Thai Notarial Services Attorneys are certified by the Lawyers Council of Thailand under mandatory CPD renewal. Our team maintains active credentials with additional training on newly-acceded Hague Apostille states (Thailand joined 25 July 2024).
Immigration case: An Affidavit of Support for a US student visa needed notary block wording aligned to both Thai council rules and US consular expectations. We issued a dual-template certificate accepted on first submission.
Common misconception: notarisation does not certify document contents — it certifies the signer's identity or the copy's fidelity to an original. For content veracity you need a sworn affidavit, which is a separate act with different fee and wording.
Transparent fee breakdown: attorney fee THB 500-1,500 per act (by complexity), MFA authentication THB 400 per seal, MFA-apostille THB 800 per document, embassy legalisation THB 800-3,500 (country-dependent). Itemised receipts always issued — no hidden fees.
Notarial systems compared: Thailand uses Notarial Services Attorneys under the Lawyers Council, differing from US state-appointed Notaries Public, UK Notaries Public via the Faculty Office, and German Notare as a distinct profession — all interoperable through the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention.
Thailand does not have Notaries Public in the civil-law European sense. Instead, the Lawyers Council of Thailand licenses selected practising lawyers as Notarial Services Attorneys (NSA) empowered to certify signatures, administer oaths, certify true copies, and issue notarial certificates recognised by most Common Law jurisdictions on a reciprocity basis. Each NSA holds a registration number, an official seal, and must record every act in a Notarial Register.
The authority derives from the Lawyers Council Regulation on the Registration of Notarial Services Attorneys B.E. 2551, as amended. NSAs may perform: certification of signatures, certification of true copies, administration of oaths, affidavits, powers of attorney for overseas use, statutory declarations, and certificates of no impediment support letters. NSAs are frequently accepted by embassies in Bangkok for documents destined abroad.
Send us the document by email or LINE, along with a scan of the signer's ID or passport. We check which of the 66 notarial acts applies, quote a fixed price within 30 minutes, and book an in-person signing (or mobile notary within Bangkok metro). The lawyer verifies identity, witnesses the signature, applies the seal, and logs the act. Standard turnaround: 60–90 minutes on site.
Original document; national ID (Thai) or passport with valid entry stamp (foreigner); company affidavit no older than 90 days plus board resolution when signing as an authorised person; draft wording for affidavits so counsel can align the jurisdiction clause; consent documents where minors or spouses are involved.
Fees combine (a) the lawyer's professional fee, (b) drafting when the client has no template, and (c) mobile / after-hours logistics. Baseline notarial acts start at THB 1,500–3,000; complex affidavits, cross-border commercial contracts, and multi-signer packages price higher. Every quote is itemised — no hidden add-ons.
Sending a Thai-notarised document straight to a Hague Apostille country without first passing MFA legalisation is the number-one rejection cause. Other frequent failures: signing before meeting the notary, using an off-the-shelf affidavit that references the wrong jurisdiction, or asking for a certified true copy without producing the original.
Destination countries such as Germany, France, and Japan inspect the notarial certificate wording, seal placement, and signature block carefully. Attaching a copy of the notary's lawyer licence and a Bar Council attestation up-front prevents document rejection at the receiving end and shortens the round-trip by weeks.
