Frequently asked questions
Q: Is a Thai Notary Public recognized abroad?
A: Yes — Notarial Services Attorneys are licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand under the Ministry of Justice. Documents further legalized by the Thai MFA + destination-country Apostille or embassy are recognized in 195+ countries.
Q: Do I need to be physically present to notarize a Signature Verification / Acknowledgment?
A: Yes. Under Thai Notarial Services regulations (2003) the signer must appear in person before the notary with a valid passport. Online notarization is not yet available in Thailand.
Q: Can I get the document translated and notarized in one visit?
A: Yes. We provide certified translation (Thai/English/40+ languages) plus notarization in a single appointment. Turnaround: 1 business days.
Q: What is the difference between Notary and MFA Legalization?
A: Notary attests the signature/copy. MFA (Consular Department) then authenticates the notary's seal. For non-Hague destinations, the destination-country embassy adds a third layer. Since Dec 25, 2025 Thailand is a Hague Apostille member — one Apostille replaces the embassy step for 125+ countries.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: Signature Verification / Acknowledgment starts at THB 1,000 for notary only. Full chain (Notary + MFA + Apostille or Embassy) ranges THB 6,000–15,000 depending on destination and number of pages.
Q: Which countries accept Thai Apostille?
A: All 125 Hague Convention member states including US, UK, EU, Australia, Japan, Korea, most of Latin America. Non-Hague countries (e.g. UAE, China, Vietnam) still require dual legalization via embassy.
Q: ลงชื่อเป็นภาษาไทยได้ไหม?
A: ได้ · Notary จะระบุใน Certificate ว่า 'signed in Thai script' · ต่างประเทศยอมรับ
