Notary Public for Joint Venture Agreement

Questions before certification

What is certification of Joint Venture Agreement for?

Certify the requested JV agreement with party and authority checks. Notarization is not BOI approval, a foreign-business licence or company registration.

Can a certified JV agreement replace BOI approval?

No. Promotion and licences are decisions of the competent authorities. A certified agreement is only supporting evidence where requested.

Which certification steps are needed?

Confirm the JV structure and recipient → check the agreement, annexes and representative authority → certify copies or signatures as requested → handle BOI, licences and registration separately.

What should I check before an appointment?

A contractual JV and a jointly owned entity are different structures. · Notarization does not authorize foreign business or grant investment promotion. · Check governing law, arbitration seat and court provisions for consistency; labels do not replace an agreed dispute mechanism.

How are timing and fees assessed?

Send the recipient, country, form and required documents for a free initial enquiry. We confirm scope and a quote after reviewing the documents. Timing depends on the work and relevant authorities; completion dates and acceptance are not guaranteed.

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.
