UK Notary Public

Featured Replies

Good morning all, 

 

Does anybody know if and where I can find a UK notary public in BKK? 

 

Thanks. 

Various Thai lawyers are certified as notaries and you'd just have to check and see which ones, I don't think however you'll find a UK certified notary public other than perhaps at the embassy - from experience, Thai certified notaries work is accepted by most governments/banks etc.

The British Embassy has a notary service.

However, check that they fill in and sign any paperwork correctly before leaving the embassy.

They made a mistake with my documents and the court in England would not accept them.

Took the documents back to the embassy to point out their mistake and ask for a correction and they charged me again the same fee. I protested but was told , take it or leave it.

The cost of a UK notary is considerably higher than a UK solicitor, but the professions are often referred to interchangeably here when asking for certification of documents. The apostille process alone would suggest it's unlikely you'll find one in Thailand. 

This is a terminology issue.

 

A lawyer is licensed to practice in a particular country, a UK lawyer is licensed to practise in the UK. A UK lawyer is not allowed to practise in Thailand unless licensed here and very very few are, I'm guessing less than a dozen maybe. Ditto a notary, notaries are licenced and do not need to be lawyers but they must be licensed in the country where they practise. So the OP is looking for a UK notary public which implies a UK notary licensed to practise in Thailand. Solution: find a Thai notary.
