Notarised single-status affidavit / statutory declaration

Thai notarial services attorney stamping a notarised document
Thai notarial services attorney stamping a notarised document

An affidavit is a sworn statement made in person before the attorney, distinct from the single-status certificate issued by a Thai district office from the civil registry database. Several jurisdictions require both, so we check the receiving authority's document list before drafting. The jurat records date, time, place, identification method and the oath administered; responsibility for the truth of the statement remains with the deponent. For overseas use before 28 February 2027 the document still needs Department of Consular Affairs legalisation followed by the destination embassy, because Thailand cannot issue an apostille until the Convention enters into force on that date.

Frequently asked questions

Can an attorney's single-status affidavit be used to marry at a Thai district office?

District offices usually require a status document issued by the foreigner's embassy and legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs. Attorney affidavits are more often used abroad; confirm with the district office or embassy first.

Does the attorney certify that I am single?

No. The attorney certifies that you swore and signed in their presence. The truth of the statement remains your responsibility.

How long is an affidavit valid?

Thai law sets no fixed validity, but many recipients only accept documents issued within a stated period. Ask the recipient before booking.

When is notarised single-status affidavit / statutory declaration used and what do I receive?

An affidavit is a sworn statement made in person before the attorney, distinct from the single-status certificate issued by a Thai district office from the civil registry database. You receive: affidavit ฉบับจริงพร้อม jurat และตราประทับ · สแกน PDF · คำแปลไทย-อังกฤษ (ถ้าสั่งเพิ่ม)

What do fees and timing depend on for notarised single-status affidavit / statutory declaration?

Both are quoted after document review and depend on the number of documents, signers, language and any onward legalisation. Department of Consular Affairs and embassy queues are not included.

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.
