Frequently asked questions
- Which corporate documents most often need certification for cross-border filing?
- Board and shareholder resolutions, corporate powers of attorney, share transfer instruments, MOA and AOA copies, DBD company affidavits, and joint-venture or distribution agreements signed for use outside Thailand.
- Does the DBD affidavit itself need to be certified?
- The affidavit issued by the Department of Business Development is already an official Thai document. What normally needs certification is its translation, before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalises it and the destination embassy adds its endorsement.
- Who must sign on behalf of the company?
- The directors named as authorised signatories in the current DBD affidavit, signing in the manner the affidavit prescribes, including the company seal where the affidavit requires it. A mismatch here is the most common reason a filing is rejected abroad.
- How recent must the company documents be?
- Most receiving authorities require a company affidavit issued within the last three to six months. We confirm the exact age limit with the receiving authority before starting the chain.
- Can you handle documents for several group entities at once?
- Yes. Send the entity list and the target jurisdictions and we will map one chain per entity, then run them in parallel under a single point of contact.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Thailand have notaries public?
- Thailand uses Notarial Services Attorneys registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand for notarial acts within their permitted scope. Acceptance abroad depends on the recipient. Ask which certifier, wording and any additional authentication it requires; notarial certification is not the same as an Apostille.
- What documents can a Notarial Services Attorney certify?
- Commonly certified items include signatures on powers of attorney, affidavits and statutory declarations, certified true copies of passports and corporate documents, company resolutions and share transfer forms, sponsorship and consent letters, and the identity of a signatory for foreign banks, universities and courts. The attorney certifies the signing act or copy fidelity — not the truth of the content.
- Do I have to sign in person?
- Yes. The attorney must see the signatory in person together with the original passport or Thai ID before certifying a signature, which is the core safeguard of the service. Remote or scanned signatures cannot be certified. Mobile appointments at your office, condominium lobby or a nearby café are available if you cannot come to ours.
- How much does notarial certification cost and how fast is it?
- Attorney notarial certification starts at the current official rate per document, with the final price depending on the number of documents, signatories and whether the appointment is mobile or out of hours. The certification itself is completed during the appointment; only the subsequent MFA and embassy steps add working days.
