Service Tiers

Three Structured Approaches to Cross-Border Authentication

Each service tier is defined by the scope and complexity of the documentation involved. The path is mapped before any processing begins.

Our Methodology

How Each Engagement Is Structured

01

Document Assessment

We identify document type, issuing authority, and intended use in the destination country.

02

Path Mapping

We map the authentication chain: pre-authentication steps, Ministry of Foreign Affairs apostille, and any consular steps.

03

Processing

We attend the relevant Thai authorities in person, submit documents, and track each step to completion.

04

Written Delivery

We return the authenticated document together with a written record of each step taken and its outcome.

Service 01

Path Advisory for a Single Document

A short written advisory that maps the path a single document is likely to follow when intended for use in another country, taking into account that country's relationship with the Apostille Convention and Thailand's current arrangements. The deliverable is a plain-language note explaining the steps and the typical timeline.

Suited to individuals planning cross-border use of a single paper — a birth certificate, an educational degree, a power of attorney, or a commercial document — and who want a clear picture of what the process involves before committing to it.

What Is Included

  • Review of document type and issuing authority
  • Destination country apostille/legalization status check
  • Written note with step-by-step authentication path
  • Realistic timeline estimate based on current conditions
  • Note on any documents required in advance (e.g. translations)

  • Business with a set of commercial documents for a single transaction
  • Individual applying for overseas residence with a document bundle
Service 02

Coordinated Authentication for Multiple Documents

A staged engagement that authenticates a coordinated set of documents intended for use in one or more overseas jurisdictions, using the Thai legalization path together with apostille certification where the destination country accepts that route.

The work includes pre-checks, processing, and a written index describing each document's final form. Suited to families and businesses with several papers to handle together, where the coordination of multiple authentication chains benefits from a single managing party.

What Is Included

  • Pre-checks on each document before submission
  • Staged processing coordinated across multiple documents
  • Multi-jurisdiction path mapping where documents go to different countries
  • Written index of each document's final certified form
  • Progress updates during processing
Service 03

Cross-Border Programme for Long Document Trails

A multi-month engagement that addresses substantial document trails — typically for overseas court proceedings, large transactional matters, or multi-jurisdiction estate settlements. The work includes preparation of master and dependent documents, coordination with overseas counsel, and quarterly written reports throughout the programme.

Suited to readers with significant cross-border documentation needs where the trail extends over months and involves multiple jurisdictions and document types in a coordinated sequence.

What Is Included

  • Full document trail assessment and programme structure
  • Preparation and coordination of master and dependent documents
  • Direct coordination with overseas counsel on Thai-side requirements
  • Quarterly written progress reports throughout the programme
  • Complete written record of all authenticated documents at programme close

Shared Standards

Protocols That Apply to Every Service Tier

Pre-Submission Assessment

Every document is reviewed before any submission is made. Incorrect form types and missing prior authentications are identified before they become delays.

Document Handling Protocols

Original documents are handled with care and tracked throughout the process. We do not hold originals longer than necessary for the submission stage.

Written Outcome Record

Each engagement closes with a written record. Clients receive documentation of what was done, not just the authenticated document itself.

English Throughout

All correspondence and deliverables are in English. The Thai-language aspects of submission are handled internally.

Current Procedure Checks

Processing requirements are checked against current conditions at the time of each engagement — not drawn from outdated reference material.

Scope Defined in Advance

If a situation falls outside the selected service tier, this is discussed and agreed before additional work proceeds.
