When you need Minor Travel Consent
Minor Travel Consent is required whenever a foreign authority, bank, university, registry, or court needs evidence that the document — or your signature on it — has been verified by an independent legal officer in Thailand. Typical scenarios:
- เด็กเดินทางต่างประเทศคนเดียว / กับผู้ปกครองเพียงฝ่ายเดียว
What to bring
Thai notarial law requires the signer to appear in person before the attorney with original identification. For Minor Travel Consent you should bring:
- สูติบัตรเด็ก + บัตรพ่อ-แม่ + Passport
If you are unsure whether your document is ready for notarisation — for instance, the draft is missing a clause the foreign authority requires — send a scan to LINE @nycli and we will review it before you travel to the office. Reviews take fewer than 30 minutes during business hours.
How Minor Travel Consent works at NYC Legal
1. Send the document via LINE
Message @nycli with a clear scan or photo of the document and tell us the destination country. Our paralegal confirms the correct act, fee, and signing slot within 30 minutes during business hours.
2. Book your signing slot
Choose an in-office slot at Lat Phrao 95, Bangkok (Mon–Sat 09:00–18:00) or request the Notarial Services Attorney to travel to your office, hotel, or hospital anywhere in Bangkok for an additional ฿1,500.
3. Sign before the attorney
Bring your passport (and any documents listed above). The attorney verifies your identity, confirms you understand the document, witnesses your signature, and affixes the notarial seal and certificate.
4. Collect or courier
Most notarisations are completed in one business day. Pick up the original at our office or have it delivered by EMS, Grab, or Lalamove anywhere in Thailand. Add MFA Apostille (฿2,500) if the document is going to a Hague Convention country.

Frequently asked questions
Who can perform Minor Travel Consent in Thailand?
Only a Notarial Services Attorney — a Thai lawyer licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand to act as a notary public — may perform Minor Travel Consent. Thailand does not have a separate notary profession; the function is delegated to specially licensed attorneys. NYC Legal & Notary Service has six such attorneys on staff with over 100 years of combined practice.
How long does Minor Travel Consent take?
1 วันทำการ for the standard process. Same-day service is available for an additional ฿1,000 if you send the document before 11:00 and bring valid ID to the signing. Walk-ins are accepted Monday to Saturday, 09:00–18:00.
What is the price for Minor Travel Consent?
Minor Travel Consent starts at ฿1,500 for a single document. Add ฿1,500 for the attorney to travel to your office or hotel within Bangkok. Add ฿2,500 for downstream MFA Apostille (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) so the document is valid in Hague Convention countries.
Will my home country accept a Thai notarisation?
Yes. Notarisations by a Thai Notarial Services Attorney are recognised by US embassies, UK Home Office, Australian DHA, Singapore ICA, EU consulates, BVI/Cayman corporate registries, and Fortune-500 HR departments worldwide. For full international recognition, add the MFA Apostille (or embassy legalization for non-Hague countries) — we handle the entire chain.
Do I need to attend in person?
Yes. Thai notarial law requires the signer to appear in person before the attorney. Remote / online notarisation is not legally recognised in Thailand. If you cannot travel to our Lat Phrao 95 office, the attorney can travel to your Bangkok address for an additional ฿1,500.
What documents must I bring?
Always bring your original passport (or Thai national ID for Thai signers). For Minor Travel Consent, you also need: สูติบัตรเด็ก + บัตรพ่อ-แม่ + Passport. If your draft is in English we will review it before signing; if it is in another language, please bring a certified translation.

Regulatory update 2025-2026
Thailand Apostille — now in force
Regulatory update — 15 Dec 2025: Thailand's accession to the Hague Apostille Convention took effect. The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Chaeng Watthana) now issues an Apostille directly on notarised documents for 30+ Hague member states, replacing the prior consular legalization chain. Non-Hague destinations (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan) still require embassy legalization. Government fee ฿200/doc, 2–3 business days. Source: Thailand MFA & Ministerial Regulation B.E. 2568.

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.

Recommended next-step services
Minor Travel Consent rarely stands alone — pick the correct next step so the document is legally usable at the destination.
MFA / Thai consular legalization
After notarisation, add MFA Apostille (Hague) or Legalization (non-Hague) so the document is usable abroad.
Destination embassy legalization
Non-Hague destinations still need embassy legalization on top of MFA.
Certified / sworn translation
Most documents must be translated by a sworn translator into the destination language before notarisation.
NAATI translation (Australia)
For Australia, DHA requires NAATI-certified translation paired with the notarised original + Apostille.
