Affidavit notarisation for Germany — 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 Germany, a Hague Apostille is sufficient 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 Germany, (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 Germany embassy/consulate (or Apostille office) 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 Germany embassy fees are billed as government pass-throughs — every quote includes the full breakdown.

Acceptance in Germany

Acceptance in Germany: Germany is a Hague Apostille party — after Notary + MFA, an Apostille suffices in lieu of embassy legalization, which is faster. The Affidavit pack is assembled with notarial certificate, apostille/embassy stamp and certified translation in the exact order required by the destination authority.

Turnaround timeline

Typical timeline: notary appointment day 1 → MFA 1-3 business days → Apostille 1-2 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 Germany include wrong jurat/affidavit phrasing, uncertified translations, or out-of-order legalization. Our pre-check workflow eliminates these failure modes; if Germany rejects due to our error, we refund the notarial fee.
