Notary Public Bangkok

Notary Public Bangkok. See here.First off, when it comes to notary services for individuals, the fees can vary based on the number of signatures and who’s asking for the service. Keep in mind that notary fees are always separate from travel fees. Now, travel fees depend on things like distance, location, and if it’s after regular hours. The number of documents can also play a role. If you’re cool with all that, you might have to pay some travel fees – but don’t worry, they’ll let you know about those fees before they hit the road.

So, there you have it – the lowdown on notary services for individuals and businesses in Thailand. If you want more details, you can check out the article on notary service Bangkok on our website. Notary Publics play a big role in legal issues. In Thailand, these special lawyer people, call a Notarial Services Attorney, do the Notary Public job or notary public Bangkok. 

To be a Notary Public, lawyers need am additional license from the Thai Lawyers Council. The papers they notarize are accepted everywhere. But for papers about international business, another country or the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs might need to give a thumbs up.

Likewise the Thai Notary Public is like a document which was officially issued by the state to make sure documents, signatures, and important documents are real. They also watch people swear stuff. Notaries have to follow strict rules and can’t just do whatever they want, unlike judges who have more freedom.

The U.S. Embassy in Thailand only notarizes certain U.S. papers. For other papers, we can help use a Thai Notary Service Attorney or notary public in Thailand.

Even though Thailand doesn’t officially have a Notary Public system, certain Thai legal professionals can step into a similar role as Notarial Services attorneys after going through special training. However, papers notarized by them may still need further scrutiny from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Thailand. Likewise also see the Notary Service Thailand on here. 

Similarly, if you want your documents to be accepted for business in another country, a Notary Public might need to give them the green light. Moreover, these Notary Publics or Notarial Services lawyers are officially approved by the Lawyers Council of Thailand to verify legal documents and signatures.

Some documents may require additional checks, either at the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs or sometimes at an embassy, depending on the country. Not all documents can be notarized, and you might need to show up in person to sign them at a Bangkok notary service office. The cost might go up for a larger bunch of documents.

Many countries have special notaries to examine papers and signatures. In Thailand, specific lawyers can play the role of notaries, ensuring that papers are in line with the law. Some papers can’t be used until a notary checks them. The notary checks signatures and makes sure the right people signed the papers.

Likewise the notary service in Thailand will also need for other things in Thailand, like proving your address for a visa or in some cases a passport. The American Embassy in Bangkok can help with certain notary services for US citizens.

Likewise you will note that the Thai Notary Public is a special person who can make sure papers are real and witnesses signatures. They also make sure translations are accurate, which is super important for dealing with other countries.

While many countries need papers to be notarized, Thailand doesn’t require it. But some lawyers in Thailand can still act as notaries, which is helpful for buying property in another country or moving there. Banks might want notarized papers, and some documents need to be notarized to be official.

Notaries are like neutral witnesses, saying the person who signed the paper is the right person.

Most public notary services in Thailand tend to be about banking back home. This when changing your details or your telephone number. The example we use here is the British and South African versions and how this is done from Thailand. Note that this is under the Roman Dutch legal system.

Rule 63 in The High Court Rules about making sure documents are real. It came out in March/April 2016. This note explains Rule 63 and how it works with notary publics.

Purpose of Rule 63

When you sign a document outside South Africa to use it inside South Africa, you need to prove it’s real.

“Authenticate” means making sure all the signatures on the document are legitimate.

If there’s a fight between people that leads to going to court, and the document was properly authenticated (following South African rules), the bank can use the document in court without extra checks on the signatures.

Where / By Whom

• Here’s where and by whom you can get your documents properly authenticated:
• South African Embassy or Consulate
• Consul of the United Kingdom
• Local government authorities who are in charge of making sure documents are authentic
• Notary Public – but only in countries that are part of the Hague Convention.
• The person signing the document must do it in front of the notary.
• The notary has to add a Certificate of Authentication at the end of each page.
• The Certificate of Authentication must clearly mention the signed document and signatures.
• All signatures must have a date.

After signing, you need something called an Apostille to confirm the notary’s authority. Note again that the Apostille is not recognised in Thailand.

The Apostille, the notary’s Certificate of Authentication, and the signed document must all be kept together by the notary in one document. Don’t take the documents apart. If the person signing is in a country that is not a Hague Convention country.

Note that as an example, your document is stamped as verified with the signature. This paper is in the middle of the front page with the seal of the Public Notary and their contact details. Likewise on the rear page is the certificate of the notary. These are bound together with ribbon through a metal eye holding all three pages together. The notary then has to add her seal over the ribbon on the front. You can see below a picture of this.

According to Rule 63 of South Africa’s Court Rules, when a document signed outside South Africa is used inside South Africa, it has to be proven real by checking all the signatures. So in short.

• Authenticated in that the signatures of all the signatories are verified
• Properly authenticate documents includes a notary public
• Must sign the document/s in question in the presence of the notary
• Notary must identify the document by name on the front page that has been authenticated
• The notary must include a Certificate of Authentication at the end of each page of the document that is signed. (The authenticated document is in the middle as explained above)
• All signatures must be dated
• Certificate of Authentication should all be bound by the notary in one document to maintain the integrity of the authentication
• The signatory must be instructed not to unbind the documents
• The certificate issued by a designated government official of the country in question that confirms the authority of the notary. (See notary certificate seal on the front and licence on the rear page)

This is a case example of an authenticated document for South Africa and its banking system. Your mileage might differ depending on what is accepted in your country. Since this is Roman Dutch law, the UK might be similar in nature. Ask what is needed and what is acceptable in your European country first. Remember that you must not take the documents apart or you will invalidate the verification. This will create more issues later.
