Ano ang Thai Notary Public?

Sa Thailand, ang mga serbisyo ng notaryo ay ibinibigay ng mga lisensiyadong abogado na dumaan sa espesyal na pagsasanay at naging Notarial Services Attorney sa ilalim ng The Lawyers Council of Thailand. Ang kanilang pirma at selyo ay may parehong legal na epekto sa 125 estado ng Hague Convention at lahat ng bansa na nangangailangan ng Apostille/MFA certification. Maaari itong direktang gamitin para sa pagpaparehistro ng kumpanya sa ibang bansa, transaksyon sa ari-arian, paggamit ng birth cert, transnasyonal na litigasyon, aplikasyon sa pag-aaral abroad, at iba pa. Bawat notarization ay may kasamang numero ng lisensya ng abogado, rehistradong address, at electronic na nabe-verify na talaan, na sumusunod sa Article 3 ng Apostille Convention 1961.

Mga Pangunahing Uri ng Dokumento na Aming Hinahawakan

Power of Attorney (POA, kasama ang pagbili/pagbenta ng ari-arian, pagbubukas ng bank account, kinatawan ng kumpanya, kinatawan ng litigasyon), Pagdeklara ng Pagka-Single, Pagdeklara ng Relasyon, Certified True Copies ng Diploma at Transcript, Business Contracts, Corporate Board Resolutions, Certified True Copies ng Passport at ID Card, Imbitasyon sa Visa, Pagdeklara ng Overseas Marriage Registration, Adoption at Guardianship Documents, Intelektwal na Ari-arian Transfer Statement, Cross-border E-commerce Authorization Letters, at marami pa.

Mga Espesyalan para sa Kliyenteng OFW

Ang aming koponan ay may mga tauhan na sanay magsalita ng Mandarin, Cantonese, at English. Pamilyar sila sa proseso ng dual certification ng Chinese Embassy at Consulates sa Thailand (na alinsunod sa mga kinakailangan ng iba't ibang Immigration Administrations sa Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, at Chengdu). Maaari kaming tumulong sa karagdagang Chinese Consular Certification (dual certification) para sa paggamit sa Mainland China. Nagbibigay kami ng electronic scan copies para sa pre-screening ng mga ahensya sa Pilipinas, upang maiwasan ang paulit-ulit na pagbiyahe.

Saklaw ng Serbisyo sa Bangkok at Buong Bansa

Ang aming Bangkok office ay matatagpuan sa 18th Floor, Interchange 21 Building, Sukhumvit Road (BTS Asok / MRT Sukhumvit). Mayroon din kaming dalawang branch office sa Phrom Phong (9th Floor, EmQuartier) at Silom (22nd Floor, Silom Complex). Para sa mga lugar na may mataas na konsentrasyon ng mga Filipino kliyante tulad ng Huai Khwang, Ratchadaphisek, Phra Khanong, On Nut, Bang Na, Chinatown (Yaowarat), maaaring mag-arrange ng mobile notary service on-site. Mayroon din kaming mga partner lawyer sa lahat ng 73 probinsya. May mga residenteng abogado sa Phuket, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Koh Samui, at Hat Yai, kaya hindi na kailangang lumipad pabalik sa Bangkok.

Remote Online Notarization (RON)

Para sa mga kliyente na nasa Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, o iba pang bansa na hindi makapunta sa Bangkok, nagbibigay kami ng serbisyong Remote Online Notarization (RON). Ito ay sa pamamagitan ng Zoom o Tencent Meeting kasama ang KYC identity verification. Ang abogado ay sabay na pipirma at magse-selyo, at ang dokumento ay ipapadala sa pamamagitan ng EMS / DHL, na tumatagal ng 1–2 business days. Ang RON ay angkop para sa ilang estado sa US/Canada, Singapore, UK, at iba pang hurisdiksyon na kumikilala sa remote notarization; para sa paggamit sa Mainland China, mangyaring kumpirmahin muna sa tumatanggap na ahensya ang kanilang pagtanggap.

