CTC vs Self-Signed Copy — Key Differences
Many wonder why Notary CTC is needed when you can photocopy and sign "certified true copy" yourself. Key differences: Self-signed copy — only for domestic Thai use, not accepted internationally, no legal weight abroad, easily forged. Notary CTC — internationally recognized, has Notarial Seal, has registry number, traceable, legally binding, accepted by foreign financial institutions and government agencies, can be further Apostilled or consular-legalized. Summary: Self-signed = domestic Thai use; Notary CTC = international use.
Can Expired ID Cards Be Certified?
FAQ: Can expired ID cards be CTC-certified? Answer: Yes, but with caveats. Notary can certify expired ID copies with a note stating expiry date. Recommendations: 1) If possible, renew ID before CTC for updated info; 2) Some foreign agencies reject CTC from expired IDs — check first; 3) If name changed but ID not updated, must renew first; 4) If address changed, old ID shows old address — update first. Thai Notary Law always recommends renewing ID before CTC to avoid issues.
