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?

Since 2 November 2024 Thailand joined the Hague Apostille Convention. For the 125+ 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?

Apostille chain: 5-8 business days. Consular (embassy) chain: 8-15 business days depending on the destination embassy queue in Bangkok.

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?

Absolutely. We handle end-to-end via international courier (DHL/FedEx). You mail us the documents, we run the chain, and ship back to any address worldwide.
