Notarised personal power of attorney

We draft and notarise narrow-scope powers of attorney with itemised authority and an expiry date, because banks and foreign authorities routinely reject open-ended instruments. The document is issued bilingually in a single instrument so both the Thai attorney and the overseas attorney-in-fact can read it. Where the destination works in another language, a translation is annexed and the translator signs a certificate before the attorney at the same appointment. Note that registration of rights at a Thai Land Office requires the Land Department's own power-of-attorney form (Tor Dor 21), not a notarised POA alone.

A Notarial Services Attorney certificate attests that the signatory appeared in person and signed on the stated date and place. It does not certify that the content of the document is true or complete.

Frequently asked questions
Can one POA be used with several institutions?
Sometimes, but many banks and land offices insist on their own form, so separate instruments are often safer.
Can I revoke a notarised POA?
The grantor can revoke it under the law governing the instrument, and should notify the attorney-in-fact and every recipient in writing.
Does the POA need translating?
It depends on the language the recipient accepts. If translation is needed, bind it to the original before certification.

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.
