dudeyone Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have to get my photocopied Malaysian ID "notarized". I think it's certified by someone or something. Do embassies do this? If not, where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) I have to get my photocopied Malaysian ID "notarized". I think it's certified by someone or something. Do embassies do this? If not, where? If you are a UK national the British embassy, consulate dept. will do this for just over 1000 baht a page. Best check with your own Embassy.

spacefruit Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Notarized? Cant any professional, a lawyer or chartered accountant, certify copies? I have done this many times with my friend (A UK Chartered accountant) Whoever is asking for the notarization will specify who they will accept the notarization from. I didn't know the UK Embassy charged 1000 bht per page. Cant blame them, as it is a pain, but gosh, what a lovely business! Please let us know the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Notarized for who? If it is for Thai immigration they just mean put your signature on the photo copy to certify it is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penangkaki Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have to get my photocopied Malaysian ID "notarized". I think it's certified by someone or something. Do embassies do this? If not, where? If you a foreigner in a country the only place to get any documents (Malaysian ID) issued by your country notarized or certified is at your own country's embassies. I have done it a few times at te Malaysian embassy at Sathorn. No charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IraqRon Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hello Guys, my question has to do with US Govt requirements, specifically to get an IRS taxpayment number for my Thai wife so I could claim her on my tax return. Because she does not have a Thai Passport, I was to send other documents instead. They asked for originals or nortorized copies of the originals of several official documents. Of course, I sent originals of our marriaage license, her national ID card, etc. with which they denied my app. and sent back to me. Said they had to have an english translation, notarized by a special notary that they recognized (under some treaty, don't remember which now). With the passport, would still have needed a notarized copy I believe. Anyway, does the US consulate notarize translations in english of foriegn docs??? How would they know the trans was accurate??? I have had them notraize the income statement but of course that is in english to begin with! Any ideas here?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorecard Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 It will depend on the purpose. For some subjects the notarization must be signed by a translator who is authorized by the Thai Interior Ministry. I know this one from when I adopted my son. Many of the original documents were in English. The initial translations were stamped at signed at my home embassy. The first attempt to submit Thai translations failed and we then learned that these documents had to be signed off by a Thai person authorized to do translation by the Thai Interior Ministry. We were then given a list of such authorized people, only about 10 people on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiwanderer Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 only a notary public can notarise documents other professionals may certify copies as true embassy / consular staff may also do so (many are reluctant to do so) you can have a drunk homeless guy sign your copies or anyone else if you want whats crucial is that you get the right person to do it in such a manner that its acceptable to whoever you will then be supplying the documents to??????

IraqRon Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I guess that there are no Americans reading this that have had to go thru this process??? The IRS is very strict in who they will accept as having notarized the translations is why I ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
