변호사법(불기 2528년)에 따라 태국 변호사협회에 등록된 변호사만 인증할 수 있습니다
변호사 면전에서 서명하고 여권 또는 태국 신분증 원본을 제시해야 합니다
해외에서 사용할 문서는 외교부 영사국 인증 및 목적국 대사관 인증이 추가로 필요할 수 있습니다
절차와 소요 기간은 기관 규정에 따라 변경될 수 있으므로 제출 전 확인하시기 바랍니다
진행 절차 요약
단계
수행 주체
필요 서류
예상 소요
1. Review the file and confirm the certification format
변호사 날인으로 절차가 끝난다고 이해하기 쉽지만, 실무상 이는 인증 연쇄의 첫 단계이며 영사국과 목적국 대사관으로 이어지는 경우가 많습니다. 순서는 접수국이 정하며 순서를 바꾸는 것이 가장 흔한 반려 사유입니다.
실제로 충족해야 하는 조건
인증 문구에는 일자, 장소, 서명자 성명, 신원 확인 방법, 인증인의 등록번호가 포함되어야 합니다.
사본 인증의 경우 당일 원본 제시가 필요하며 이미지 파일 대조는 대부분 인정되지 않습니다.
서명자는 유효기간이 남은 여권 또는 신분증을 지참하고 직접 출석해야 하며 사전 송부한 사본으로 대체할 수 없습니다.
반려되는 주요 원인
여권과 철자가 다른 성명 표기는 부호나 중간 이름 순서 차이만으로도 거절 사유가 됩니다.
미리 서명한 문서를 나중에 인증하는 방식은 면전 서명 기재와 사실이 불일치해 통상 전부 반려됩니다.
가장 안전한 방법은 접수 기관의 요건을 서면으로 확보한 뒤 인증 문구와 절차 순서를 맞추는 것입니다. 목적국과 사용 목적을 알려주시면 전화·LINE·이메일로 안내해 드립니다.
Real customer questions, answered by our attorneys
Selected from our knowledge base of 3,300+ real questions we have answered.
Does medical certificates and health-check results require the true original, or a copy certified by the issuing authority?
Consular / Apostille
Per the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs (MFA Thailand) to "Does medical certificates and health-check results require the true original, or a copy certified by the issuing authority?" — Typical documents: house registration, birth/marriage/divorce certificates, name-change records, death certificates, single-status letters, police clearance, degrees and transcripts, company affidavits, VAT Por.Por.20, financial statements, powers of attorney and cross-border contracts. Government fee is THB 200 per stamp for the normal service (2–3 business days) and THB 400 per stamp for same-day express (file before 11:30). Our end-to-end agency fee starts at THB 1,500–4,500 per set depending on volume and urgency. Free consultation on LINE @Thainotary or call 094-895-8999 (Mon–Sun 08:00–20:00 ICT).
Process in brief: (1) assemble the complete file before filing — partial filings lose a queue slot; (2) match every spelling to the passport; (3) file the whole set together so the stamps carry one date; (4) inspect the stamps at the counter; (5) ship with tracked delivery.
What to prepare: the original, the translation kept unbound from the source until certification, passport copies of every person named in the document, and any relationship evidence such as a house registration or marriage certificate if the destination asks for it.
Common pitfall: states that objected to Thailand's accession to the Apostille Convention still require destination-embassy legalisation, so confirm the destination's position before starting.
Practitioner's tip: keep colour scans of every certified page. If a courier loses the set, digital copies make re-issue and verification dramatically faster.
What consular steps govern foreign transnational logistics and supply chain hub agreements?
Consular / Apostille
Per the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs (MFA Thailand) to "What consular steps govern foreign transnational logistics and supply chain hub agreements?" — Standard outbound chain: original from the issuing Thai authority → certified English translation → MFA certification of the translation/signature → destination-embassy legalisation in Bangkok (only for non-Apostille countries). Typical documents: house registration, birth/marriage/divorce certificates, name-change records, death certificates, single-status letters, police clearance, degrees and transcripts, company affidavits, VAT Por.Por.20, financial statements, powers of attorney and cross-border contracts. Free consultation on LINE @Thainotary or call 094-895-8999 (Mon–Sun 08:00–20:00 ICT).
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: 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: keep colour scans of every certified page. If a courier loses the set, digital copies make re-issue and verification dramatically faster.
