Verification of Person / Life Certificate by Notary

1) Life / Pension Certificate — for overseas pension recipients, on the form prescribed by the relevant pension authority such as Centrelink (Australia), DWP (UK), SSA (USA), CNAV (France), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (Germany), Nenkin (Japan), and NPS (Korea). 2) Proof of Identity Certification — identity verification from photographs and ID documents for use with overseas funds, trusts, and financial institutions. 3) Photo Identity Certification — confirming that a photograph supplied by the client depicts the same person who appeared before the attorney.

4) Existence-of-Person Statement — for foreign inheritance or civil litigation requiring proof that an individual was alive on a specified date. 5) Same-Person Declaration — certifying that an individual whose name differs across two documents (e.g., after marriage) is the same person.

Foreign pension recipients living in Thailand — retirees from many countries who have settled in Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, Hua Hin, and Koh Samui — as well as Thais who worked abroad and now collect their pensions in Thailand. Most must submit a Life Certificate one to two times per year to keep payments uninterrupted.

Also: heirs claiming overseas inheritance, life-insurance beneficiaries making claims, investors verifying identity to offshore funds, plaintiffs in foreign courts, and beneficiaries of overseas trusts or foundations.

Step 1: Send us the destination authority's Life Certificate or Proof of Identity form to verify the format and wording matches what they require. Step 2: Book an in-office appointment, or our attorney travels to the client at home, hospital, or care facility when the client is elderly or has limited mobility.

Step 3: The attorney verifies the client's passport and Thai ID or foreigner ID, takes a photograph with the client on the certification day, and records the GPS location and time. Step 4: The attorney signs, applies the Notary seal, logs the act, and issues the certificate in the format the destination authority needs — English, Thai, or bilingual. Step 5 (optional): MFA legalization and destination-embassy attestation — we handle every step.
