□ Can I get a "US Notary" in Bangkok?
Technically, a "US Notary Public" only has jurisdiction within the USA. However, in Thailand, you have two main options for notarizing US documents:
- Option 1 (The Embassy): Book an appointment with the US Embassy in Bangkok (ACS Unit). This can be difficult to schedule and expensive ($50/seal).
- Option 2 (NYC Legal - The Convenient Choice): Use our Notarial Services Attorney (Thai Notary). Many US institutions accept this, especially if accompanied by MFA Legalization. We can also draft your documents correctly before you go to the Embassy if strictly required.
- Expert Advice: Always check with your US receiving party (e.g., Title Company, Bank) if they accept a "Foreign Notary" (Thai Attorney) or require an "Embassy Consular Seal." We help you navigate this.

Core Services for US Citizens & Expats
Specialized support for American legal documents, real estate, and banking.
1. US Real Estate Documents (Deed/Closing)
Selling or buying property in the US while in Thailand? We are experts in handling US Closing Documents, Deeds, and Affidavits. If your Title Company allows a Thai Notary (Notarial Services Attorney), we can execute the documents immediately. If they require a US Consular Seal, we help prepare the package to ensure a smooth embassy visit.
2. Affidavit of Single Status
For US citizens wishing to marry in Thailand, you need an affidavit from the US Embassy. We assist in booking the appointment, checking your documents, translating the approved affidavit into Thai, and legalizing it at the Thai MFA so you can register your marriage at the District Office.
3. Certified True Copy of US Passport
Need to prove your identity for a Thai bank, insurance, or work permit? We provide a "Certified True Copy" of your US Passport by a licensed attorney. This is widely accepted by Thai institutions (Bangkok Bank, SCB, etc.) and government bodies.
4. US Banking & Financial Forms
We notarize signatures on US banking forms such as Power of Attorney for banking, Retirement withdrawal forms (401k/IRA), and Pension verification ("Proof of Life"). Our attorneys are familiar with US notary blocks and formats.
5. MFA Legalization & Consular Authentication
If you use a Thai Notary for US documents, the receiver often requires "Authentication." We handle the full legalization chain: Notary Signature -> Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Legalization -> US Embassy Authentication (if applicable/required).
6. Passport & Citizenship Services
We assist with certified translations required for US Citizenship applications (CRBA) for children born in Thailand. We ensure all Thai documents (Birth Certificates, etc.) are translated accurately into English as per US State Department standards.
7. Police Clearance for US Immigration
Applying for a US Green Card or Visa? You may need a Thai Police Clearance Certificate. We assist US citizens and former residents in obtaining this document from the Royal Thai Police Headquarters efficiently.
8. Translation for US Visa (USCIS)
Submitting documents to USCIS? We provide certified English translations of Thai documents (Marriage Certificates, Name Changes, Divorce Decrees) that meet strict USCIS requirements for accuracy and format.

Important Advisory for US Documents
Before using our service, please verify with your receiving party in the US (e.g., your Title Company or Bank) if they accept a "Thai Notarial Services Attorney" (Foreign Notary). If they strictly require a "US Consular Seal," you MUST go to the US Embassy. We can help you prepare the documents, but we cannot replace the US Consul for federal requirements.
