Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Thai notarization accepted in North Korea?
A: Yes, through the full legalization chain: Thai Notary → Thai MFA → North Korea Embassy in Bangkok. North Korea is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so full consular legalization is required.
Q: What is the process?
A: Notary Public → Thai MFA (Legalization) → North Korea Embassy in Bangkok → ready to use
Q: Which authority in North Korea issues the Apostille / receives legalized documents?
A: Once legalized by the North Korea Embassy in Bangkok, documents can be filed directly with the destination authority in North Korea (immigration, courts, civil registry — capital: Pyongyang).
Q: How much does it cost?
A: THB 7,500–13,000 depending on document type, number of pages, and any translation required. Detailed fee breakdown available on request.

A: 7–18 business days end-to-end. Express service can reduce turnaround by 30–50% for urgent cases.
Q: Does North Korea have an embassy in Bangkok?
A: Yes, North Korea 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 North Korea?
A: Documents typically need to be in KO or bilingual (English + local language). We provide certified translation by translators registered with North Korea authorities.
Q: Where is North Korea and are there any regional considerations?
A: North Korea is located in Asia, with Pyongyang as its capital. Documents that complete the full legalization chain are accepted by all government agencies in North Korea. We verify current destination-authority requirements before starting each case.
Q: Do you handle end-to-end?
A: Yes. We coordinate Notary → Translation → MFA → Embassy → international courier (DHL/FedEx) to your address in North Korea (Pyongyang or other cities) within 3–5 days after the final step.
