Affidavit notarisation for Overseas — Thailand

Legal basis

Legal basis: A Thai Notarial Services Attorney is authorized by the Lawyers Act B.E. 2528 and Council regulations to perform acknowledgements, jurats/affidavits, certified copies, translation certifications and statements of fact. For overseas, consular legalization plus the destination embassy attestation is required after MFA. Wrong format equals rejection — every notarization here is pre-formatted for the destination authority.

Service workflow

Workflow for Affidavit in Thailand: (1) submit scans plus destination purpose, (2) we audit format/language/affidavit suitability for overseas, (3) you sign in front of the Notary Public at our office or your preferred location, (4) ID is verified and the notarial seal applied, (5) originals, copies and certified translation are bundled with a cover letter, (6) MFA legalizes the notary signature, (7) the overseas embassy/consulate attests, (8) tracked delivery to you or directly to the destination authority.

Fees and pricing

Notary fee for Affidavit ranges from ฿800 to ฿1,500 per set, varying with page count, complexity and language. Same-day rush adds 30-50%; on-site notary in Thailand adds travel fee. MFA and overseas embassy fees are billed as government pass-throughs — every quote includes the full breakdown.

Turnaround timeline

Typical timeline: notary appointment day 1 → MFA 1-3 business days → overseas embassy 2-7 business days, totaling ~3-10 business days subject to embassy queue. Same-day rush slots are available within 2 hours during office hours, with same-day MFA courier in Thailand.

Audience-specific pain points

Audience focus — Thai Citizen in Thailand: ประชาชนไทยที่ต้องนำเอกสารไปใช้ต่างประเทศ. Common rejection causes from overseas include wrong jurat/affidavit phrasing, uncertified translations, or out-of-order legalization. Our pre-check workflow eliminates these failure modes; if overseas rejects due to our error, we refund the notarial fee.
