Domain Name Transfer Agreement Certification in Thailand
Most generic domains move between registrars with an auth code and no notary. .th domains follow THNIC procedures, which may ask for company or trademark documents. Use a notary only when the recipient asks for a certified signature or copy.
Certification scope and key checks
Check the registrar's or THNIC's requirements before preparing documents.
A sale agreement should state the domain, price and when the auth code is delivered.
A notary does not confirm the seller controls the domain; check the registrar.
Documents to prepare
- Registrar/THNIC requirements

Overseas use: confirm the recipient’s route
Notarization is not required for every public record, and some uses need no onward legalisation. Confirm whether the recipient needs an original, copy, translation or specific certification before arranging MFA and embassy steps where applicable.
Thailand deposited its accession on 30 June 2026. The Apostille Convention is scheduled to enter into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027. Do not assume Thai Apostilles are available before then. Even after entry into force, document scope and treaty relations with the destination must be checked.
Questions before booking
- Does a .com transfer need a notary?
- Usually not; it uses an auth code.
- What does .co.th need?
- Check THNIC's current list; it varies by domain type.
- Does notarisation prevent fraud?
- No; use escrow or verify in the registrar system.
- Are MFA and embassy legalisation always needed?
- No. Ask the recipient to confirm the certification, language and onward steps. Notarization, translation and legalisation are distinct; do not perform every step automatically.
- How are fees and timing assessed?
- After reviewing the form, copies, signers, language and onward steps, we provide a quote and indicative schedule before work. Authority queues and outcomes are not guaranteed.
- What should I send before booking?
- Send the record type, destination country, receiving authority and its checklist through a direct contact channel. Redact personal information unnecessary for the initial enquiry.
