What Is a Notary Public in Thailand?

In Thailand, notarial services are generally performed by lawyers who have completed the required training and are registered as Notarial Services Attorneys.

A Notarial Services Attorney may certify documents, witness signatures and verify copies for various legal and international purposes.

Clients often search for a “Notary Public” because this is the term commonly used internationally. In Thailand, however, the service is usually provided by a qualified lawyer authorized to perform notarial functions.

Some documents may also require further legalization by:

1. A Notarial Services Attorney

3. The relevant embassy or consulate

The exact process depends on the destination country and document type.
