Notary Services in Phetchaburi — Document Certification by Notarial Services Attorney
In Thailand, notarial work is performed by a Notarial Services Attorney registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand — unlike many countries where Notary Public is a distinct office, here a licensed attorney holds this authority. Common services include certifying powers of attorney (POA), documents for overseas study applications, status certificates, certified translations, and affidavits for embassy submissions. Notarised documents often need onward legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs (MFA) or the destination embassy, depending on how they will be used.

About our team in Phetchaburi
Phetchaburi contains Cha-am, a resort town and holiday-home market with a substantial foreign buyer base, alongside farming and coastal fishing. The recurring issues are foreign property holding — including structures that have become customary but carry real risk — sale and long-lease agreements, condominium juristic-person disputes, and family cases involving a foreign spouse.
A holding structure being common does not make it safe; several have points at which they are voidable or unenforceable once tested in court. We review the structure and the documents so the real exposure is visible before a decision is made. The team works in Thai, English, and Chinese, runs the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travels to appear at the Phetchaburi Provincial Court.
