chado Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I need to verify my passport with a public notary. What would you recommend me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 It may depend on what organization needs that copy but suspect you may need to visit your Embassy for such service if for use outside country as Thailand is still not part of the official Notary system AFAIK.

bkk6060 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Search online there are attorneys in Pattaya that are notaries. Mine was not cheap 1500 b. Has an office just outside the Chonburi Imm. office. Of course the embassy is about the same per signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 As said before there are none in Thailand, although there have been some bringing their overseas stamps and placing on documents here (which is likely not legal). A notary public is someone given authority by a government that signed the Hague Convention on Legalization of Foreign Public Documents. Thailand has not signed that document so those that are authorized to provide notary service here may not be recognized elsewhere. Believe you should talk with your Embassy for certification of passport copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxout Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Don't confuse notaries and the apostille system. Notary publics exist in most countries, but not Thailand, and administer oaths. For example, a notary might administer an oath in which you swear that attached is a true copy of your passport. The apostille is a quick substitute for the otherwise lengthy legalisation process. The legalisation/apostille process comes into play when you need to prove that the notary, government official or whoever signed some document was in fact authorised to do so. If, for example, you present a document executed in Singapore by a Singapore notary in Thailand, the Thai official will probably want it legalised to prove that the "Singapore notary" was in fact a Singapore notary.

Although originally they wanted posted originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
