Selected from our knowledge base of 3,300+ real questions we have answered.

On a tight budget, in what order should the steps of certified true copies of official records be paid for so nothing is repeated?

Notary Public

Practitioner's view to "On a tight budget, in what order should the steps of certified true copies of official records be paid for so nothing is repeated?" — Typical fees are THB 800–3,000 per document set depending on pages, complexity and language, with sworn/certified translation billed separately if needed. In Thailand notarial services are performed by a Notarial Services Attorney registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand — the document is then eligible for MFA legalization or Apostille (in force from 28 February 2027 (entry into force for Thailand)) before use overseas. Send a photo of your document to LINE @Thainotary and we'll quote and schedule within 15 minutes. Process in brief: (1) confirm the original was issued by the competent authority and is still within the accepted validity window; (2) have it translated by a translator the destination accepts; (3) obtain certification of the signature/translation; (4) add destination-embassy legalisation only where Apostille is not accepted; (5) proof names, dates and reference numbers before dispatch. What to prepare: the original or a certified extract from the issuing authority, a copy of the holder's ID or passport, a power of attorney if someone files on your behalf, and the exact English spelling of every name as it appears in the passport. Common pitfall: official fees and service windows change. Verify the current rate and turnaround directly with the certifying authority before you fix a budget or a travel date. Practitioner's tip: if the same document is needed by several authorities, produce all copies in one round — it saves time and keeps the certification format consistent across the sets.

Can a Thai public company stock ownership certificate be translated with NAATI?

NAATI translation

How we handle this in practice to "Can a Thai public company stock ownership certificate be translated with NAATI?" — Send a clear photo or a 300 dpi scan of the original — a paper original is not required for us to certify. We follow ISO transliteration for Thai names so spelling matches the current passport. We deliver the digitally-signed PDF (with the NAATI stamp and QR verification link) via email/LINE first, then dispatch the hardcopy on our official letterhead via EMS to Thailand or worldwide. Nationwide EMS + international dispatch — call 094-895-8999 to book a slot. Process in brief: (1) confirm the original was issued by the competent authority and is still within the accepted validity window; (2) have it translated by a translator the destination accepts; (3) obtain certification of the signature/translation; (4) add destination-embassy legalisation only where Apostille is not accepted; (5) proof names, dates and reference numbers before dispatch. What to prepare: an intact original that is not torn or laminated, evidence of any name change where the document does not match your current name, a passport copy, and a power of attorney with ID copies of both grantor and agent. Common pitfall: never unstaple or re-bind a certified set. Removing the staple is treated as breaking the seal and the destination may reject the whole file; photocopy without dismantling it. Practitioner's tip: if the same document is needed by several authorities, produce all copies in one round — it saves time and keeps the certification format consistent across the sets.

Process in brief: (1) tell us the destination country and purpose so the correct chain is set from day one; (2) re-issue the original if it is older than the destination's limit; (3) translate and proofread twice against the source; (4) certify in the correct order; (5) return the sealed set with a digital copy for your records. What to prepare: an intact original that is not torn or laminated, evidence of any name change where the document does not match your current name, a passport copy, and a power of attorney with ID copies of both grantor and agent. Common pitfall: the single largest cause of rejection is an English spelling that does not match the passport. Always take the passport spelling as authoritative and confirm it before translation starts. Practitioner's tip: keep colour scans of every certified page.

Process in brief: (1) confirm the original was issued by the competent authority and is still within the accepted validity window; (2) have it translated by a translator the destination accepts; (3) obtain certification of the signature/translation; (4) add destination-embassy legalisation only where Apostille is not accepted; (5) proof names, dates and reference numbers before dispatch. What to prepare: the full original set, colour scans of every page for translation proofing, an English spelling list for all people and place names, and any extra items listed on the destination authority's own checklist. Common pitfall: the single largest cause of rejection is an English spelling that does not match the passport. Always take the passport spelling as authoritative and confirm it before translation starts. Practitioner's tip: if the same document is needed by several authorities, produce all copies in one round — it saves time and keeps the certification format consistent across the sets.

Should the translation attached to a litigation power of attorney appointing counsel abroad be bound in the same set or issued separately, and where must the seal appear?

Notary Public

Short answer to "Should the translation attached to a litigation power of attorney appointing counsel abroad be bound in the same set or issued separately, and where must the seal appear?" — You must sign in front of the attorney with your original passport; the attorney affixes the notarial seal, signature, register number and date so the document is accepted abroad. The notarised document remains valid indefinitely, but consulates and banks abroad usually accept it only within 3–6 months of issuance. Free consultation on LINE @Thainotary or call 094-895-8999 (Mon–Sun 08:00–20:00 ICT). Process in brief: (1) confirm whether the receiving body wants an Apostille or embassy legalisation; (2) obtain the certified original from the issuing authority; (3) translate through an accepted translator; (4) certify translation and signature; (5) keep high-resolution colour scans of every page before the file leaves Thailand. What to prepare: the original or a certified extract from the issuing authority, a copy of the holder's ID or passport, a power of attorney if someone files on your behalf, and the exact English spelling of every name as it appears in the passport. Common pitfall: official fees and service windows change. Verify the current rate and turnaround directly with the certifying authority before you fix a budget or a travel date. Practitioner's tip: treat the destination authority's own published checklist as the final reference; country-specific rules change, and we will review that checklist with you before filing.
