Corporate case: an SME in Thailand using Notary Public (Notarial Services Attorney) to incorporate a Singapore subsidiary

A small enterprise in Thailand wanted to register a subsidiary in Singapore, requiring Notary Public certification and Apostille for 12 documents — MOA, AOA, shareholder minutes, director POA and 3 years of financial statements. We assigned a dedicated project manager covering source-document review, translation by MoJ-registered translators, attorney notarisation and MFA legalisation. The full project closed in 5 business days. The client received all 12 documents in print and digital form, shipped DHL Express to the Singapore counsel — total fee ฿38,400, saving over 70% on travel and coordination versus DIY.

Why Notary Public (Notarial Services Attorney) in Thailand must be performed by a registered Notary Public

Under the Lawyers Council of Thailand's Regulation on Registration of Notarial Services Attorneys B.E. 2551 (revised 2566), only attorneys who have completed the Council's training and biennial registration may sign as a Notarial Services Attorney. Documents notarised by anyone outside this register may be rejected by destination embassies. Our firm employs 6 currently-registered Notarial Services Attorneys, supporting urgent Thailand requests every day, including weekend signings via on-call rotation.

Notary Public (Notarial Services Attorney) in Thailand compared: DIY vs broker vs direct notary law office

DIY: 2-4 trips, 7-14 days, hidden costs in travel/parking/work hours. Broker: cheap headline price but no attorney QC, high rejection risk. Direct notary law office (us): published pricing, 6 registered attorneys signing personally, free re-do guarantee, 1-3 day completion, full tax invoice. For Thailand clients, option 3 wins on time, cost and legal risk.

Apostille for Japan

Non-Hague embassies (e.g., China, Vietnam) still require the full Apostille for Japan → MFA → embassy legalization chain, which we manage end-to-end.

Why Apostille for Japan matters for foreign clients

Non-Hague embassies (e.g., China, Vietnam) still require the full Apostille for Japan → MFA → embassy legalization chain, which we manage end-to-end.

For foreign clients, Apostille for Japan has to fit around visa appointments and embassy lead times — we plan the schedule around your travel date, not ours.

Thai Notary's Apostille for Japan service is built specifically around foreign clients — covering signature notarization, true-copy certification, certified translation review, and direct coordination with destination embassies in a single, traceable workflow.

Who is authorised to perform Apostille for Japan

Every Apostille for Japan we issue carries the attorney's registered seal and credential ID, both verifiable through the Lawyers Council of Thailand.

The authority is granted under the Lawyers Act B.E. 2528 and the Council's 2546 Notarial Services regulations.

The Department of Consular Affairs (MFA) authenticates the attorney's signature in the next step.

Apostille for Japan for Australian Property Investor (Japan)

Australian citizens executing Australian conveyancing, super-fund and ATO documents from Thailand. We have built Apostille for Japan workflows specifically around Australia embassy requirements and timelines.

Most australian property investor packages combine Apostille for Japan with Conveyancing POA and Super Fund POA, plus supporting evidence (passport bio page, address proof) bundled into a single certified pack.

Australia is a Hague Apostille member, so for Japan-issued Apostille for Japan the chain ends at the Department of Consular Affairs — no further embassy stamp is required.

Apostille for Japan routed through the Singapore Embassy in Bangkok (Japan clients)

Standard turnaround at the Embassy of the Republic of Singapore (129 South Sathorn Road, Bangkok 10120) is approximately 3 working days end-to-end, longer when consular holidays fall inside the window.

Because Singapore is in the Hague Apostille Convention, the Embassy itself does not legalize commercial documents — the Apostille from Thailand's MFA is sufficient. However, the Embassy may still notarize affidavits sworn by its nationals.

Documents bound for Singapore typically require translation into EN. We pair the translation with the notarization in a single legalization batch from Japan to save 1–2 days.

Apostille for Japan when used as a Certified marriage certificate (apostille-japan)

Certified marriage certificate engagements rely on Apostille for Japan being executed with the correct certificate type. Marriage certificates issued in Thailand (Khor Ror 2/3) require a Department of Provincial Administration uplift before international use.

For Japan clients, Certified marriage certificate typically pairs with the destination authority's acceptance criteria — we verify the latest format the day before signing to avoid post-MFA rejection on this specific apostille-japan matter.

Procedural note for apostille-japan: Translation pairing

When translation is required, both the original and the translation are sealed together so that the chain remains intact through legalization.

Within the Apostille for Japan workflow, we apply this procedure as a default safeguard so that the document survives both the MFA review and the destination authority's checklist.

Acceptance abroad: Apostille for Japan in Australia for Japan clients

Apostille for Japan produced in Japan, Thailand is accepted in Australia provided the chain is complete and the certificate is current. Australia typically receives such documents through the Apostille register lookup or face-of-document verification.

If your destination authority in Australia requests an additional translator declaration on this apostille-japan matter, we provide one in English signed by the same attorney to keep the chain intact.
