Thailand has acceded to the Apostille Convention with entry into force on February 28, 2027. Until then documents need consular legalisation; afterwards an apostille from the issuing country will be sufficient unless an objection is raised.
Until the Convention enters into force for Thailand, foreign documents – affirmations of freedom to marry and birth certificates for marriage registration at a district office, powers of attorney, corporate documents for company formation, diplomas for work permits – must be certified in the issuing country and legalised by the Royal Thai Embassy or consulate there. Thai documents for use abroad are authenticated by the Legalization Division of the Department of Consular Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then legalised by the destination country’s mission.
Thai authorities require documents in Thai or with a Thai translation; for marriage registration the translation is commonly certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Whether any state will raise an objection to Thailand’s accession is not yet known, and practical details of the apostille procedure in Thailand are still to be confirmed.
Notaryzer handles it end to end: the notary reviews your application, we organise the apostille or legalisation in the issuing country, arrange the translation and ship the result to you or directly to the recipient in Thailand.
- Documents used before 28 February 2027 still need legalisation by the Thai mission
- Marriage in Thailand: plan for a Thai translation certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Ask the Thai recipient whether it will already accept an apostille issued close to the entry-into-force date
