Reason being that a friend of inine needs in order to sell his house in the USA, a notary here in Thailand that can enable him to go through with that sale of the property....

 

He have Bangkok and the US embassy of course or MFA there, but having a pregnant wife, he should surely love to have a notary much closer than that..... 

 

So if you guys happens to know a notary, a falang-notary it MUST be, NOT a thai, which NOT is accepted in our western countries.....  Plse write here.. It would be highly appreciated...

I find that an unusual statement.

I've had documents 'notarised' in Thailand that were perfectly acceptable in the UK.

Thai Notaries are attorneys having a special license from the Thailand Council of Lawyers. They act as public notary in Thailand.

Sorry missed to inform you, my friend and I, live in Chaiyaphum city.. in the province of Chaiyaphum.

I would advise using US Consulate as that is an official notary service for US use.

If you read the link linked from your own post you will find they say Thai notary could be overturned if challenged in a foreign court.  This is especially true for USA.

thank you for posting, if there aint no notary up here in Chaiyaphum or round here, than I think as well that the US embassy must be the very best option.

I think finding one that has a notary stamp for a state in the US is slim to none.

If he makes an appointment at the embassy it is possible he could fly to Bangkok and back on the same day.

Getting any notary stamp other than the embassy may not be accepted.

I'd agree with your advice, but use the US Embassy

Thailand doesn't have 'Notaries' as such, just lawyers authorised to 'notarise' documents as such.

Their legal status could be questioned in certain Countries.

 

I enquired in the UK first, and it was acceptable for my situation.

It is actually a Consular Officer that you use - either in Bangkok or Chiang Mai.  The Consulate section of the Embassy takes care of such matters - and in the case of Bangkok is across the street from the new US Embassy and the section used is called American Citizen Services (ACS).

Depending upon the particular US state he might try this route:

Interesting  but knowing Virginia love to tax anyone making any contact in that state would be very wary.

All I know of this service is that it cannot be used for probate related issues. Whether the Court will accept in his state, maybe the company can advise whether they have had similar real estate notarized documents accepted in that state.

The only transaction in Virginia is the notary itself unless the house-for-sale is in Virginia. As it might save the guy a trip to BKK under his circumstances, I would suggest it worth his while to at least talk to these people.

I have sold several different houses in different states in the USA and the sale process is always very demanding in the legal procedures. USA notary is the only sure thing, thus the US consulate your best bet. Take a look at their outreach program with upcountry visits being a good alternative to the Bangkok trip. Check the US Embassy site for that schedule. Note the payment upcountry is by bank draft only, US$50 equivalent; all this is printed out on the embassy website.

The service I referenced IS a US notary even though a trip to the Bangkok Consulate would always be preferable. If you had a house to sell in Florida but lived in Virginia, it would be no problem to have a document for the Florida transaction notarized in Virginia.

BTW next Consular outreach to Khon Kaen is November 8, 2017.