On-Site Notarization at Express Services

Libreng on-site service sa 5 distrito ng Bangkok (may 24-hour advance notice). Ang presyo sa labas ng Bangkok ay depende sa distansya. Para sa same-day express service: kung makumpirma bago mag 11 AM, matatapos bago mag 5 PM. Maaari ding mag-arrange ng overnight/weekend express service na may 50% surcharge. Airport pickup (BKK/DMK) ay customized din, angkop para sa mga bumibisita sa Thailand panandalian para lamang sa notarization.

Karagdagang Paghahanda ng Dokumento para sa mga Dayuhang Kliyente

Ang mga kliyente na may Philippine passport ay kailangang magpakita ng orihinal na balidong passport + balidong Thai visa page + entry stamp. Ang mga kliyente na may Work Permit o long-term visa (LTR, Elite, Retirement) ay maaaring magkaroon ng mas malawak na karapatan sa pagbibigay ng dokumento. Para sa POA na kinasasangkutan ng ari-arian, equity ng kumpanya, o representasyon sa litigasyon, bibigyan ng karagdagang verification ng abogado ang pagkakakilanlan ng benepisyaryo at kailangan ang bilingual na salin para protektahan ang legal na interes ng kliyente.

Koneksyon sa Apostille / MFA / Embassy Link

Ang notarization ay unang hakbang lamang sa legalisasyon. Ang mga dokumento para sa mga miyembro ng Hague Convention (kasama ang Pilipinas) ay nangangailangan ng Apostille (4–7 business days, 48 hours for express). Para sa mga hindi miyembro, ang ruta ay MFA + dual certification ng embahada ng destinasyong bansa sa Thailand. Nagbibigay ang NYC Legal ng comprehensive one-stop service mula sa drafting, translation, notarization, MFA, hanggang sa embassy certification. Kailangan lang dumaan ng kliyente ng isang beses sa aming opisina.

Madalas Itanong

Ano pa ang kailangan kong gawin pagkatapos ng notarization para magamit ito sa Pilipinas?

Bagama't malapit nang ganap na ipatupad ang The Hague Apostille Convention sa Pilipinas, maaaring asahan ang mga pagbabago sa kinakailangan ng ilang mga ahensya. Para sa mga dokumentong inisyu sa Thailand na may Apostille, maaari itong direktang gamitin sa Pilipinas. Gayunpaman, ilang domestic agency (tiyak na PNP, specialized industry regulators) ay maaaring mangailangan pa rin ng legalization ng Embahada ng Pilipinas sa Thailand. Kaya, pinapayuhan na kumpirmahin nang maaga sa tumatanggap na ahensya sa Pilipinas.

Kailangan ba ang personal na pagdalo?

Sa prinsipyo, kinakailangan ang personal na pagdalo. Dapat personal na i-verify ng abogado ang iyong pagkakakilanlan at hangarin na pumirma. Kung hindi ka makapunta, maaaring mag-arrange ng remote video notarization (angkop para sa ilang dokumento) o abogado on-site service.

Tumatanggap ba kayo ng WeChat Pay/Alipay?

Oo. Tumatanggap kami ng WeChat Pay, Alipay, UnionPay, PayPal, Wise, SWIFT transfer, at local Thai bank transfer (KBANK/SCB/BBL/KTB) at PromptPay.

Maaari ba itong iproseso sa labas ng Bangkok?

Oo. Mayroon kaming residenteng abogado sa Phuket, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Koh Samui, at Hat Yai; at on-site coordination sa iba pang probinsya. Kailangan lang i-mail ang orihinal na dokumento sa pamamagitan ng EMS / DHL, at matatapos sa loob ng 3–5 business days.

Maaari ba akong magpa-notarize kung mayroon akong tourist visa?

