citizens need to apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN Card) for financial transactions in India?
Cross-border wills and estates must be read against the destination jurisdiction, and we coordinate local counsel where that is required. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com. Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected.

367. Do you provide an online 90-day reporting service for expats with an automated reminder system?
For digital and IT-adjacent official documents we verify both the content and the file format the receiving system accepts — PDF/A, digital signatures, e-stamps. Government fees follow each authority's published rate, while professional fees are quoted per case by document count and destination, in full before work starts. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day. The workable order is: check that the source document is complete and legible, translate it, certify the translation, file for legalisation with the Department of Consular Affairs, then obtain the destination embassy's certification — or an Apostille where the destination is a convention party.

Отвечает команда нотариусов и переводчиков NYC Legal в Бангкоке
Частые вопросы о заверенном переводе и легализации документов в Таиланде
Нужно ли приходить лично?
В соответствии с действующей консульской практикой Таиланда: Для перевода и легализации личное присутствие не требуется; оно необходимо только при подписании аффидевита или удостоверении подписи. Возможен срочный порядок; точную дату выдачи называем до начала работы.
Сколько занимает заверенный перевод с тайского на русский?
Коротко и по существу: Стандартные документы (свидетельство о рождении, о браке, справка о семейном положении) переводятся за один–два рабочих дня; легализация в МИД Таиланда добавляет ещё два–три дня. Каждое звено цепочки легализации фиксируется документально, чтобы избежать отказа.
Кто отвечает за точность перевода?
Так мы ведём дела русскоязычных клиентов: Перевод выполняет переводчик, зарегистрированный в Министерстве юстиции, и заверяет лицензированный нотариальный адвокат, чьи имя и номер лицензии указаны в документе. Каждое звено цепочки легализации фиксируется документально, чтобы избежать отказа.
Какие документы нужны для брака в Таиланде?
В соответствии с действующей консульской практикой Таиланда: Нужна справка о брачной правоспособности или аффидевит из посольства, её перевод на тайский язык и легализация — только после этого регистрация в ампхе. Пришлите скан — мы бесплатно проверим требования принимающего органа.
Примет ли посольство любой перевод?
Коротко и по существу: Требуется перевод установленного образца, а исходный документ должен быть предварительно легализован; свободный перевод не принимается. Подачу в МИД Таиланда и в посольство мы берём на себя.
Работаете ли вы с корпоративными документами?
Из нашей ежедневной практики в Бангкоке: Выписки из реестра, уставы, доверенности и финансовая отчётность переводятся и заверяются для использования за рубежом. Возможен срочный порядок; точную дату выдачи называем до начала работы.
Как получить окончательную стоимость?
В соответствии с действующей консульской практикой Таиланда: Достаточно скана всех страниц: расчёт зависит от количества страниц, языковой пары и уровня заверения, итоговая сумма сообщается до начала работы. Возможен срочный порядок; точную дату выдачи называем до начала работы.
Апостиль или консульская легализация?
Коротко и по существу: Таиланд присоединился к Гаагской конвенции, однако ряд органов по-прежнему требует полную консульскую цепочку, поэтому мы уточняем требование до начала работы. Каждое звено цепочки легализации фиксируется документально, чтобы избежать отказа.
Full service playbook — Notarial Services Attorney (Thailand)
Thailand has no common-law Notary Public. The equivalent is a Notarial Services Attorney, a lawyer certified and registered by the Lawyers Council of Thailand, whose certificates are accepted by most overseas authorities.
Responsible authority: Notarial Services Attorney registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand
Documents to prepare
- Original passport or Thai ID of every signatory (shown in person)
- The original document to be certified, all pages included
- The photocopy to be certified, if you need a certified true copy
- Any destination-specific form or power of attorney template
- Company affidavit issued within 6 months plus director ID, for corporate files
- An English translation where the source document is in Thai
Step-by-step process
- 1. Classify the certificate requiredsame day
Decide between signature witnessing, certified true copy, affidavit/oath, or certification of translation — the wording differs for each.
- 2. Attend and sign before the attorney15–30 minutes
Signatories sign in person with original ID; corporate files need the director named on the company affidavit.
