Details
A Power of Attorney (General or Specific) for overseas use must have its signature notarised by a Thai Notarial Services Attorney before being certified-translated (NAATI/Sworn) and legalised at the destination embassy. We review your draft in Thai and English, verify the ID/passport of the principal and attorney-in-fact, witness the signing, apply the embossed seal, and issue a Notarial Certificate reading 'signature affixed in my presence'. Common uses: overseas property transactions, ATO / bank / superannuation matters in Australia, corporate share transfers, and cross-border litigation.

Frequently asked
- Which POAs need notarisation?
- Every POA intended for overseas use — General, Specific, and Enduring. POAs used solely within Thailand (e.g. selling a car) don't require notarisation.
- Do both principal and attorney-in-fact need to appear?
- The principal must sign in front of the notary; the attorney-in-fact does not (but a copy of their ID/passport is required). If they are abroad, they should sign before a local notary separately.
- Do I need to apostille/legalise after notarisation?
- Thailand acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026, but it only enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027 (HCCH); until then, for Australian use, most POAs proceed to MFA (Thai consular) plus Australian Embassy legalisation. We can bundle this as a full package.
- Can you translate into English too?
- Yes — add NAATI certified translation at fees on request (POAs are typically 1–2 pages) to the same invoice, delivered together.
- How broad can a POA be?
- A Specific POA covers a single matter (safer); a General POA covers everything (riskier). We recommend Specific for property and banking; our attorney can draft to your requirements.
- What is the validity period?
- Stated in the POA itself, e.g. 6 months or until completion. Enduring POAs (surviving incapacity) are recognised in Australia subject to each state's rules.
