Board or shareholder meeting minutes and resolutions — what should you know about powers of attorney and stamp duty?

What the enquirer needs to know is “Board or shareholder meeting minutes and resolutions”, so it separates what is specific to this file from the standard certification chain. The terms that frame this page are Board · shareholder · meeting · minutes. The specifics here are document type: Resolution, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. Before starting, check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. What sets this case apart is the number of certified sets and the window in which they must be used. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. After filing, follow up on the cycle the office states rather than waiting past the deadline. A power of attorney is governed by the agency provisions of the Civil and Commercial Code and must bear stamp duty under the Stamp Duty Schedule of the Revenue Code; state the scope, the validity period and the attorney's name exactly as in the passport or ID card, because the receiving side checks the names character by character. Only directors signing in the manner stated in the company certificate — the required number of joint signatories and the company seal where noted — can bind the company; a signature that does not match those conditions is usually rejected by the bank or authority at the checking stage. Where the destination asks for a director's signature to be witnessed, a certified true copy, or a certified translation, a Notarial Services Attorney licensed under the Lawyers Council of Thailand's regulations can certify it; Thailand has no common-law notary public office, so this is the equivalent domestic channel. ILC handles document work only — translation, certification of the translation, notarial signature certification and the legalisation run at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies. ILC is not a registrar, auditor or tax adviser and cannot guarantee the decision of any authority or counterparty. Cost and lead time depend on page count, the language pair and the certification steps the destination requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
