Notarisation of Degree Certificates and Transcripts — Thailand (2026)

Used for overseas study applications and student visas, foreign employers, credential evaluations such as WES, and overseas work permit applications.

Original degree certificate and transcript issued by the institution · An English translation where the institution does not issue an English version · The holder's passport

True-copy certification of academic records and certification of the translator's signature

The receiving institution wants a sealed transcript sent directly by the university, which a certified copy cannot replace · Course titles or grading scales translated inconsistently with the institution's system · Thai-language certificates translated without every seal and stamp

Academic documents from state institutions can be legalised at the MFA; many countries require this step before embassy attestation.

One working day for notarisation; 2–3 working days including certified translation. Fees are based on the number of documents and stamps, and you get a written quote before any work starts.

No. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so Thai documents intended for use abroad follow the legalisation route: certification by a notarial services attorney, then legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then attestation at the destination country's embassy or consulate in Thailand. Check the current status with the HCCH and the Department of Consular Affairs before you act.

Thailand has no notary public office in the common-law sense. Instead, lawyers registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand under its 2008 regulation act as Notarial Services Attorneys, and their certifications are the form accepted by foreign authorities.

Yes for signature certification — you sign in the attorney's presence with an original passport or Thai ID. For a certified true copy, the original document must be produced.
