How the work proceeds
1. Draft review: send the draft so our staff can confirm the format required in Germany.
2. Signing before the notarial attorney: bring your original ID or passport.
3. Department of Consular Affairs legalisation: according to its current procedure and queue.
4. Germany Embassy legalisation (if required): according to the embassy's conditions.
5. Collection or courier: our staff confirm each step once actual appointments are known.
Quick answer â Signature Verification / Acknowledgment for use in Germany
Short answer: a Signature Verification / Acknowledgment certified by a Thai Notarial Services Attorney must complete the legalisation steps required by the receiving authority in Germany.
Germany 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 â our staff confirm the schedule after reviewing your documents.
Service fee: request a quotation from our staff. Government and embassy fees are paid at the rates those offices publish.

Common problems before filing in Germany
1. Name spelling differs from the passport â check every character, including middle names.
2. Translation not checked â some Germany authorities require a German translation.
3. Incomplete notarial details â the certificate should show the attorney's name, registration number, signature and seal.
4. Missing legalisation step â notarisation alone may not be enough; confirm the receiving authority's requirements.
5. Wrong procedure for the date â steps for Apostille countries may differ before and after 28 February 2027.
6. Document too old â some authorities set a validity window; confirm with the receiving authority.
