Notarised Certified True Copy for clients in Chanthaburi

What is a Notarized Certified True Copy in Thailand?

A notarized Certified True Copy in Thailand is a private legal instrument signed before a Notarial Services Attorney — a Thai-licensed lawyer registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand under the Notarial Services Attorney Regulation B.E. 2546 (2003). Unlike civil-law countries that use government notaries, Thailand delegates notarial functions to specially trained attorneys, whose seal and signature are recognised by Thai authorities, foreign embassies, and apostille-issuing offices around the world.

For ทุกคนที่ต้องส่งสำเนาเอกสารให้หน่วยงานต่างประเทศ; นักเรียน/นักศึกษาที่ส่ง transcript; ผู้ที่ส่งสำเนาวุฒิการศึกษาให้บริษัทต่างประเทศ, a properly executed Certified True Copy is the gateway document to nearly every cross-border transaction. Whether you are submitting paperwork to Universities ต่างประเทศ, บริษัทต่างชาติ, Professional bodies, Embassies, the notarial seal is the single piece of evidence that proves your signature is genuine, that you appeared in person, and that you understood the document's contents at the time of signing. Without this seal, foreign authorities will reject your file outright.
