Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Thai notarization accepted in Somalia?
A: Yes, through the full legalization chain: Thai Notary → Thai MFA → Somalia Embassy in Bangkok. Somalia 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) → Somalia Embassy in Bangkok → ready to use
Q: Which authority in Somalia issues the Apostille / receives legalized documents?
A: Once legalized by the Somalia Embassy in Bangkok, documents can be filed directly with the destination authority in Somalia (immigration, courts, civil registry — capital: Mogadishu).
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.
Q: How long does it take?
A: 7–18 business days end-to-end. Express service can reduce turnaround by 30–50% for urgent cases.
Q: Does Somalia have an embassy in Bangkok?
A: Somalia does not maintain a resident mission in Bangkok. Where embassy legalization is required, we coordinate through the mission accredited to Thailand (typically located in Jakarta, Singapore, or Kuala Lumpur) on your behalf.
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 Somalia?
A: Documents typically need to be in SO or bilingual (English + local language). We provide certified translation by translators registered with Somalia authorities.
Q: Where is Somalia and are there any regional considerations?
A: Somalia is located in Africa, with Mogadishu as its capital. Documents that complete the full legalization chain are accepted by all government agencies in Somalia. 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 Somalia (Mogadishu or other cities) within 3–5 days after the final step.
