Our Pricing Philosophy: Clarity and Value
When searching for "how much is notary in Bangkok," you will find a wide range of prices. We understand that cost is an important factor. Our pricing philosophy is built on two core principles: transparency and value.
Transparency: The price we quote you is the price you pay. We have no hidden fees. Before any work begins, our team will review your documents (for free) and provide you with a clear, itemized quote. This quote will include the notarial fee and any optional services you request, such as MFA legalization or translation, so you know the full cost upfront.
Value: A "cheap" notary service that results in your document being rejected by an embassy or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the most expensive service of all. It costs you time, money, and potentially a missed opportunity. Our fees reflect the professional value we provide. When you use NYC Plus, you are not just paying for a stamp; you are paying for:
- A Licensed Notarial Attorney: Your document is reviewed and certified by one of our 5 experienced, licensed lawyers, not an administrative assistant.
- 15+ Years of Expertise: We understand the specific requirements for different countries and document types, preventing common mistakes.
- E-E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness): Our reputation with the MFA and embassies ensures our stamp is recognized and trusted.
- Peace of Mind: The assurance that your document is notarized correctly, following all legal procedures, and will be accepted by the receiving institution.
Standard Notary Fee Schedule (in THB)
Below are our standard fee ranges for common notarial services in Bangkok. Our professional Notary Public services, performed by a licensed Notarial Attorney, start from 1,500 THB per notarial act (per seal). This fee reflects a professional legal service, not just a rubber stamp, ensuring your document is correctly processed and legally valid.
Please note these are starting prices; the final price depends on the factors listed in the next section. We always provide a final, fixed quote upon reviewing your document.
| Notarial Service (Performed by a Licensed Lawyer) | Estimated Starting Price (THB) |
|---|---|
|
Attestation of Signature
This is our most common service. It involves you (the signatory) appearing in person before our Notarial Attorney to sign a document. The Notary verifies your identity (via your original passport) and witnesses your signature.
|
Starts at 1,500 THB per signature / per seal |
|
Certified True Copy
Our Notary verifies that a photocopy of your document is a true, complete, and unaltered copy of the original. You must bring the original document (e.g., original passport, original diploma) for this verification.
|
Starts at 1,500 THB per page / per seal |
|
Affidavit / Sworn Statement (Drafting & Notarization)
This is a more comprehensive service. It includes a consultation with our lawyer, the legal drafting of the affidavit (a written statement of facts that you swear is true), and finally, administering the oath and notarizing your signature.
|
Starts at 2,500 THB per document |
|
Power of Attorney (POA) - Attestation Only
If you already have your Power of Attorney document drafted by your lawyer (either in Thailand or abroad) and simply need your signature witnessed, this service applies. This is an "Attestation of Signature" service specifically for a POA.
|
Starts at 1,500 THB per signatory / per seal |
*Prices are indicative and subject to change based on document complexity. All fees are inclusive of VAT (where applicable).
Fees for Value-Added & One-Stop Services
A Notary stamp is often just the first step. Most documents require further processing to be valid abroad. We offer these services to save you time and ensure the entire process is completed correctly.
| Additional Service | Estimated Starting Price (THB) |
|---|---|
|
MFA Legalization Assistance
Our most popular value-added service. After notarization, most documents MUST be legalized by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). This service includes our fee for handling all logistics, document submission, and collection at the MFA office in Chaeng Watthana.
|
Starts at 1,500 THB (Service Fee) + Official MFA Fees* |
|
Professional Document Translation
Many documents must be translated into English (or another language) *before* they can be notarized or legalized. We provide professional translations (e.g., Thai to English, English to Thai) that are certified for accuracy and accepted by all embassies and the MFA. |
Starts at 500 THB per page |
|
Mobile / On-site Notary Service (Bangkok)
For your convenience, our Notarial Attorney can travel to your location (office, home, hospital, or hotel) to perform the notarization. This is ideal for busy executives, individuals with mobility issues, or signing ceremonies.
|
Starts at 3,000 THB per visit (in BKK) + Notarial Fees |

The best way to get a fast, accurate, and no-obligation quote is to show us your document. Our team will review it and reply with a fixed price and a clear explanation of the services needed.
Factors That May Affect Your Final Quote
Our goal is 100% transparency. The starting prices above cover standard documents. The final quote may be higher if your request involves additional complexity, time, or legal liability for our Notary. We will *always* confirm this with you before starting.
Main Factors
- Number of Seals/Signatures: The primary factor. Our fee is per notarial act (per seal), not per document. Certifying 5 pages of a passport as true copies requires 5 seals and is priced as 5 acts (e.g., 1,500 THB x 5).
- Document Complexity & Length: A 1-page consent letter is straightforward. A 50-page international trade agreement or real estate contract requires significant review time from our Notary to understand the content and ensure legality, which increases the fee.
- Drafting vs. Notarizing: If you provide a ready-to-sign document, the fee is for notarization only. If we must legally draft the document for you (e.g., a Single Status Affidavit, a complex POA), a legal drafting fee (starting from 1,000 THB) will be included.
Service Level Factors
- Urgency (Rush Service): Our standard turnaround is 1-2 business days. If you require Same-Day or 1-Day Express Service for notarization and MFA legalization, an urgency fee will apply.
- Mobile / On-Site Service: If you require our Notary to travel to your location, the quote will include the standard notarial fees plus a mobile service fee (starting at 3,000 THB) to cover travel time and expenses.
- Package Services: The final quote will clearly itemize all requested services, such as Notarization + Translation + MFA Legalization + Embassy Submission, so you see a clear breakdown of all costs.

Why "Cheapest" is Not Always Best: Our Service as an Investment
When searching for "notary fees in Bangkok," it can be tempting to choose the cheapest option. However, notarization is a professional legal service where errors have serious consequences. A document that is improperly notarized will be rejected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and foreign embassies, costing you weeks of delays and forcing you to pay for the service all over again.
Our fees are an investment in certainty and expertise.
The Risk of "Cheap Notary" Services
- Risk of Rejection: Service may be provided by someone not properly licensed, leading to immediate rejection by the MFA.
- No Legal Knowledge: A cheap "stamp" service may not understand the legal requirements of your document, failing to perform the correct notarial act.
- Language Barriers: Inability to communicate clearly in English can lead to critical misunderstandings about your document.
- No Accountability: If your document is rejected, a non-professional service may be unreachable, leaving you to solve the problem alone.

FAQ About Our Fees & Pricing
Is the price per page, per document, or per signature/seal?
This is the most important question to ask any notary. Our fee is based on each "notarial act," which is typically defined as one seal and signature from our Notary. Our standard notarial acts start at 1,500 THB.
Here are practical examples:
- Attesting 1 signature on a 10-page contract: This is ONE notarial act (one seal). The fee starts at 1,500 THB.
- Certifying a 5-page passport copy: This requires the Notary to certify EACH page as a true copy. This is FIVE notarial acts (five seals), so the fee would be (Starting Price x 5).
- Certifying 3 copies of your 1-page Diploma: This is THREE notarial acts (one seal on each copy).
We will always confirm the total number of acts and the final price with you before we begin any work.
