Notarised Letter

Need to have gf make a statement that is then notarised or witnessed same as one would do in Australia with a JP.

Anyone know how one goes about this here.

Need this for divorce finalisation and listing her assetts. messy crap but has to be done.

Quite a lot of threads about notaries etc. so do a search.

Basically you would look for a lawyer to witness a signature or a notary to certify a copy, though these are often the same person/office. The lawyer can do both tasks also whereas the notary might not want to do the witnessing. Your consulate will also probably offer this service, though the validity of all these will depend on where they are to be used.

All prices fully negotiable, especially in tourist areas where you might be quoted anything from 250B to 2500B for a certified copy.

Actually your Embassy is likely the only official notary service available in Thailand. Local lawyers may offer fancy stamps but there acceptance will be up to the places/organisations concerned. Would not advise using 'special offers'.

It all depends on where they are to be used. For use in places that follow UK law all the options I gave should be acceptable, as the main requirement is indeed a fancy stamp from any suitable professional with a verifiable office (certification/witnessing by a registered doctor would also be suitable for most purposes). For use in the US, for example, it would be a very different story.

I assume you are Australian?

Therefore I suggest you call the embassy and ask them what is acceptable.

I'm not sure that the Embassy would be able to give a definitive answer. I would be inclined to contact the lawyer or organism that requested the document in the first place. They should know exactly what they want, and it could well vary from one organism to another. (I had to get a signature witnessed here for a property contract for a UK solicitor, and she was very specific about what would and wouldn't do.)
