01

What Thai notaries can (and cannot) do

Thailand is not a party to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention. Thai notaries certify signatures, copies, translations, sworn declarations and identity — but foreign use almost always requires an additional MFA (Consular Affairs) legalization plus the destination embassy stamp. NYC handles the full three-step chain in-house.
  • Signature certification (attesting the signer's identity and free will)
  • Certified True Copy (comparing against the original)
  • Certification of translation accuracy
  • Affidavits, statutory declarations, sworn statements
  • Notice of protest, oaths, and specific commercial acknowledgements
02

Documents we notarise most often

Every document is reviewed for wording, jurisdiction, and destination-country requirements before signing. If the receiving authority requires specific language (e.g. USCIS Form I-864, UK spouse-visa declaration, Australian Form 888), we prepare the notarial certificate accordingly.
  • Power of Attorney (real estate, banking, litigation, corporate)
  • Affidavits of single status, income, sponsorship, or support
  • Passport / ID copy attestation
  • Certified translations for embassy legalization
  • Company documents: board resolutions, shareholder registers, incumbency
  • Academic transcripts, diplomas, TESOL/TEFL certificates
  • Consent letters for minors travelling
03

Three-step chain for overseas use

Because Thailand does not issue apostilles, NYC delivers the exact chain foreign authorities require: (1) NYC notary signs and seals; (2) MFA Consular Affairs Division legalises the notary signature; (3) the destination embassy or consulate in Bangkok adds its own legalization. We handle all runners, courier, and queue booking.

Frequently asked questions

Is a Thai notary equivalent to a US or UK notary?+

Functionally yes for signature and copy certification. However Thailand does not issue apostilles, so overseas authorities usually require MFA + embassy legalization on top of the notary seal.

Can you notarise a document written in English only?+

Yes. All NYC notaries are bilingual attorneys registered with the Lawyers Council; documents in English, Thai, or English-Thai bilingual are all accepted.

Do you offer remote / online notarisation?+

Thailand does not yet recognise remote online notarisation under law. We do offer video-witnessed drafting review before you attend in person, and mobile visits to your hotel or office.

Can you help with the full embassy legalization after notarising?+

Yes — that is the most common request. Ask for a bundle quote covering notary + MFA + destination embassy.
