What Is a Notary Service?

A notary service is a professional service used to verify or certify documents, signatures, copies, identities, declarations, and other document-related matters.

Notarial services are commonly required when documents will be used for official, legal, commercial, educational, immigration, or international purposes.

Examples include documents used for:

• overseas business transactions;
• foreign property matters;
• immigration applications;
• university admissions;
• employment abroad;
• banking transactions;
• powers of attorney;
• company registration or corporate matters;
• court or legal proceedings;
• embassy or consular procedures.

The exact form of certification depends on the document and the requirements of the organization receiving it.

Before making an appointment, it is useful to confirm whether the receiving organization requires notarization, certification by a lawyer, legalization, consular authentication, or another form of document authentication.

Notary Service by a Licensed Thai Lawyer

Thailand does not use exactly the same notary system as some countries where a Notary Public is appointed as a separate public profession.

In Thailand, notarial services are commonly performed by qualified lawyers who have completed specific training relating to notarial practice.

Our office provides notary service by a licensed Thai lawyer and Notarial Services Attorney for clients who require professional document certification.

We can assist with reviewing the document, checking the type of certification required, witnessing signatures where appropriate, certifying copies, and advising on possible additional legalization requirements.

If you are not sure what type of certification is needed, you can contact us before visiting.

Call 083-884-3287 for document checking and appointment information.

Signature Certification

One of the most common forms of notary service is signature certification.

A client may be required to sign a document in the presence of a lawyer or Notarial Services Attorney so that the signature can be properly witnessed and certified.

Documents that may require signature certification include:

• Power of Attorney;
• Affidavit;
• Declaration;
• Consent Letter;
• Authorization Letter;
• Company Resolution;
• Business Agreement;
• banking documents;
• immigration documents;
• property-related documents;
• corporate documents.

In many cases, you should not sign the document before attending the appointment if the receiving organization requires the signature to be witnessed.

Please contact us first if you are unsure.

Certified True Copy Service

We also provide certified true copy services.

A certified true copy may be required when an organization needs a copy of an original document together with confirmation that the copy corresponds with the original.

Documents commonly presented for certification include:

• passport;
• national identification card;
• birth certificate;
• marriage certificate;
• educational certificate;
• academic transcript;
• employment certificate;
• company registration document;
• shareholder document;
• director document;
• business license;
• official certificate.

Clients should normally bring the original document together with the copy that requires certification.

If the document is intended for use overseas, additional legalization may sometimes be required depending on the destination country.

Power of Attorney Notary Service

A Power of Attorney is commonly used when one person authorizes another person, lawyer, agent, company, or representative to act on their behalf.

A Power of Attorney may be used for:

• property transactions;
• banking matters;
• company matters;
• inheritance matters;
• legal proceedings;
• government applications;
• overseas transactions;
• administrative procedures.

Where a Power of Attorney will be used outside Thailand, the receiving organization may require the signature of the person granting authority to be notarized or certified.

Our office can assist with signature certification and document review.

Because requirements vary between countries and organizations, we recommend sending the document to us before attending.

Notary Service for Overseas Documents

Many clients require a notary service for documents that will be used overseas.

We regularly assist clients with documents intended for submission to:

• foreign embassies;
• immigration authorities;
• universities;
• employers;
• overseas banks;
• foreign companies;
• government departments;
• legal representatives;
• foreign courts;
• educational institutions.

Notarization may not always be the final step.

Depending on the destination country and the type of document, additional procedures may include legalization, authentication, consular certification, or certification by another government authority.

For this reason, it is important to identify both:

1. What document do you have?
2. Where will the document be used?

These two points usually determine the correct process.

Corporate Notary Service

Businesses and companies may require notarial services for international commercial activities.

Our office can assist with certification of corporate documents such as:

• company registration certificates;
• director identification documents;
• board resolutions;
• shareholder documents;
• powers of attorney;
• corporate declarations;
• commercial agreements;
• authorization letters;
• business documents for overseas use.

For corporate matters, additional supporting documents may be required to confirm the authority of the person signing.

Companies are encouraged to send us the documents in advance so that we can check what should be prepared.

Notary Service for Educational Documents

Educational documents may also require certification when they are used for study, employment, licensing, immigration, or professional registration.

Documents may include:

• university degrees;
• diplomas;
• academic transcripts;
• school certificates;
• training certificates;
• professional qualifications.

The receiving organization may require a certified true copy, signature certification, or additional legalization.

If you are submitting documents to a university, employer, or foreign authority, please check the required form of certification before proceeding.

Affidavits and Declarations

An affidavit or declaration may be required for legal, immigration, business, banking, or personal matters.

Depending on the document, the client may need to sign in the presence of a Notarial Services Attorney.

Before attending, please check whether the receiving organization has provided a specific form or wording.

If a specific form is available, you should send it to us before your appointment.

Urgent and Same-Day Notary Service

Some clients require urgent document certification because of a deadline with an embassy, foreign company, bank, university, immigration authority, or business partner.

Where the document is suitable for certification and all required originals and identification are available, urgent or same-day service may be possible.

Before travelling to the office, please call us so that we can check:

• the type of document;
• the number of documents;
• the destination country;
• the type of certification required;
• whether the original is available;
• whether additional legalization may be necessary.

For urgent inquiries, call 083-884-3287.

What Documents Should You Bring?

For most notary appointments, you should prepare the following:

• original document;
• passport or identification card;
• copies requiring certification;
• instructions from the receiving organization;
• embassy or authority forms, if any;
• supporting corporate documents where relevant.

For signature certification, the signer may need to appear personally.

For certified copies, the original document will normally need to be presented.

Do I Need Legalization After Notarization?

Sometimes.

A notary service may be only the first stage of the document authentication process.

Depending on the country and receiving organization, the document may also need:

• legalization by a government authority;
• consular authentication;
• embassy certification;
• translation;
• additional certification.

The requirements can vary significantly depending on the destination and purpose of the document.

Therefore, clients should avoid assuming that notarization alone is sufficient.

If possible, obtain written requirements from the organization that will receive the document.

How Much Does Notary Service Cost?

The cost of a notary service depends on several factors, including:

• the type of document;
• the number of documents;
• whether signatures must be witnessed;
• whether certified copies are required;
• whether the matter involves corporate documents;
• whether additional document preparation is necessary.

For an accurate quotation, please provide basic information about the document before making an appointment.

You can tell us:

What document needs certification?
How many documents are there?
Where will they be used?
What type of certification has been requested?

This allows us to give more accurate information before you visit.