- 3. Attorney signs, seals and logs the registersame day
A certificate is attached to the document and entered in the register kept under Lawyers Council rules.
- 4. Proofread before use1 business day
Verify names, dates, page count and binding against the destination's instructions.
- 5. Escalate to MFA or embassy if required3–10 business days
If the destination expects consular legalisation, forward immediately so the file does not age out.
Practitioner tips
- Ask the destination whether a Thai Notarial Services Attorney is accepted directly or must be followed by MFA legalisation.
- Certify multiple documents in one sitting to keep register numbers sequential and traceable.
- Photograph each seal or stamp after every stage so you can trace the file if follow-up is needed.
- Assemble the full set before filing once; batching is faster than submitting one document at a time.
- Scan every page to 300 dpi colour PDF before the originals leave your hands, in case a re-submission is required.
Cautions
- An attorney cannot certify a signature that was not made in their presence.
- Certification confirms the signature or the copy, not the truth of the content.
- Never unstaple or re-bind a certified bundle — breaking the seal usually voids it and restarts the process.
- Multi-page documents must be certified on every page where the rules require it, not only page one.
- Do not write on, amend, or correction-fluid an official document; request a fresh copy from the issuing office instead.
DIY vs NYC handling it
| Task | Do it yourself | NYC handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Checking destination rules | You read checklists and call around yourself | We verify the current requirements and hand you one list |
| Multi-agency running | Several days off work, different queues and hours | We run the whole chain end to end for you |
| Translation and certification | You source a translator and risk rejection | Translated, double-checked and certified in one package |
| Errors and re-filing | One mistake restarts the whole chain | Pre-submission checks at every stage reduce rejections |
| Tracking | You chase the status by phone | Stage-by-stage updates on LINE with photo evidence |
Prefer not to run it yourself? NYC can handle the whole chain
Every step above can be done alone, but it means several agencies, mismatched queues, and one mistake restarting the sequence. Our attorneys and translators cover requirement checks, document re-issue, certified translation and MFA or embassy legalisation, with status updates at each stage. Send photos of your documents for a free assessment first.
Compare the options before you decide
Thailand's notarial attorney vs a foreign Notary Public
Thailand has no Notary Public office in the international sense. Equivalent work is performed by a Notarial Services Attorney licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand.
| Aspect | Thailand: notarial attorney | Abroad: Notary Public |
|---|---|---|
| Who is authorised | An attorney licensed for notarial services by the Lawyers Council | A notary appointed by the state or a court |
| Scope | Signature certification, true copies, affidavits and translations where the law allows | Varies by jurisdiction |
| Usual next step | File with the Department of Consular Affairs, then Apostille or embassy | Usually the country's own central authority |
| In-person required | Yes — you sign in front of the certifying attorney | Generally yes |
Where the receiving body uses its own terminology, follow that wording rather than claiming an equivalent title.
Apostille route vs embassy legalisation route
The destination country decides whether a file ends at an Apostille or still needs the embassy. Confirm the country's convention status first: the two routes use a different order and different paperwork.
| Aspect | Apostille route | Embassy legalisation route |
|---|---|---|
| When it applies | Destination is a party to the Apostille Convention | Destination does not accept an Apostille |
| Final authority | Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs | The destination country's embassy or consulate in Thailand |
| Typical number of steps | Fewer — the chain ends at the central authority | More — central authority first, then the embassy |
| Approximate timeframe | Shorter, still subject to the authority's queue | Longer, because the embassy appointment queue is added |
| Common rejection cause | Translation does not match the original, or the copy was not issued by the authority | The embassy's own form or language requirement was not followed |
Verify the current convention status and embassy conditions before filing.
Filing it yourself vs letting NYC run the chain
Every step can be done alone. This table compares the real workload of each option so the decision rests on time and rejection risk rather than marketing claims.
| Aspect | Do it yourself | NYC handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Checking destination rules | Read each authority's notice yourself and confirm by phone | Checked before you start, with the order the receiving authority accepts |
| Travel | Several agencies with queues that rarely line up in one day | Documents move by courier or online except where the law requires you in person |
| Rejection risk | One mismatch — a name spelled differently from the passport — restarts the chain | Names, dates and stamps are cross-checked before every filing |
| Status tracking | You follow up with each authority | Status updates at each stage, and we handle the fix if a file is returned |
| Advisory role | No one to compare options when your case falls outside the manual | You get advice on the options before work starts, not just execution |
Government fees and timeframes change; ask for an assessment of your own case before you start.
