Do I need to sign in front of the notary?

Yes — a Notary Public must physically sight the original document and the holder to certify 'sighted the original'. Book our Asok BTS office or request a mobile notary (travel fee quoted on request).

Is it accepted by the Australian embassy?

Yes — the Australian Embassy (Bangkok, Chiang Mai) and VFS accept notarised copies issued by a Thai Notarial Services Attorney registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand.

Can you notarise a foreign passport?

Yes — passports of any nationality. Bring the original; fees are quoted on request.

Does it need translation first?

Not necessarily — Certified True Copy attests that the copy matches the original, not the language. Bundle a certified English translation on the same invoice if needed.

Can I do this from overseas / upcountry?

Contact our team before shipping originals so we can confirm the appropriate certification steps. Shipping fees are quoted on request.

How long does the certification remain valid?

Notarial certification does not expire, but most receiving authorities require the document to be under 3–6 months old. We recommend using within 3 months.