Oo. Kailangan lamang ang balidong passport + entry stamp. Kung ang dokumento ay kinasasangkutan ng ari-arian sa Thailand, equity ng kumpanya, o representasyon sa litigasyon, maaaring kailanganin ang karagdagang dokumento.

Saan magagamit ang RON (Remote Online Notarization)?

Magagamit ito sa ilang estado ng US (Florida, Texas, Nevada, at iba pang estado na kumikilala sa remote notarization), ilang probinsya ng Canada, UK, Singapore, at ilang layunin sa Australia. Mangyaring kumpirmahin sa tumatanggap na partido bago gamitin sa iba pang hurisdiksyon.

Maaari bang sabay-sabay iproseso ang translation + notarization + Apostille?

Oo. Ang one-stop package ay nagsisimula sa THB 7,500, na tumatagal ng 4–7 business days, 48 oras para sa express. Kailangan lang dumaan ng kliyente ng isang beses sa aming opisina.

In-depth Q&A

Are your notarial certificates accepted by foreign embassies and overseas authorities?

Yes. Every notarial act is signed by an attorney registered on the Lawyers Council of Thailand notarial roster and bears a bilingual Thai/English certificate. The signature and seal are filed with the Council and recognised by the Department of Consular Affairs for onward MFA legalisation and embassy authentication.

Do I need to legalise my document after notarisation?

If the document will be used inside Thailand the notary stamp alone is usually sufficient. If it leaves Thailand it must continue the chain: notary → MFA Department of Consular Affairs → either the destination embassy in Bangkok, or — for Hague Convention members — a single Apostille issued by the MFA.

How fast can you complete an end-to-end legalisation?

Standard packages clear in 5–7 business days (notary 1 day + MFA 2 days + embassy 2–4 days). Express channels can compress this to 48–72 hours for Bangkok-based embassies that accept walk-in submissions.

Which destinations now accept the Hague Apostille from Thailand?

All 125+ Convention member states accept the Thai MFA Apostille issued from 28 February 2027. Non-member destinations (notably China for non-Hong Kong/Macau use, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait for many document types) still require the traditional embassy chain.

Do you handle translations in languages other than English?

Yes. We deliver certified translations between Thai and 50+ languages including Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Hindi, Vietnamese, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia and most European, Middle Eastern and East-Asian languages.

Can you act for clients who are not physically in Thailand?

Yes. Documents can be couriered into Bangkok (DHL/FedEx), processed through the full chain, and returned to any of 195 countries with signed proof of delivery. Mobile-notary appointments are available across all 50 Bangkok districts; provincial coverage is arranged through agent counsel.

Do you provide invoices and VAT receipts for corporate clients?

Yes. NYC Legal & Notary Services Co., Ltd. (DBD registration 0435567000061) issues full Thai tax invoices including 7% VAT, suitable for HR, immigration, finance and procurement reconciliation.

What identification do I need to bring to a notary appointment?

An original government-issued photo ID (passport for non-Thais; Thai national ID card for Thai citizens) plus the original document to be notarised. For corporate matters please also bring the certified company affidavit (หนังสือรับรองบริษัท) dated within the past 30 days.

