In-depth Questions Clients Ask Most

These are the most frequent questions clients in Punnawithi Station ask before booking Protest of Instruments (Bills, Cheques, Promissory Notes). Each answer is reviewed quarterly by our editorial team against current Lawyers Council, MFA, and embassy guidance, so the dates, fees, and process windows on this page stay accurate.

How long does Protest of Instruments (Bills, Cheques, Promissory Notes) typically take for clients in Punnawithi Station?

Standard turnaround is 1–2 business days for the notary stage, plus 2–3 days at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and 1–7 days at the destination embassy depending on the mission. Express handling can compress the full chain into 24–48 hours for clients with a verified visa appointment or court hearing.

Can the documents be used outside Thailand without further legalisation?

Documents notarised in Thailand are accepted abroad only after the chain — Notary → MFA → Embassy or Apostille — is complete for the destination country. Since Thailand's Hague Apostille membership took effect on 28 February 2027, a single Apostille now replaces embassy legalisation for member states such as the US, UK, Japan, Korea, Germany, France, Australia, and 100+ others.

What identification documents must I bring to the appointment?

For Thai nationals: national ID card plus the original document. For foreigners: passport plus a valid Thai visa or entry stamp. Corporate clients should bring the company affidavit (DBD), the authorised signatory's ID, and the company seal if used in the document.

Do you provide certified translations alongside the notary service?

Yes. NAATI-credentialed translators (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Arabic) work in-house, so the translated version can be notarised the same day. This avoids the common delay of bouncing between a translation vendor and a notary office.

What is your refund or rebooking policy?

If the document is rejected by the MFA or destination embassy due to an error on our side, we re-process at no charge and refund all MFA / embassy fees. If the rejection is due to client-provided information (e.g. spelling or missing supporting documents), we offer a 50% rebooking discount.
