Notarial Services Attorney Thailand
Premium legal services for Expats and Businesses. We provide licensed Notarial Services Attorneys to verify signatures, certify documents, and handle legalization for use in Thailand and abroad.
âïļ What is a "Notarial Services Attorney" in Thailand?
A Critical Legal Distinction for Expats:
- The Law: Thailand is a Civil Law country and does not have "Notary Publics" as defined in Common Law jurisdictions (like the US or UK).
- The Equivalent: The Lawyers Council of Thailand grants a special license to qualified lawyers, designating them as "Notarial Services Attorneys".
- Authority: Only these specific attorneys have the legal power to attest signatures, certify copies of documents, and administer oaths for documents intended for international use.
- Compliance: Using a general lawyer or an unlicensed agent for notarization can render your documents void abroad. NYC Legal ensures full compliance with the Regulation of the Lawyers Council on Registering Attorneys as Qualified to Certify Signatures and Documents B.E. 2551 (2008).

Our Licensed Notarial Services Attorneys
Professional Legal Services Nationwide
1. Attestation of Signature
Our Notarial Services Attorney witnesses your signature on documents such as Power of Attorney, Affidavits, and Declarations. This confirms that the person signing is indeed who they claim to be, preventing fraud.
2. Certification of True Copies
We certify that a copy of a document (Passport, Degree, Bank Statement) is a true and complete reproduction of the original. This service is essential for visa applications and international school admissions.
3. Authentication of Documents (MFA)
We handle the full legalization process at the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Thailand, ensuring your Thai documents are accepted overseas.
4. Embassy Legalization
After MFA legalization, documents often require the final seal of the destination country's embassy in Bangkok (e.g., China, Vietnam, UAE, Qatar). We provide a seamless runner service for this step.
5. Administering Oaths & Affirmations
For legal proceedings in foreign courts (e.g., depositions, affidavits of evidence), our attorneys are authorized to administer oaths and affirmations to deponents in Thailand.
6. Certified Translation
We provide accurate translation of legal and civil documents (Thai to English and vice versa) certified by our attorneys and recognized by government bodies.
7. Corporate Document Verification
For businesses, we verify the existence of Thai companies, the authority of directors, and certify corporate documents (Affidavit, Shareholders List) for international trade and bidding.
8. Police Clearance for Expats
We assist foreigners residing in Thailand to obtain a Police Clearance Certificate from the Royal Thai Police for visa applications to other countries or employment purposes.
