Services frequently used together when shipping to New Zealand:

Official references:

1. Name spelling differs from the passport — check every character, including middle names.

2. Translation not checked — some New Zealand authorities require a English translation.

3. Incomplete notarial details — the certificate should show the attorney's name, registration number, signature and seal.

4. Missing legalisation step — notarisation alone may not be enough; confirm the receiving authority's requirements.

5. Wrong procedure for the date — steps for Apostille countries may differ before and after 28 February 2027.

6. Document too old — some authorities set a validity window; confirm with the receiving authority.

Short answer: a Deed of Assignment certified by a Thai Notarial Services Attorney must complete the legalisation steps required by the receiving authority in New Zealand.

New Zealand is a party to the Apostille Convention, but the Convention enters into force for Thailand only on 28 February 2027 (HCCH). Until then, Thai documents still need Department of Consular Affairs and embassy legalisation; after that date, check the current Apostille procedure with the Department of Consular Affairs.

Timing: depends on Department of Consular Affairs and embassy queues — our staff confirm the schedule after reviewing your documents.