What the common mistakes actually cost
Almost every failure in notarial signature certification by a licensed attorney happens during preparation, not at the counter, and the real cost is the TIME needed to repeat the chain. Below is what each mistake comes from, how long it typically adds, and how to avoid it.
| Mistake | Why it happens | Time cost | How to prevent it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planning without allowing for public and embassy holidays | Embassies close on both Thai and home-country holidays, so the real calendar is shorter than it looks. | Typically adds 3–9 working days around a long holiday period. | Check the holiday calendar of every body involved before fixing a travel or filing date. |
| Using an old copy instead of a freshly issued one | Many destinations accept documents issued within the last 3–6 months only, and some require a clean, legibly sealed reissue. | Typically adds 5–15 working days for the trip back to the district registrar. | Check the destination's freshness rule first, then request several certified copies in a single visit. |
| Self-translating, or using a translator the destination does not recognise | Some countries accept only registered translators, others only translations certified by a Thai government body. | Typically adds 4–10 working days for a fresh translation and a restarted chain. | Ask the destination exactly which form of translation it accepts, then match the translator to that form from the start. |
| Removing staples or separating pages after certification | The certification is attached to the bound set; once separated the set counts as incomplete. | Typically adds 3–7 working days to re-certify the set. | Scan first, then keep the originals in a rigid envelope without detaching anything. |
| Booking the wrong service channel or appointment type | Each channel has its own queue and document conditions; the wrong one means booking again. | Typically adds 2–14 working days depending on appointment availability that month. | Confirm the service type and the appointment date in advance and keep at least one spare week. |
Deep timeline: what can run in parallel
The windows below are approximate and depend on each authority's queue. Stages marked as parallel can start alongside the previous stage — that is where the total calendar time is actually reduced.
- 1. Document review and certificate wordingsame day
We confirm whether you need a signature certification, a true-copy certification, or a statement of fact — each uses different wording.
- 2. Signing appointment in person1–2 working days
The signatory must appear with an original ID or passport at the moment of signing.
- 3. Certificate issued and sealedsame day
The certificate is issued with a register number and logged under Lawyers Council rules.
- 4. Onward legalisation, if the destination requires it3–10 working dayscan run in parallel
For overseas use the file may still pass the consular department and then the embassy, in that order.
Note: all windows are general estimates, not guarantees. Actual timing depends on how complete your file is and on the queues at the authorities involved.
We work as advisers, not only as a document-running agency
Our team has worked on documents, translation and legalisation for more than 15 years, combining notarial attorneys licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand with translators the receiving authorities accept. Every case starts with advice on the correct route and only then moves to execution — we do not simply run whatever is handed to us.
Before we start — mapping the document route
We confirm whether your file ends at an Apostille or still needs the embassy, whether a freshly issued copy is required, and which form of translation the receiving authority accepts. This is where most time is saved, because it is where most people choose wrongly and restart.
While preparing — consistency checks
We match the spelling of your name against the passport, check the issue date against the validity window the destination applies, verify stamps and signatures, and confirm the translation matches the original line by line.
While filing — coordination with the authorities
We file in the order each authority expects, follow the queue, and report status as it moves. If an authority asks for more paperwork, you hear about it immediately, together with the options for fixing it.
After delivery — practical guidance
We explain which bodies this set can be filed with, how to store the originals, and how many certified sets to request up front if you expect to use them again, so you do not repeat the whole chain later.
Cases where advice up front changes the outcome
- Documents have a limited validity window and every item must still be valid on the day of filing.
- The name on an older document does not match the current passport because of a name change or a different transliteration.
- The applicant is upcountry or abroad, so the power of attorney and courier plan must be arranged carefully.
- Documents are needed for several countries at once, each with a different order of certification.
If you are unsure which route your case takes, send photos of the documents and name the destination country or authority. We map the sequence and the paperwork first; you then decide whether to run it yourself or hand it over.
