Boatman37210 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I need to get signatures notarized on a deed. I have always gotten notary services done at the embassy in Bangkok. I made an appointment, but it is a month away. Thought there might be quicker way. Thai lawyers provide notary services. Would a document notarized by a Thai lawyer be valid in the states? Thanks in advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delight Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Suspect not. For the notary system to work -the lawyer has to be registered. That Thai system is unlikely to work outside Thailand. Embassy is -I think -your only path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timendres Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 For a deed recording, the Thai notarization will definitely not be sufficient. Once, I needed to perform a function with the State of Michigan, and I explained that I could not obtain a valid notarization (embassy was closed at the time). They agreed to accept a Thai "notarization" of my passport for identification. But it was considered an exception for a very unique circumstance, and one that did not involve "recording" anything, such as recording a deed. I was retrieving assets that went to the State after being "abandoned". I suspect that if the assets were considerably more than the $2,000 involved, even then the Thai notarization would not have been accepted.
