Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Thai notarization accepted in India?
A: Yes. India has been a Contracting Party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 2005, and Thailand joined effective 25 December 2025. Documents notarized in Bangkok only need a single Apostille from the Thai MFA to be legally valid in India.
Q: What is the process?
A: Notary Public → Thai MFA (Apostille) → ready to use in India
Q: Which authority in India issues the Apostille / receives legalized documents?
A: The Competent Authority declared by India to the HCCH is MEA — Ministry of External Affairs. Documents originating in Thailand, however, do not need to be filed there — the Apostille issued by the Thai MFA is sufficient.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: THB 4,000–8,500 depending on document type, number of pages, and any translation required. Detailed fee breakdown available on request.
Q: How long does it take?
A: 3–7 business days end-to-end. Express service can reduce turnaround by 30–50% for urgent cases.
Q: Does India have an embassy in Bangkok?
A: Yes, India maintains an embassy/consulate in Bangkok, which streamlines the embassy legalization step — no cross-border shipping required.
Q: Do I need to be physically present?
A: Yes — you must sign before the Notarial Attorney in person (Lawyers Council of Thailand regulation). If you cannot come to the office, we offer mobile notary within greater Bangkok or an alternate signatory via Power of Attorney.
Q: What languages are acceptable for India?
A: English-language documents are accepted (India is English-speaking or uses English officially). Notarial Certificates are issued bilingually (Thai + English) by default.
Q: Where is India and are there any regional considerations?
A: India is located in Asia, with New Delhi as its capital. Documents that complete the Apostille chain are accepted by all government agencies in India. We verify current destination-authority requirements before starting each case.
Q: Do you handle end-to-end?
A: Yes. We coordinate Notary → Translation → MFA → Apostille → international courier (DHL/FedEx) to your address in India (New Delhi or other cities) within 3–5 days after the final step.
