Notary Public for Financial Statement
งบการเงิน (Financial Statement) · § financial
Before you proceed
Certify the requested financial-statement copy. Distinguish filed, audited and management accounts; notarization is not an audit or a guarantee of financial health.
Turnaround: Estimated after document review; consular and embassy steps depend on those offices.
Document scope and limits of certification
Financial statements and the auditor’s report are related but serve different roles. Statements present period-specific financial information; the report expresses the audit opinion. A recipient may request the full set including notes or a DBD copy.
Notary certification concerns the agreed act, such as comparing a copy with the presented document. It is not a new audit. Questions about figures or accounting standards should be addressed separately by the accountant or auditor.
What to prepare before an appointment
- Full statements and notes for the requested period
- Auditor’s report if required by the recipient
- Filed-record evidence or electronic verification details and translation language
Certification steps requested by the recipient
Identify the period and required version → collect statements, notes and any relevant auditor’s report → check originals or official copies → certify and translate as requested.
Typical use cases
- Supporting a credit application
- Providing financial records for tender or counterparty checks
Common pitfalls
- Do not send only a summary when full statements and notes are requested.
- Copy certification does not verify accounting figures.
- Do not describe management accounts as audited; check currency and reporting period in translations.

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.