When the passport spelling differs from a degree and transcript used for overseas admission or credential assessment, should the source record be corrected first or is a same-person affidavit enough?
Consular / Apostille
Per the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs (MFA Thailand) to "When the passport spelling differs from a degree and transcript used for overseas admission or credential assessment, should the source record be corrected first or is a same-person affidavit enough?" — Typical documents: house registration, birth/marriage/divorce certificates, name-change records, death certificates, single-status letters, police clearance, degrees and transcripts, company affidavits, VAT Por.Por.20, financial statements, powers of attorney and cross-border contracts. Government fee is THB 200 per stamp for the normal service (2–3 business days) and THB 400 per stamp for same-day express (file before 11:30). Our end-to-end agency fee starts at THB 1,500–4,500 per set depending on volume and urgency. Send a photo of the document to LINE @Thainotary and we will quote the chain, cost and timeline within 15 minutes.
Process in brief: (1) assemble the complete file before filing — partial filings lose a queue slot; (2) match every spelling to the passport; (3) file the whole set together so the stamps carry one date; (4) inspect the stamps at the counter; (5) ship with tracked delivery.
What to prepare: the original, the translation kept unbound from the source until certification, passport copies of every person named in the document, and any relationship evidence such as a house registration or marriage certificate if the destination asks for it.
Common pitfall: self-made or machine translations are usually refused — reviewers check the letterhead, the translator's certification wording, and whether every stamp on the original has been rendered.
Practitioner's tip: give us your travel or filing deadline up front. We plan backwards and pick the service tier that lands on time without paying for unnecessary express handling.
Does a name-change record and same-person affidavit need onward MFA and embassy legalisation, and in what order?
Certified translation
Quick summary for expats, HR teams and law firms to "Does a name-change record and same-person affidavit need onward MFA and embassy legalisation, and in what order?" — Multi-language certified translation for use in Thailand runs in three layers: translation by a native/MFA-recognised translator, a certificate of accuracy sealed by the translation company or a Notary Public lawyer, then MFA legalisation of that translation. Government fees are THB 200 per stamp for the normal service (2–3 business days) and THB 400 per stamp for same-day express (filed before 11:30); translation itself is priced per page/word and by language rarity. Door-to-door pickup in Bangkok and DHL dispatch worldwide — call 094-895-8999.
Process in brief: (1) decide whether the destination requires an original or a certified true copy; (2) prepare a power of attorney if you cannot attend; (3) translate in the required format; (4) file and monitor the queue; (5) verify whether supporting documents are also required at destination.
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: 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: give us your travel or filing deadline up front. We plan backwards and pick the service tier that lands on time without paying for unnecessary express handling.
For a minor or a person lacking capacity, who must co-sign for affidavits and statutory declarations?
Notary Public
Per the Lawyers Council of Thailand's Notarial Services rules to "For a minor or a person lacking capacity, who must co-sign for affidavits and statutory declarations?" — Standard turnaround is 1 business day; same-day service is available by appointment for straightforward files. 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. Free consultation on LINE @Thainotary or call 094-895-8999 (Mon–Sun 08:00–20:00 ICT).
Process in brief: (1) assemble the complete file before filing — partial filings lose a queue slot; (2) match every spelling to the passport; (3) file the whole set together so the stamps carry one date; (4) inspect the stamps at the counter; (5) ship with tracked delivery.
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: 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.
For a foreign-issued source record, how do cost and turnaround compare between affidavits and statutory declarations and a district-office certification?
Notary Public
Short answer to "For a foreign-issued source record, how do cost and turnaround compare between affidavits and statutory declarations and a district-office certification?" — 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) check whether a parent authority must endorse the document first — a school, hospital or line department; (2) translate into the required language; (3) certify the translation; (4) complete the next certification layer; (5) submit within the validity window the destination accepts.
What to prepare: the original, the translation kept unbound from the source until certification, passport copies of every person named in the document, and any relationship evidence such as a house registration or marriage certificate if the destination asks for it.
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: 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.
How are foreign medical laboratory accreditation certificates legalized for Thai health sectors?
Consular / Apostille
How we handle this in practice to "How are foreign medical laboratory accreditation certificates legalized for Thai health sectors?" — Typical documents: house registration, birth/marriage/divorce certificates, name-change records, death certificates, single-status letters, police clearance, degrees and transcripts, company affidavits, VAT Por.Por.20, financial statements, powers of attorney and cross-border contracts.
