requirements-based regulations
Legalization by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs follows Department of Consular Affairs regulations — files must first pass Notary Public, or be Thai government-issued files that the Department recognises.
Apostille procedure follows the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public files. Thailand is not yet a member, so files 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.
NAATI translation for customers 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.
