Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Notary Public in Thailand, and when do I need one?
In Thailand, notarization is performed by a lawyer licensed as a Notarial Services Attorney. You typically need it to certify signatures, copies, and documents for use abroad — for example affidavits, powers of attorney, or paperwork for foreign embassies, universities, or banks. MJ & Co provides Notary Public certification in Chiang Mai.
Can you help foreigners with marriage registration in Thailand?
Yes. We assist with the full process — affirmation of freedom to marry at your embassy, translation and legalization of documents, and registration at the local district office (amphur). We prepare and certify all paperwork so the registration goes through smoothly.
Can MJ & Co handle property and vehicle ownership transfers?
Yes. We prepare and process ownership transfers for property (at the Land Office) and vehicles (at the Department of Land Transport), including the supporting contracts, powers of attorney, and translations. We can act on your behalf so you don't need to navigate Thai government offices yourself.
Do you provide certified bilingual (Thai/English) translations?
Yes. We provide accurate Thai/English translation of contracts, certificates, and official documents, and can certify them for use with Thai authorities or foreign institutions. Bilingual documents help ensure both parties understand exactly what they are signing.
