Companies are registered with the Department of Business Development (DBD) or through its e-Registration system under the regulations in force.
Clients in Bangkok can walk in at Bangkok Headquarters (Lat Phrao 95).
Bangkok hosts almost every embassy accredited to Thailand, and the Department of Consular Affairs, which legalises documents, sits on Chaeng Watthana Road in Lak Si. Clients in the capital can therefore usually finish all three stages in one city: notarial attestation by a Notarial Services Attorney, translation, and legalisation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the relevant embassy. What slows Bangkok files down is rarely distance; it is appointment queues and cross-town travel at rush hour, so the order in which you visit each office matters more here than elsewhere.
Our head office is on Lat Phrao 95, so documents can be signed in person there. Before any government visit we tell you which steps you must attend yourself and which can be done under a power of attorney, because some embassies insist that the applicant appears in person. Building the plan around those fixed appearances is usually what saves the most time in Bangkok.
Many Bangkok clients use the same document set with several authorities, for example an affidavit of single status at an embassy and then at a district office for marriage registration. Tell us at the start every place the document will be used. We can then prepare enough originals and certified copies in a single round, instead of reopening the file after the first authority keeps the only original. If you are working to an embassy appointment date, send us that date too, so the attestation and translation are finished with a margin before you queue.
In Bangkok a company can be registered through the Department of Business Development online system or at its Bangkok offices. Check the registered address and lease first, because the same premises are used for VAT registration and any Revenue Department site check.
Central Thailand links service, trading, logistics and head-office activity with Bangkok. Premises evidence and the competent Revenue Office should therefore be checked together.
Before filing in Bangkok, confirm the Revenue Office responsible for the real address and appoint a premises contact for official correspondence or a factual inspection.
Company filings are handled by DBD, while VAT registration is handled by the Revenue Department office responsible for the Bangkok premises. Names, addresses and signing authority must remain consistent across both filings.

The reserved name duplicates or resembles an existing entity
The registrar screens for identical and confusingly similar names as well as restricted words; submit several alternatives when reserving.
Objectives are too broad or cover licensed activities
Objectives naming activities that require a separate licence must be removed or evidenced with that licence; keep the objectives aligned to the real business.
Registered signing authority conflicts with how documents were signed
The authority clause — how many directors must sign jointly and whether the seal is affixed — must match how the application and every attachment were actually signed.
Foreign shareholder documents lack the required authentication
Passports or corporate documents issued abroad usually need notarization plus embassy authentication, together with a translation in the form the registrar requires.

In most cases no. Filings with central authorities such as the Department of Consular Affairs or an embassy can be handled on your behalf. Steps that legally require you in person — fingerprinting, or signing in front of the certifying attorney — cannot be delegated.
Turnaround depends on the responsible authority’s queue and rules at the time, so we publish no fixed figure. We tell you the authority’s own published window on the day you ask, plus the steps that usually cause delay.
Our team can review documents and coordinate translation, signature certification, legalisation and embassy steps within the agreed scope. Some steps may still require the document owner to appear or sign in person under the receiving authority’s rules.
We do not publish fixed prices: official fees, page counts and language pairs differ in every case. Send the document details and destination and we will scope the work and cost for your specific case.
Documents can travel by trackable EMS or private courier. Confirm the recipient, address and original-document handling before dispatch; the coordinating destination is Bangkok Headquarters (Lat Phrao 95).
Send the document details and the destination that will receive it. We map the correct chain before starting, flag what usually gets rejected, and run it end to end — as advisers, not just a filing agent.
