FAQ
How is a Thai notary different from a Thai district officer (Amphoe)?
The Amphoe certifies copies only for domestic use inside Thailand. A notary produces a certificate accepted overseas and it is the required first step before the MFA / Apostille / destination-embassy chain.
Is the notarial certificate in English?
Every notarial certificate is bilingual TH/EN by default. CN/JP/KR/DE/FR/ES/AR/RU add-ons available on request.
Does the notary have to be specially registered?
Only lawyers registered as Notarial Services Attorneys with the Lawyers Council of Thailand may notarise. NYC Legal has six such attorneys on staff.
How much and how fast?
THB 800–1,500 · 1–3 hours at our office (by appointment) · same-day express available (+50%).
Payment methods?
Thai bank transfer, PromptPay, credit card, PayPal — THB and major foreign currencies.
Do I have to come in person to sign?
Yes — signing must take place in front of the notary. Alternatively use our mobile dispatch to have a notary travel to your home, hospital or office.
What happens after notarisation?
Most documents next go to the Thai MFA for the Apostille (in force 14 Feb 2026) or destination-embassy legalisation. We handle the full downstream chain end-to-end.
Cancellation policy?
