Certifying is a passport means, I think, that the passport belongs to you. They won't certify that US state department has issued that passport, or the picture and name and other information in the passport are correct and yours and your only. To do so, they need to do a forensic investigation. You will most probably take an oath that the passport belongs to you and all the information in that are correct and it's yours only, e.g. name, date of birth, place of birth, etc. Edited April 18, 2019 by onera1961 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, banks, or government offices in Thailand want to have certified documents. The certification of a passport is done at your Embassy/Consulate and is needed at some government offices to issue certain documents. This may also require a translation of the certification from English into Thai which is also done by your embassy, or a translation service. The embassy then puts a stamp on it with the day/month/year and puts a "True Copy" stamp on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does a photocopy of an original passport notarized by a Thai notary public generally serve the same purposes as certified copy?

No, that would simply be a notarized copy. If you need a certified copy you need to go to your Embassy to get one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
