How does a Notarized Translation service operate, and how many days does it take?
Certified translation
Per the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs (MFA Thailand) to "How does a Notarized Translation service operate, and how many days does it take?" — MFA Thailand only certifies the Thai–English pair, so a third-language original is either relayed through English or translated directly into Thai with a signed translator declaration attached to every page. Thailand acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 14 February 2025, so outbound documents to member states need one Apostille from MFA instead of a destination-embassy step, except for states that objected to the accession. Door-to-door pickup in Bangkok and DHL dispatch worldwide — call 094-895-8999.
Per the Lawyers Council of Thailand's Notarial Services rules to "How do I get a document notarized in Bangkok?" — 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. Send a photo of your document to LINE @Thainotary and we'll quote and schedule within 15 minutes.
