U.S. Embassy Bangkok-specific notes

U.S. Embassy provides notarial services by appointment only. They notarise signatures and execute affidavits, but do NOT authenticate Thai-issued documents — that is the Thai MFA's role. For documents going to U.S. authorities, the chain is Thai MFA → optional U.S. Embassy notarial service depending on the receiving agency. USCIS accepts Thai MFA-legalized documents with a certified English translation.

Translation of the data page is rarely required (it is already bilingual), but a notarized certified copy is frequently requested.
