Details
Signature Verification by a Notarial Services Attorney differs from an ordinary witness: the notary inspects the signer's identification (passport/ID) against the original, watches the signature being made, and issues a Notarial Certificate reading 'This is to certify that [Name], holder of [Passport], appeared before me and signed this document in my presence'. Common uses: international contracts, overseas superannuation/pension forms, university deferment/withdrawal forms, bank KYC and wire-transfer forms, foreign life-insurance forms, and IRS/HMRC/ATO identity forms.

Frequently asked
- How does it differ from an ordinary witness?
- A witness merely writes 'witness' next to a signature. A notary inspects the ID against the original and issues a certificate stating the passport number, sealed by the Lawyers Council.
- What do I need to bring?
- Original passport (mandatory) and the document to be signed (printed, or send us the file to print).
- Can I sign in advance?
- No — the notary must witness the actual signing ('signature affixed in my presence').
- Can you notarise a digital signature?
- We attest wet-ink documents only. For e-signatures a Remote Online Notarisation (RON) system would be required, which Thailand does not yet recognise.
- Is further apostille needed?
- AU/NZ/US usually no; UK/Germany/Spain often require MFA + embassy legalisation — we can advise.
- Can you notarise a foreign national's signature?
- Yes — bring the foreign passport. Same fee.

Documents usually required
- Original document plus one clear copy of every page
- Copy of the passport or Thai national ID card of the signatory
- Written statement of the purpose and the receiving authority
- Supporting records the receiving authority lists in its own checklist
Common reasons a bundle is rejected
- A Thai notarial services attorney is not identical to a foreign Notary Public; confirm what the destination accepts.
- The signatory must sign in front of the attorney, not beforehand.
- Spell every name exactly as it appears in the passport, across every document in the same bundle.

How the process runs — Notarial services attorney certification
- State the purpose and the receiving authority so the correct level of certification is chosen.
- Send scans of every page so completeness can be checked before work starts.
- Prepare the translation or the instrument in the format the receiving authority requires.
- Sign or certify before the officer authorised by law to witness that document type.
- Collect the finished set and keep a copy for the next filing.
Fees and processing times are set by each authority and vary by document and destination — confirm them with the responsible agency.
Handling it yourself vs letting iLC run it
| Aspect | Doing it yourself | With iLC |
|---|---|---|
| Working out which steps apply | You read each authority's rules yourself, and usually learn a step was missing only after the bundle is refused. | Our advisers review the documents before work starts and sequence translation, notarisation, MFA, and embassy in one pass. |
| Time spent filing | Repeat trips to each office, queueing and collecting in person. | We file on your behalf; you send scans and receive the finished set by post or courier. |
| Risk that the translation is refused | Agency names, job titles, and the certification wording often do not match what the receiving office accepts. | We use terminology and certificate formats the receiving authority has accepted before, with two-stage proof-reading. |
| If the bundle is rejected | You diagnose the cause and refile yourself, losing a full cycle. | We identify the cause, correct it, and refile without you starting over, with progress reported along the way. |

An advisor, not only a document processor
Before any work starts, our team assesses how many certification layers your document actually needs, which authorities are involved, and the correct order for the office you will really file with. One step out of order usually means restarting the whole bundle. More than 15 years of cross-border document work means we recognise how each authority rejects files and prevent it up front.
- The certification route is matched to the receiving authority before work begins.
- Rejection risks are checked, from name spelling to document validity windows.
- The filing sequence is planned around the deadline you actually have.
