More questions about weekend notarization
- Can MFA legalization also happen on the weekend?
- The Department of Consular Affairs is Monday-Friday only, so MFA authentication itself resumes on the following Monday. What we do finish on the weekend is the notarial layer — signature, oath, true copy — and we file MFA at first-queue Monday morning (07:30). For destinations in the Hague Convention (post-28 Feb 2027), consider apostilling in advance so no follow-on MFA step is needed at all.
- Does 'weekend service' include evening hours?
- Yes, from 08:00 to 22:00 on both Saturday and Sunday at standard weekend rates. Bookings between 22:00 and 08:00 attract a night-urgent premium of about 30%. We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance so we can pre-review the scan; that shortens the in-person meeting with the attorney to 20-30 minutes even on a busy weekend.
Key takeaways
- Only attorneys registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand under the Lawyers Act B.E. 2528 may certify
- You must sign in front of the attorney and present an original passport or Thai ID card
- Documents used abroad usually also require MFA Department of Consular Affairs legalization and/or destination-embassy endorsement
- Procedures and timelines may change; verify with the responsible authority before filing
