Stanley Jerd Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) The Australian Consul is not a JP. John Howard an Australian Lawyer can certify documents the same as a JP. Bring 1000 baht His details are in link http://duensingkippe...theoffices.html sanuk i am aware that John Howard is the lawyer. How about taking that beer out of your gob and lob your glasses on your nose. The link that was provided had nothing to do with a lawyer named john howard. And funnily enough it wasnt the ex prime minister of Australia. Again thanks for all the geniuses helping out here. But if noone can provide the name of a JP in phuket i suggest that if you cant provide an answer keep your mouth shut and let everyone think your a fool than open it and remove all doubt If you do find a JP willing to witness your Stat Dec, don't forget, he will be outside of his jurisdiction, with an easy check of the Australian Immigration database showing him out of the country at the time he witnessed your Stat Dec, therefore, making your Stat Dec useless and him probably losing his JP title. Put simply, what you want, can't be done, legally, in Phuket. As i stated previously it can be done inThailand because ive done it before in Bangkok.

Stanley Jerd Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 The poster reminds me of the "the dog that bites the hand that feeds it". All the respondents as far as I can see have acted with goodwill in trying to assist the poster but obviously he will never be satisfied. I suggest that this thread be closed post haste and not waste any more members' time. Sanuk Its a legit question. I will be satisfied if I can find a JP in Phuket.

KhunHeineken Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 But according to this Thai visa classifieds ad can be done in Chiang Mai? hmmm makes sense http://classifieds.t...mai-171407.html I have read the sections of the NSW and QLD JP Handbooks that cover this. The links are below. This guy in Chiang Mai is a Queeslander. http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/89651/JP-handbook.pdf http://www.jp.nsw.gov.au/agdbasev7wr/_assets/jp/m407351l411352/jp_handbook.pdf JP's from Queensland can witness Commonwealth of Australia documents, anywhere in the world, but not State documents. It depends on what document you need witnessed and under what jurisdiction that document falls. You learn something new everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomadJoe Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thai lawyers cannot notorize a document. There is a course and some do notorizations, it is only recognised by the Thai law society. There is no law governing notorization in Thailand, making that a document notorized by a Thai lawyer can be challanged in a foreign court. That's funny because I have had US documents which needed notarizing which I did here in Phuket. I even asked the first if a Thai notary would be acceptable which they replied yes, so I did it and no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Stanley's stat dec is for the registry of Births, Deaths, and Marriages. He wants to make a slight change to the spelling of his last name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Jerd Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 its possible in phuket. i got it done today, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) its possible in phuket. i got it done today, Of course it's possible, but what you "got done" and what is correct and legally binding may be two different things. To my knowledge, there is no such thing as an "Australian Justice of the Peace" on the Federal level. Each State/Territory of Australia appoints their own JP's.

gusG Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 well the Australian JP that signed it said it was fine. Would you like to tell others where you finally him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissChris Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 well the Australian JP that signed it said it was fine. And in what state (or territory) has that 'Australian JP' been appointed? Is this really about a minor change in spelling on a birth certificate? In any case, you will find out if in fact 'it was fine' when the document lands wherever it's supposed to and it's either accepted or rejected. After all, it's only someone signing that you have signed the document in their presence and that they either know you, or you have satisfied them about your identity.

Stanley Jerd Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Not a chance I'm telling anyone how or where I got him, everyone who has posted here seems convinced that there is one in Cherng Talay and also they have no powers in Phuket, or throwing some other legal jargon around. It was a simple question. Posters in this particular forum seem hell bent on arguing about their legal prowess and knowledge. Whats the point everyone knows it all already? The JP thought the above posts were ridiculous also. Edited September 27, 2012 by Stanley Jerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
