Embassy Legalization & Apostille Service from Thailand

Frequently Asked Questions

What is document legalization?

Legalization is the official process that makes a document issued in Thailand legally recognized in a foreign country. It involves Notary certification, Ministry of Foreign Affairs authentication, and — for non-Hague countries — the destination country's embassy.

Apostille vs Embassy legalization — which do I need?

Thailand deposited its instrument of accession on 30 June 2026 and the Apostille Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027. For the 130+ member states, a single MFA Apostille replaces the embassy step. Countries outside the convention still require the classic Notary → MFA → Embassy chain.

How long does the full process take?

We confirm a timeline after reviewing your documents. The Department of Consular Affairs and the destination embassy each work to their own queues, so total time varies. Thailand's Apostille membership takes effect on 28 February 2027; until then most documents still need MFA legalisation plus embassy legalisation. Verify current requirements with the official authorities.

Do you offer English-language service?

Yes — all our Notarial Services Attorneys are bilingual (Thai/English) and we also cover Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Certified translations in 30+ languages.

Can I use your service from outside Thailand?
