⥠What is "Power of Attorney Thailand Notary"?
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorizes another person to act on your behalf. In Thailand, for a POA to be valid for official use (especially from abroad), it often requires notarization. NYC Legal specializes in:
- Drafting: Creating legally sound POA documents in Thai and English (Tor.Dor. 21 for Land).
- Notarization: Witnessing your signature by a licensed "Notarial Services Attorney" (Thai Notary).
- Verification: Ensuring the POA meets the specific requirements of the Thai Land Department, Banks, or Courts.
- International Use: Assisting with MFA Legalization and Embassy Attestation for POAs to/from overseas.
- Convenience: One-stop service for drafting, translating, and notarizing.

Core Services: Power of Attorney & Legalization
Specialized POA drafting and notarization for Expats and Property Investors.
1. Land Department Power of Attorney (Tor.Dor. 21)
Buying or selling a condo in Thailand while you are abroad? You need a specific POA form called Tor.Dor. 21. We draft this official Thai form correctly, translate the specifics for you, and notarize your signature, ensuring the Land Department accepts it for property transfer.
2. Banking Power of Attorney
Need someone to manage your Thai bank account, request statements, or close an account on your behalf? We draft specific Banking POAs that comply with the strict regulations of Thai banks (Bangkok Bank, SCB, Kasikorn, etc.) and notarize them for immediate use.
3. General Power of Attorney
For general matters such as picking up documents, applying for utilities, or handling mail, we provide a General Power of Attorney. Our attorneys verify your identity and witness the signing to give the document legal weight.
4. Certified Translation of POA
If you are bringing a POA from abroad in English or another language, it must be translated into Thai to be used here. NYC Translation Center provides certified translations by Ministry of Justice registered translators, essential for government submission.
5. MFA Legalization & Embassy Attestation
A POA signed abroad often needs a chain of legalization (Notary -> MFA -> Thai Embassy). Conversely, a POA signed in Thailand for use abroad needs legalization by the Thai MFA. We handle this complex "Full Loop" process for you.
6. Corporate Power of Attorney
Foreign directors of Thai companies often need to authorize staff or lawyers to act on their behalf for tax filing, DBD registration, or visa processing. We draft and notarize Corporate POAs ensuring the signatory has the authority to bind the company.
7. Police Clearance Application POA
If you need a Thai Police Clearance Certificate but have already left the country, you can grant us Power of Attorney to apply on your behalf. We handle the drafting, fingerprinting coordination, and submission at the Royal Thai Police HQ.
8. Visa & Immigration POA
Authorize an agent to handle your 90-day reporting or visa extension paperwork. We provide specific Immigration POAs that allow legitimate visa agents to represent you at the Immigration Bureau.

Advisory: POA Forms Must Be Correct!
Using the wrong Power of Attorney form (e.g., using a general form for a land transfer) will result in immediate rejection by Thai authorities. The Land Department strictly requires the Tor.Dor. 21 form with specific details. NYC Legal ensures the correct form is used and properly notarized to avoid costly delays.
