Scope of Notarial Acts
Notaries at realeio perform formal, evidence-related tasks such as witnessing signatures, certifying that a copy corresponds to an original, and recording identification used at the time of a transaction. These activities are administrative and focus on verifying the appearance of the document and the identity of the signatory as presented at the appointment.
The office documents each notarial act in a ledger or electronic record and issues a notarial certificate or stamp as required by standard notarial practice. Where relevant, staff provide factual information about steps for further authentication, translation, or submission to other authorities.
Required Documents and Identification
To complete a notarial act, clients are asked to present original documents together with valid photo identification. Requirements vary by the type of notarial act and the destination of the document if it is for use abroad.
- Original document to be notarized or a clear copy for certification
- Valid government-issued photo ID or passport for all signatories
- Supporting documents such as translations, previous certifications, or power of attorney forms when applicable
If copies are to be certified, the notary will compare the copy to the original at the appointment. Additional documentation may be requested depending on the specific requirements of external authorities or receiving institutions.
Appointment Process
Appointments are recommended to ensure a notary is available to verify identity and inspect originals. To book, provide the document type, number of signatories, and preferred date and time. The office will confirm available slots and any preparatory requirements.
Appointments available Monday to Friday; specific hours posted on the contact page.
On arrival, clients present identification and originals. The notary will explain the administrative nature of the act being performed and record the details required by standard practice. Complex matters may require additional time or coordination with a legal professional.
Fees, Payment and Cancellations
Fees are set to reflect the administrative effort and time for verification and certification. A clear fee estimate is provided in advance when the service type is known. Fees may vary by document complexity and the number of signatories.
Accepted payment methods include cash, local bank transfer, and major payment cards where available. Receipts are issued for all transactions. If an appointment is canceled, the office provides information on any applicable cancellation terms.
Typical fee range
Exact pricing is provided for the specific document and service requested. Clients are encouraged to request a written estimate before attending the appointment to ensure clarity on costs.
Document Use Abroad
Documents intended for use outside Thailand may require additional steps such as embassy or consular legalization, certified translations, or other formal authentication. Requirements depend on the receiving country and the document type.
realeio can outline common steps and provide referrals for translation or consular procedures, but clients should verify final requirements with the destination authority or embassy because rules differ and change over time.
Limitations and Liability
The notarial role is to verify identity, witness signatures, and certify document copies. Notarial services do not include legal advice on the content or legal effect of documents. Clients seeking legal interpretation or representation should consult a qualified attorney.
