Notarial Services in Thailand
If you need to certify or authenticate a document for legal purposes in Thailand, you will need to obtain the services of a licensed Notarial Services Attorney. Notarial Services are legal services that in most other (western) countries are provided by a Notary Public or a Registered Notary Attorney. These services include attesting documents or authenticating a signature to use in a foreign jurisdiction. In Thailand, “Notary Publics” are called “Notarial Services Attorneys” (NSA) which are qualified attorneys-at-law, trained and certified by the Lawyers Council of Thailand. These are the only class of professional qualified and capable of providing notarial services in Thailand. Whereas there are some other legal acts that foreign “Notary Public” offices perform such as issuing apostilles, legalizing documents, and *certifying protests. Those other legal acts can be facilitated by any Thai lawyer or NSA by having documents legalized at the Thai Consular office (any Thai citizen can in fact use the Thai Consular office directly but it can be made a lot simpler when assisted by a competent Thai lawyer or Attorney, or NSA, and where the service is required by a foreigner, then a Thai Attorney or NSA needs to be used). In simple terms, a Thai Notarial Services Attorney performs the same functions of the western counterpart “Notary Public” officers when it comes to witnessing and authenticating documents.
(*a notarial protest certificate is a document issued by a notary public that declares that a holder of a negotiable instrument (like a check or promissory note) has tried to get payment or acceptance from the person responsible for it (the drawee), but the drawee refused or dishonored the instrument.)

Signers’ Responsibility For Document Content: The content of the documents that signers present to notaries is not the concern of the notaries, as their role is only to verify the identity of the signers. Notaries do not have any duty to check the accuracy or legality of what is written in the documents. Therefore, the signers are the ones who are accountable for what they put in their documents. This disclaimer is in fact indicated in the Notarial Certificate or the NSA’s signature witnessing verification stamp.
