Thai Company Document Notarization for Overseas Filing
Notarize and legalize Thai company documents — affidavit of directors, board resolutions, certificate of incorporation — for use in foreign jurisdictions.
Thai companies expanding overseas frequently need their incorporation documents translated and legalized for foreign banks, courts, partners, or regulators. ILC handles the full chain from DBD to destination embassy.
Document chain
- Request certified copies from DBD
- Translate to English (or other) — certified translator
- Notarize the translation
- MFA certification
- Destination embassy legalization
Frequently asked questions

Certificate of incorporation, list of directors, shareholder list, audited financials, board resolutions, and POAs are the most common.

Common reasons a bundle is rejected

- The signatory must sign in front of the attorney, not beforehand.
- Spell every name exactly as it appears in the passport, across every document in the same bundle.

An advisor, not only a document processor
Before any work starts, our team assesses how many certification layers your document actually needs, which authorities are involved, and the correct order for the office you will really file with. One step out of order usually means restarting the whole bundle. More than 15 years of cross-border document work means we recognise how each authority rejects files and prevent it up front.
- The certification route is matched to the receiving authority before work begins.
- Rejection risks are checked, from name spelling to document validity windows.
- The filing sequence is planned around the deadline you actually have.
