Common mistakes to avoid
- Submitting a copy instead of the original — the notary must physically inspect the original.
- Pre-signing the document — Lawyers Council rules require signing in the notary's physical presence.
- Submitting notary-only certificates — most destinations require MFA Apostille or embassy legalization.
- Bringing an expired passport or Thai ID — notaries cannot verify identity from expired documents.
