Thailand Attestation Service
If you want to use a UK document in Thailand, it has to be officially accepted first. This means your personal documents or business documents need to be legalised properly. Thailand embassy attestation is the process that does this. It includes solicitor certification, an apostille service from the FCDO, and embassy stamps. Whether it’s birth certificates, power of attorney, or contracts, this legalisation service helps make sure your papers will be accepted in Thailand.
Legal Contracts: Including power of attorney, business agreements, and court documents.
Academic Records: Diplomas, transcripts, and certificates from educational institutions.
Personal Certificates: Birth certificates, marriage certificates, and police clearance certificates.
Our streamlined process guarantees your documents are recognised for employment, education, personal and commercial affairs abroad.
Step-by-Step Process for Attesting Thailand Documents
The process is simple but must be done in order. First, prepare your documents carefully. Then, get them certified by a solicitor or notary public. Next, the FCDO applies the apostille service. Lastly, the Thailand embassy in London adds its official stamps. Each step must be done properly for the document to be accepted.
Step 1
Document Preparation
Start by collecting the right original personal documents or business documents. They must be complete and correct. If your documents are not in English, certified translations might be needed. Preparing your documents well helps avoid delays. Remember, your document must be ready before moving to the next step.
Step 2
Solicitor or Notary Certification
Next, a solicitor or notary public checks and certifies your documents. This confirms the documents are genuine. This step is needed before the FCDO apostille service. Without it, the government won’t stamp your documents.
Step 3
FCDO Apostille
The FCDO apostille is an official stamp from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. It shows your documents and signatures are real. The apostille is needed before the Thailand embassy can add its stamps. Without it, the embassy won’t accept your documents.
Step 4
Thailand Embassy Attestation
The final step is to get your documents attested by the Thailand embassy in London. The embassy staff check the FCDO apostille and then add their stamps. This makes your UK foreign documents legal for use in Thailand. You need this to do things like apply for visas or open bank accounts there.

- Every document must first be certified either by an SRA-registered solicitor or by a UK notary public (we advise which is required; solicitor certification is included unless a notary is specifically needed).
- The certified document must then obtain an FCDO apostille. Without this apostille, no embassy will legalise the document.
- Once apostilled, the document is submitted to the chosen embassy for final stamping.
A notary stamp alone is never sufficient; an apostille is always required before any embassy will act.

What Is Thailand Embassy Attestation?
Thailand embassy attestation means proving your UK foreign documents are real and allowed for use in Thailand. Your documents first get checked by a solicitor or notary public. Then the FCDO adds an apostille stamp. After that, the Royal Thai Embassy in London puts on its official stamps. This shows your documents meet Thailand’s rules.
