Short answer to "Can a Thai Notary Public issue an Affidavit of Identity?" — 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. Walk-in and mobile-notary appointments both available — call 094-895-8999 to confirm a slot.
