    Certified Documents in Thailand

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to get documents certified in Thailand. In Aust, it's done at any Police Station. Immigration here say that certifying docs has different requirements in different countries. I have heard varying opinions about Thailand ranging from signing and dating them yourself to having a lawyer sign them off? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    Are you talking about certifying (I don't know exactly what that means) or notarizing? If it is notarizing, most banks will offer that service, possibly for a small fee if you do not have an account with them.

    I have had the same problem myself.
    I found the banks totally incapable of understanding international banking requirements.
    Three banks failed to grasp what was required, one sent the forms to Bangkok and when it came back it was all wrong.
    In the end I used my insurance agent to certify the documents and this was accepted.

    Americans require notorization on documents. I assume certification is the same for Australians. Our embassy provides this service for a fee, check your embassy's consular services.

    The American Embassy will notarize documents for a fee (expensive too - like $65), but will NOT notarize foreign documents, only American ones. Would guess it is the same for the Aussies.

    For a UK visa application you can certify it yourself. You write your name, sign it and date it. Also write something like 'I 'name' confirm that this copy is a genuine copy of the original document passport number *******'.

    I know this to be fact because I called the UKBA and asked them this very question just the other week.

    Best to call the agency that you are making the application to and ask them.

    I had to verify my identity for the bank in the UK that transfers my company pension to my Thai bank.

    I used a lawyer, and was charged 3000 baht.

    ^Embassy would have done it for about B1,800 still a rip-off.
