Portugal is a Hague Apostille Convention 1961 member, but Thailand is not — so Thai documents go through the Legalization Chain instead of receiving an Apostille. Our Legalization Chain takes slightly longer than Apostille but delivers equivalent legal effect. We get every step right the first time so documents aren't rejected at destination.

A Notarial Services Attorney certifies signatures, identity, or copies as the first link inside Thailand. MFA Nitikorn certifies that the origin agency's stamp/signature (including the Notary's) is genuine. Embassy Legalization is the final step where the destination embassy authenticates the MFA seal. Documents become usable abroad only after all three layers are complete.
A fully MFA-legalized document carries the red Department of Consular Affairs seal, the Head of Legalization Section's signature, a reference number, an issue date, and explicit wording stating that only the origin agency's stamp and signature are certified.
