Core Services for Document Certification
We specialize in authenticating documents for Study, Work, Business, and Travel.
1. Certified True Copy of Passports & IDs
This is our most requested Certified True Copy Service Thailand. We certify copies of your Passport (bio-page and visa pages), National ID Card, or Driver's License. This certification is essential for opening bank accounts in Thailand or abroad, applying for international loans, or submitting identity proofs to foreign government bodies.
2. Academic Document Certification (Degrees/Transcripts)
For students applying to universities abroad or professionals seeking employment, we provide Certified True Copies of University Degrees, Diplomas, and Transcripts. We verify the original documents and apply our official attorney stamp and signature, ensuring they meet the admission requirements of international institutions.
3. Notary Public & Signature Witnessing
Beyond certifying copies, we act as a Notary Public to witness your signature on important legal documents such as Power of Attorney (POA), Statutory Declarations, and Affidavits. Our licensed attorneys ensure that the signing process adheres to Thai law and international standards.
4. Certified Translation (30+ Languages)
Often, a certified copy needs to be accompanied by a certified translation. NYC Translation Center offers expert translation for legal, medical, and technical documents. We translate from Thai to English (and vice versa) and 30+ other languages, certified by Ministry of Justice registered translators.
5. MFA Legalization & Embassy Attestation
For documents that require a higher level of authentication, we offer a "Full Loop" service. This involves certifying the true copy, legalizing it at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Thailand, and finally attesting it at the relevant foreign Embassy in Bangkok.
6. NAATI Translation for Australia
If you are applying for an Australian Visa, PR, or Citizenship, standard certification isn't enough. We provide NAATI-accredited translations, which are strictly required by the Australian Department of Home Affairs. This ensures your certified documents are accepted without issues.
7. Corporate Document Certification
For businesses, we certify copies of Company Affidavits (DBD), Shareholder Lists (Bor Or Jor 5), Memorandum of Association, and Director IDs. These certified copies are crucial for setting up branch offices, opening corporate bank accounts, or signing international contracts.
8. Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) Assistance
We assist Expats and Thais in obtaining the Police Clearance Certificate from the Royal Thai Police. We handle the application forms, fingerprinting guidance, and document submission, ensuring you receive the certificate needed for work permits or migration.

Advisory: Ensure Your "Certified True Copy" is Valid!
Many shops offer "certified copies" using simple rubber stamps without a valid attorney license number. These are often rejected by international banks and embassies. NYC Legal guarantees that every Certified True Copy is signed and stamped by a licensed Notarial Services Attorney, fully verifiable with the Lawyers Council of Thailand.
