About Jurat / Sworn Statement
Notarial certification for "Jurat / Sworn Statement" (Jurat (สาบานต่อหน้า)) performed by a Thai-Bar-registered Notarial Services Attorney — the specific seal that Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all foreign consulates in Bangkok, and every Hague Apostille authority accept as the pre-requisite Thai-side attestation. Documents are pre-vetted before the signing appointment to prevent downstream Request for Further Information; our protocol for Affidavit USCIS and I-864 Affidavit of Support includes tailored guidance on the exact chain of legalisation you will need in the destination country. Fees start at THB 1,200 with a standard turnaround of 1 วันทำการ. Price covers the notarial seal, the mandatory ledger entry in the attorney's official register, and country-specific next-step advice (MFA / Apostille / embassy). Note: บริการJurat (สาบานต่อหน้า) (Jurat / Sworn Statement) โดยทนายผู้ทำคำรับรองลายมือชื่อและเอกสาร ขึ้นทะเบียนสภาทนายความ — เริ่ม ฿1,200

Frequently asked questions
+How much does Jurat / Sworn Statement cost?
Fees start at THB 1,200 and are capped at THB 2,700 per set — inclusive of the notarial seal, ledger entry, and country-specific next-step guidance for MFA / Apostille / embassy legalisation.
+How long does it take?
1 วันทำการ from the moment you arrive with originals. Same-day express is available on request at a surcharge.
+Do foreign consulates accept your notary seal?
Yes. Our notarial attorney is registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand; the seal is the exact pre-requisite that Thailand's MFA, every Hague Apostille authority, and every foreign consulate in Bangkok expects on the Thai side.
+Do I have to bring the original document?
Yes — Lawyers Council rules require in-person signing before the notary. Bring the original document plus your Thai ID or passport to the office at the booked slot.
+Can you file directly with MFA / Apostille afterwards?
We do. We routinely walk documents through the Consular Affairs Department of Thailand's MFA (2–3 business days) and liaise with destination consulates for the follow-on step.
+Why NYC?
We operate an in-house Notarial Services Attorney alongside a NAATI CPN translator — one office produces the signed translation, the notarial certification, and the MFA/Apostille packet, cutting 3–5 days off the typical relay chain.

Documents to prepare
- Valid original passport or Thai ID card of every signatory
- The original document to be notarised — do not sign in advance; sign before the attorney
- English translation when the source document is in Thai and the receiving party needs English
- Company affidavit issued within 6 months plus director ID for corporate signing
- Power of attorney with ID copies if someone else attends on your behalf
- Any destination-specific form supplied by the bank, university or overseas authority
Why cases get rejected
- Signing before meeting the attorney is the single most common rejection cause
- One character of name mismatch against the passport can void the whole set
- A notary certifies signatures and observed facts, not that the content is true
- Some destinations require MFA and embassy layers; the notary stage alone is not enough
- Prepare separate sets per destination instead of circulating one original
How the work actually runs
- 1. Send the files for a free review
Share photos or a PDF of every page on LINE. We confirm which notarial act the receiving party actually needs and flag anything that would be rejected.

- 2. Prepare and proof the wording
We align name spelling with the passport letter by letter and lay out space for the seal and notarial certificate.

The attorney signs, seals and attaches an English notarial certificate, ribbon-bound as the destination requires.
