Usually yes — except when the document is already in English and Germany accepts English. We confirm before starting.

Can German clients abroad use this service?

Yes — appoint a representative in Thailand or ship documents by international courier; we manage everything and ship back.

Aspect	On your own	With NYC Legal
Choosing the certificate format	You must interpret the destination's rules yourself and risk the wrong wording.	We verify the destination requirement and select wording that is actually accepted.
Booking	You need to find and vet a registered notarial attorney.	Immediate appointments with registered attorneys on our team, including out-of-hours by arrangement.
Follow-on steps	Ministry and embassy steps must be arranged separately.	We sequence the whole chain in one workflow and report status at each stage.

Option	What it is	Best for	Watch out for
Notarial Services Attorney (Thailand)	A lawyer licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand to certify signatures and documents.	Signature and true-copy certification, powers of attorney, documents for foreign schools or companies.	This is not a US-style Notary Public; some receiving parties still require consular legalization on top.
MFA legalization (Department of Consular Affairs)	Certification of the signature/seal of the issuing Thai authority by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.	Thai civil and government records used abroad: house registration, marriage, birth, police clearance.	Translations must follow the format the MFA accepts, otherwise the file is returned and you lose a cycle.
Destination embassy / consulate legalization	A further certification by the destination country's embassy in Thailand after the MFA step.	Countries that do not accept an Apostille, or authorities that explicitly require an embassy stamp.	Each embassy has its own intake days, forms and translation requirements — verify before filing.
Apostille (Hague Convention of 1961)	A single-layer certification used between member states in place of multi-step embassy legalization.	Documents issued in one member state and used in another member state.	Thailand deposited its instrument of accession on 30 June 2026 and the Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027. Until then Thai documents still follow the MFA + embassy route.