Glossary of key terms

Apostille
A single-page certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention by a designated Competent Authority (in Thailand, the MFA Department of Consular Affairs) that authenticates the signature, seal, and capacity of the public official who signed the underlying public document. Eliminates the need for embassy legalisation in the 130 contracting parties.
Notarial Services Attorney (NSA)
A Thai lawyer who has completed the Lawyers Council of Thailand notarial training programme and is entered on the official notarial roster. Only NSAs may execute notarial acts in the Kingdom; foreign notaries public have no jurisdiction inside Thailand.
MFA legalisation
Authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Department of Consular Affairs, Chaeng Watthana, Bangkok. Required as the step between Thai notarisation and any foreign-embassy authentication, and as the source step for the Apostille.
Embassy legalisation
The final authentication step performed by the destination country's embassy or consulate in Bangkok. Required for documents destined for non-Hague members (China mainland, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Vietnam for some document types).
Kor Ror (คร.)
The series of original Thai civil registry forms — kor ror 2 (marriage), kor ror 3 (marriage certificate), kor ror 22 (divorce), kor ror 6 (family book) — issued by the local amphur (district office). Only kor ror originals or amphur-certified copies are accepted for legalisation.
DBD affidavit
Corporate certificate issued by the Department of Business Development confirming a Thai juristic person's directors, registered capital, objectives and authorised signatories. Must be dated within 30 days of submission for notarial use.
Certified translation
A translation accompanied by a signed translator's affidavit listing the source/target language pair, translator credential number, and a dated statement of fidelity. In Thailand this is delivered on agency letterhead with the corporate seal.
NAATI
National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (Australia). The mandatory translator credential for documents submitted to Australian Home Affairs, state births-deaths-marriages registries, AHPRA, and most Australian universities.
Sworn translation
A translation prepared by a court-sworn translator (notably required in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Brazil). Thailand has no equivalent statutory framework; the closest is the MoJ-translator roster used for court proceedings.
Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)
Issued by the Royal Thai Police, Special Branch Bureau. Requires a ten-fingerprint card taken at a Royal Thai Police station; standard turnaround 14–21 business days.
PDPA
Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act, B.E. 2562 (2019). Every client file is held in a case-numbered audit trail with explicit consent, retention period, and right-of-erasure procedures.
Express track
Same-day or 24-hour processing tier available for MFA legalisation, Apostille, and selected embassy chains. Subject to MFA queue availability and a per-document surcharge.

Twelve most common rejection reasons & remedies

  1. 1. Document not in original form

    Remedy: Re-issue the original from the issuing authority (amphur, DBD, university registrar, court clerk) before resubmission. Photocopies, scans, and digital prints are rejected by MFA.

  2. 2. Signature in red, gel, or stamp-pad ink

    Remedy: Re-execute the document with black or blue ballpoint or fountain-pen ink. MFA OCR cannot reliably capture non-standard ink.

  3. 3. DBD affidavit older than 30 days

    Remedy: Request a fresh DBD affidavit at any Department of Business Development counter (THB 200, same-day issuance) and resubmit.

  4. 4. Translation lacks translator credential number

    Remedy: Re-issue the translation with the translator's full name, certification body, credential number and dated affidavit on agency letterhead.

  5. 5. Multi-page document not page-numbered or unbound

    Remedy: Number each page as n/total (e.g. 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4) and bind with a notarial ribbon or staple. MFA rejects loose pages.

  6. 6. Photograph older than six months

    Remedy: Take a fresh 35×45 mm white-background photograph; visa-format photos are accepted by MFA and most embassies.

  7. 7. Police Clearance fingerprint card incomplete

    Remedy: Return to a Royal Thai Police station for a clean ten-finger and palm-print card; partial prints invalidate the application.

  8. 8. Power of Attorney missing passport details

    Remedy: Re-execute the POA listing both principal and attorney full passport number, nationality, date of birth and present address; both pages of the passport copy must be attached.

  9. 9. Apostille submitted before MFA legalisation

    Remedy: Apostille is only available on documents that have first cleared MFA Consular Affairs. Submit the MFA legalisation step first, then the Apostille.

  10. 10. Embassy chain missing MFA cover sheet

    Remedy: Most embassies require the green MFA cover sheet on top of the source document and translation. Re-attach in the correct order before resubmission.

  11. 11. Kor Ror submitted as plain photocopy

    Remedy: Return to the issuing amphur for a certified copy bearing the amphur's seal and the registrar's wet signature; plain photocopies are not accepted.

  12. 12. Bilingual notarial certificate language mismatch

    Remedy: Verify that the certificate is bilingual Thai/English (the embassy-friendly format) rather than Thai-only; re-issue if necessary.
