- For companies: certificate of company registration (issued within 3 months) and the authorised signatory's ID
- Family-status evidence such as marriage certificate or birth certificate when the document relates to family status
- Original documents to be certified, plus one photocopy — do not staple them together before submission

Applicable Thai laws
Apostille procedure follows the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public documents. Thailand is not yet a member, so documents bound for Hague member states must always pass MFA + destination embassy.
Notary Public services in Thailand operate under the Lawyers Council of Thailand Regulation on Registration of Notarial Services Attorneys B.E. 2551 (and amendments), which requires every notarising lawyer to complete training and register with the Council.
Legalization by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs follows Department of Consular Affairs regulations — documents must first pass Notary Public, or be Thai government-issued documents that the Department recognises.
NAATI translation for clients targeting Australia follows the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters standard, and is accepted directly by DHA, Centrelink, Medicare, and Australian courts without further MFA or embassy steps.
