Statutory Declaration notarisation for Saudi Arabia — 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 Saudi Arabia, 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 Statutory Declaration in Thailand: (1) submit scans plus destination purpose, (2) we audit format/language/affidavit suitability for Saudi Arabia, (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 Saudi Arabia embassy/consulate attests, (8) tracked delivery to you or directly to the destination authority.

Fees and pricing

Notary fee for Statutory Declaration ranges from ฿800 to ฿1,800 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 Saudi Arabia embassy fees are billed as government pass-throughs — every quote includes the full breakdown.

Acceptance in Saudi Arabia

Acceptance in Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia is not a Hague party, so embassy/consular legalization is mandatory after MFA. The Statutory Declaration 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 → Saudi Arabia 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 Saudi Arabia include wrong jurat/affidavit phrasing, uncertified translations, or out-of-order legalization. Our pre-check workflow eliminates these failure modes; if Saudi Arabia rejects due to our error, we refund the notarial fee.

Most Saudi Arabia authorities require English or their official language. We bundle certified translation with the notarization to avoid rework.
