FAQ
Can a Thai Notarial Services Attorney act as witness for a foreign court matter?
Yes. Under the Lawyers Council of Thailand framework and the 2026 Hague Apostille regime, a Notarial Services Attorney can witness facts, sign a sworn certificate, and attach the MOFA Apostille that is accepted in 125+ Hague member states. For non-Hague jurisdictions (China, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, UAE non-Hague routes) we add embassy legalization. Pricing: 5,500-15,500 THB depending on complexity.
How does Internet evidence capture work for an IP / defamation case?
We attend the live URL with the notary present, capture screenshots + full HTML source + headers + timestamped video walkthrough, hash-stamp the bundle (SHA-256), and the notary issues a sworn certificate: 'I personally accessed [URL] on [date/time UTC+7] and observed [content].' Bundle includes Wayback Machine cross-reference. Up to 50 URLs per package, 4,500-7,500 THB, 1 business day.

Yes. We deliver a structured Site Inspection Report covering: (1) GPS coordinates + cadastral reference, (2) 50-100 photographs with timestamps + EXIF preserved, (3) 4K video walkthrough, (4) structural condition notes, (5) environmental observations, (6) signed notarial certificate. Used by Singapore/HK/UK buyers for Bangkok and provincial real estate. 8,500-20,000 THB + travel costs.
What is sealed container certification and when is it used?
The notary attends the packing, inspects the contents, applies a tamper-evident seal with a unique serial, and certifies in writing. At destination, a foreign notary verifies the seal is intact and certifies opening. Common for: high-value jewelry, art shipments, evidence chain-of-custody, biological samples. 6,500-12,500 THB + courier.
Can you serve formal Notice of Meeting on overseas shareholders?
