FAQ
What if the destination country is NOT a Hague member?
The old MFA + destination-embassy chain still applies. NYC Legal handles both regimes end-to-end — tell us the destination and we route correctly.
What is an Apostille?
An Apostille is a single-stamp legalisation defined by the Hague Convention 1961. It replaces the traditional two-step embassy chain. Thailand joins the regime effective 28 February 2027, and 130 contracting parties accept the same certificate.
Can I use this service from outside Bangkok?
Yes — courier scans or originals to our office; we process and return via DHL/EMS. Coverage: all 77 Thai provinces and 125 destination countries.
Do I need to come in person?
No. Our team handles every step for you. Send documents via LINE @NYCLI or EMS to our office. We return the finished set via DHL/EMS worldwide.
When did Thailand join the Hague Apostille Convention?
Thailand deposited its instrument of accession on 30 June 2026 and the Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
quoted on request all-in (MFA fee + certified translation + delivery). Turnaround 7–14 business days. Express 3–5 business days (+50%).
Does the document need translating first?
In most cases yes — into the destination language (English, German, French, Japanese, etc.) with a certified translator's stamp, before the MFA Apostille step. Our package includes the certified translation.
How does this differ from the old MFA legalisation?
Old flow: MFA stamp + destination embassy stamp (two hops). New Apostille flow: a single MFA stamp is enough. Time and cost drop by 30–50%.
