Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Thai document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit a Thai birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized. Legalzing a document in Thailand certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Thailand and confirms the capacity of that official. Thai document legalization is a two-step process: - First the document will need to be legalized by Thai authorities. - Then the document will need to be legalized by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Thailand or non-resident embassy accredited to Thailand). - Note that Thailand is not issue Apostille Stamps, so Thai documents cannot be legalized by Apostille.
