You may need to Legalize a document to be used abroad in the following cases:

  • Personal documents such as birth or marriage certificates
  • Police Background Report
  • Legal papers, such as POAs, contracts, and agreements
  • Educational records
  • Business documents
  • Policies and official declarations
  • Court documents, including judgments and court orders


As Thailand is not a party to the Apostille Convention (HCCH 1961 Apostille Convention), therefore, there is no apostille in Thailand.

For documents issued by the local Thai government (i.e., Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, Police Clearance Certificate, etc.) or issued in Thailand to be used abroad, such documents will have to go through the complete legalization process first, which are:

  1. Such document will have to be certify by the relevant government authority or issuing authority
  2. Translate from the official Thai version into English (if required)
  3. Legalize such document with the original copy of the document with translations (if any) at the Thai MFA
  4. Authenticate the legalized document with the relevant Embassy of the country which the document will be used or filed in.


If you receive instructions for your document to be apostilled, have a quick chat with our lawyers to understand the process and find out how you can efficiently certify the document in Thailand.
