Are you asking about one in the UK or here. There is certainly none here in Thailand. 

The UK embassy might be able to do it for you. See: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/notarial-and-documentary-services-guide-for-thailand

Justices of the Peace (JP's) in the UK are unpaid magistrates; nearest to them in Thailand would be village headmen, not sure if they have village headwomen so no - go with joe

If you're talking about the legalisation of UK documents, however, you will need to pay particular attention to the following specific PDF links within the overall Embassy guidance:-

It would be to have documents certified notarized here in Thailand.

 

The documents are training and qualification certs. I spoke to a lady at the embassy and she requested that i e-mail her the documents 1st to see if it's something they can do but to be honest it does not sound very promising.

 

I did contact an Australian JP based in Thailand and i'd find it unusual if there's not a British one offering the service, this cannot be the 1st time someone has had this dilema?

 

Thanks.

Many places they are called a notary public. Not a JP.

Some Law offices can notarize documents for use here which  could be done to certify a copy. But it seems you want them certified as a true and correct document.

So any idea if there's a British 'notary public'?
I need to get them certified fir a work permit application fir Papua New Guinea, not for use in Thailand.

I've been put on to a firm in the UK that might be able to help, will contact them tomorrow.

Nothing is easy nowadays...

No such thing here in Thailand as far as I am aware.

 

If the firm in the UK you are planning to contact are unable to assist you, you may be able to track down a notary public in the UK via the Notaries Society's website at http://search.thenotariessociety.org.uk/

Where the documents are to be submitted probably isn't relevant, unless there is some stipulation from the organisation to which you are applying. Many expats in Thailand, myself included,  have to get documents certified/notarised/whatever to prove to pension companies that we're still alive or to submit to bank verification processes. I just use a Thai lawyer up in the local town who is an authorised notary. His endorsement is accepted in the UK.

It's perfectly easy, albeit a tad expensive...
