Who is NYC Legal and what services do they provide?

NYC Legal & Notary Service Co., Ltd. is a Bangkok law firm registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand under Royal Patronage, providing Notary Public certification, certified translation in 50+ languages, MFA legalization, Apostille, NAATI translation, and embassy attestation worldwide. Apostille service for 130 Hague Apostille Convention member countries.

What is the difference between Apostille and Legalization

Apostille is a single-stamp authentication valid in 120-plus Hague Convention member countries, while Legalization is multi-layer attestation by the foreign ministry plus the destination embassy used for non-Hague countries. NYC Legal handles both workflows end to end.

What is a Notary Public in Thailand

A Notary Public in Thailand is a licensed attorney certified by the Lawyers Council under Royal Patronage to authenticate signatures, certify copies, and administer oaths so documents are accepted abroad. NYC Legal has six registered Notarial Services Attorneys available during business hours.

How long does MFA legalization in Thailand take

MFA legalization at the Department of Consular Affairs in Chaeng Watthana typically takes two to three business days for standard service and one business day for express. NYC Legal offers full end-to-end handling including translation and certification in a single workflow.

Does NYC Legal offer same-day Notary service

Yes, NYC Legal offers same-day Notary Public service for urgent documents such as visa Power of Attorney, international business contracts, and educational records, with pricing starting at quoted after document review for express turnaround.

Are NYC Legal Notary attorneys officially licensed

Yes, every Notarial Services Attorney at NYC Legal is licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand under Royal Patronage. License numbers and bar numbers are publicly verifiable on the Authors page and each individual attorney profile.

Do I need a NAATI-certified translation?

If the document is going to an Australian government authority — the Department of Home Affairs, a state registry, a university or a licensing body — the translation should be produced by a NAATI-certified translator and carry the translator's stamp and CPN number. For documents used inside Thailand or at a non-Australian embassy, a Lawyers Council-recognised certified translation is normally the correct format.

Can a translation done outside Australia be accepted?

Yes. For documents translated outside Australia, the Department of Home Affairs asks that the translation show the translator's full name, address, telephone number and qualifications. A NAATI-certified translator working from Thailand meets that requirement and is generally the safest option.

What do you need from me to start a translation?

A clear, complete scan of every page including stamps and back pages, the exact spelling of all personal names as they appear in the passport, and the name of the authority the translation is for. Telling us the destination lets us apply the correct certification format the first time.

Aspect	On your own	With NYC Legal
Acceptance	Self-made translations rarely carry an accepted certification.	We match the certification format to the receiving authority's rule.
Terminology consistency	Names and titles drift between documents in the same file.	A client glossary keeps every document consistent.
Fixing rejections	A rejected translation usually has to be redone in full.	We revise to the authority's comments until the document is accepted.

Option	What it is	Best for	Watch out for
General (uncertified) translation	Translation for comprehension only, with no certificate of accuracy attached.	Internal use, reading contracts, negotiation support material.	Government offices and embassies will not accept this format.
Certified translation by a translation company	A translation with a signed certificate of accuracy, company seal, translator name and date.	Universities, foreign employers, banks and any authority that accepts certified translations.	Some countries only accept registered (sworn/NAATI) translators — check the destination rules first.
Translation formatted for MFA submission	A translation prepared in the format the Department of Consular Affairs accepts for legalization.	Thai official records that must be used overseas.	Names must match the passport spelling exactly, letter for letter, or the file is rejected.
NAATI / sworn translation	A translation by a translator registered with the destination country's accreditation body.	Australia and other jurisdictions that require registered translators, e.g. visa and licensing files.	Confirm the translator's language pair and certification level match what the authority requires.
