2. Q658. Can a Thai Notary verify a Police Clearance Certificate?

   The attorney can certify a copy of a Royal Thai Police clearance, but for use abroad the usual route is translation, MFA certification and embassy legalization, without a notary unless the recipient asks. See pcscenter.sb.police.go.th.

3. Q785. What is an affidavit of single status and when is it needed?

   It is a sworn statement that you are free to marry, taken before the attorney.

Our Notarial Services Attorneys review the draft before the signing appointment. Call +66-83-249-4999 · LINE @NYC168 · contact@nyclegal.co.th

4. Q804. My name is spelled differently on two documents. What can be done?

   An affidavit of one and the same person, sworn before the attorney and accompanied by certified copies of both documents, is the standard remedy. Acceptance remains at the discretion of the receiving authority. Our Notarial Services Attorneys review the draft before the signing appointment. Call +66-83-249-4999 · LINE @NYC168 · contact@nyclegal.co.th

5. Q805. Can you notarise university transcripts and degree certificates?

   Yes, against the original or an institution-certified copy. Many universities additionally require the transcript to be sent directly by the issuing institution, so run both channels in parallel to avoid delay. Our Notarial Services Attorneys review the draft before the signing appointment. Call +66-83-249-4999 · LINE @NYC168 · contact@nyclegal.co.th

6. Q806. Can you certify a medical certificate for use abroad?

   Yes. The issuing physician signs and states their professional licence number, and we attest that signature or certify the original as a true copy. Some destinations additionally require certification by the Medical Council of Thailand. Our Notarial Services Attorneys review the draft before the signing appointment.

7. Q1220. Should a multi-page document be bound or certified page by page?

   A single multi-page instrument should be bound with the seal straddling the page joins, which prevents page substitution. Unrelated documents destined for different authorities should stay separate, since binding forces the whole bundle through the chain together.

8. Q1224. What must a valid Thai notarial certificate contain?

   At minimum the date and place of the act, the identity of the signatory and how identity was verified, a statement of what the attorney did — witnessed a signature, compared with an original, administered an oath — plus the attorney's signature, seal and registration number. Omissions are a frequent rejection ground. Our Notarial Services Attorneys map the full certification chain before any filing starts. Call +66-83-249-4999 · LINE @NYC168 · contact@nyclegal.co.th

9. Q1225. How long does a notarial certificate stay usable?

   Thai law sets no expiry, but recipients commonly impose a freshness window of three to six months, particularly for company and financial documents. Sequence the work so certification finishes close to the filing date. Our Notarial Services Attorneys map the full certification chain before any filing starts.

10. Q1227. Can I sign at home and have it notarised afterwards?

    No. Witnessing a signature means the attorney saw it made. A pre-signed page must be re-executed in person; a backdated certificate is not a lawful remedy and exposes the attorney to professional liability.

11. Q1228. Why can a copy of a copy not be certified?

    A certified true copy asserts comparison against an original produced at the appointment. With only a copy available there is nothing to compare. Obtaining a fresh certified extract from the issuing office is usually faster than fixing a later rejection. Our Notarial Services Attorneys map the full certification chain before any filing starts.

12. Q1229. My passport expires next month — can I still sign?

    Identification must be valid on the day of the act. If a renewal is under way, use another currently valid official identity document and tell us in advance so the certificate records identification correctly.

13. Q1231. The recipient wants a 'sworn statement' — does Thailand have one?

    Functionally yes: a declaration sworn or affirmed before a registered Notarial Services Attorney. The wording must state that the declarant swears or affirms, and should include any penalty-of-perjury clause the destination requires.

14. Q1232. Can the attorney certify that the contents of my document are true?

    No — that exceeds the professional scope. The workable equivalent is for the person with knowledge of the facts to make a declaration of truth and swear it before the attorney, who certifies the act of swearing.

15. Q1256. What is a 'certified copy of passport' in Thai practice?

    The physical passport is produced, the attorney copies the data page and any pages the recipient requires, compares them with the book and issues a certificate of true copy with date and registration number. Tell us in advance if visa or entry-stamp pages must be included. Our Notarial Services Attorneys map the full certification chain before any filing starts. Call +66-83-249-4999 · LINE @NYC168 · contact@nyclegal.co.th

16. Q1257. Can a document downloaded from a government portal be certified?

    It can be certified as a true copy of the document printed from the portal, with the source, print date and any verification code recorded. Some recipients insist on a document bearing the issuing authority's own seal, so confirm before relying on a printout.
