- Family-status evidence such as marriage certificate or birth certificate when the record relates to family status
- Valid Thai national ID card or non-expired passport (for foreigners — including the latest visa stamp or entry stamp)
- Original records to be certified, plus one photocopy — do not staple them together before submission

Legal basis and standards
Translation and certification of public records for overseas use follows the ISO 17100:2015 Translation Services guideline. Our certified translations are issued with a Certified Translation Statement and notarial seal.
Our Chiang Mai office issues receipts and tax invoices under the Revenue Code B.E. 2481 (and amendments) with full 7% VAT — suitable for corporate applicants claiming the expense or input tax credit.
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.
Apostille procedure follows the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public records. Thailand’s Apostille accession (30 June 2026) only enters into force on 28 February 2027, so records bound for Hague member states must always pass MFA + destination embassy.
