MFA Legalisation Service for Foreigners — Thai Consular Authentication (English Service)

Legalisation is the process by which the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Department of Consular Affairs) certifies that a Thai-issued document — and any attached translation — bears genuine government signatures and seals. Once an MFA stamp is attached, the document can be presented to the destination country's embassy in Bangkok for final authentication and used abroad.

Thailand acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention but full operational rollout is still in progress. Until then, the dual-step process (MFA legalisation + destination-embassy authentication) remains required for most receiving countries. We monitor the rollout and will switch you to single-step Apostille as soon as it is available for your destination.

Yes, the MFA accepts walk-in applicants. However, the queue at Chaengwattana is long (2–4 hours), staff respond primarily in Thai, and any error in the translation, signature, or attachment results in rejection and a return trip. Our service handles all formatting, queueing, and corrections so you do not need to attend.

Some authorities (e.g., GMC UK, ECFMG USA, AHPRA Australia for professional credentials) require direct dispatch from the source. We coordinate sealed-envelope dispatch with the issuing Thai body (university, council, ministry) so the chain-of-custody requirement is satisfied — and provide you a sealed certified copy for your records.
