Governing legal references
Translation and certification of public documents for overseas use follows the ISO 17100:2015 Translation Services standard. Our certified translations are issued with a Certified Translation Statement and notarial seal.
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.
Apostille procedure follows the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public documents. Thailand’s Apostille accession (30 June 2026) only enters into force on 28 February 2027, so documents bound for Hague member states must always pass MFA + destination embassy.
