REQUIREMENTS

Proof of Identity

Before an attorney can notarize your document, they must confirm who you are. These are the forms of identification we accept.

Accepted identification

Please bring the original of a current, unexpired government-issued photo ID that shows your full name exactly as it appears on the document:

  • Foreign nationals: valid passport
  • Thai nationals: Thai ID card
  • Thai nationals: valid Thai passport
  • Clear photo that still looks like you
  • Your signature on the ID
  • Good condition and easy to read

Not accepted as primary ID

  • Expired passports or ID cards
  • Photocopies, scans or photos on a phone
  • Credit, debit or bank cards
  • Birth certificates on their own
  • Driving licences or work permits on their own (supporting ID only)
  • ID belonging to someone else

Names that don’t match

If the name on your document differs from your ID, for example after marriage or a legal name change, bring the certificate that links the two names. If you are not sure whether your ID will be accepted, send us a photo of it before your appointment.
