Thai documents for clients in Toronto (Canada)
Clients in Toronto do not need to travel to Thailand. Send scans first so our lawyers can confirm the exact certification route the receiving body requires, then we prepare the translation, attest the documents through a licensed Thai Notary Public, obtain Department of Consular Affairs certification and an Apostille under the Hague Convention, and courier the result back — typically about 5 working days each way. Local time zone: EST/EDT. No prices are published; request a case-specific quote by phone, LINE or email.

Frequently asked questions from clients in Toronto
How does the service work from Toronto when your office is in Bangkok?
Everything runs remotely. Send scans by LINE or email, our lawyers check which certification route the authority in Toronto accepts, then you courier the originals or appoint a representative in Thailand by power of attorney. Completed documents are couriered back — usually around 5 working days each way.
How do I make a document issued in Canada valid in Thailand?
A document issued in Canada must first be certified in its country of origin (normally an Apostille). It is then translated into Thai and the translation is certified by the Department of Consular Affairs before it is filed with a Thai authority. Send us scans and we check the order for you first.
What steps do Thai documents need before they can be used in Toronto?
Canada is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so Thai documents are normally translated, certified by the Department of Consular Affairs and then issued with an Apostille. Some receiving bodies still ask for embassy legalisation, so confirm with them first.
I cannot fly back to Thailand — can I appoint someone by power of attorney?
Yes for most matters, including civil registration extracts, police clearance certificates and translation certification. Sign the power of attorney before an officer at สถานกงสุลใหญ่ ณ นครแวนคูเวอร์ / สถานเอกอัครราชทูต ณ กรุงออตตาวา or a local notary, then courier the original to Thailand. We send you the exact wording and form the receiving authority accepts before you sign.
With a 12-hour time difference, when should I contact you?
Toronto runs on EST/EDT, about 12 hours from Bangkok. LINE and email messages are received at any hour and answered during Thai business hours, Monday to Saturday. Phone calls can be scheduled in advance.
How long does the whole process take from Toronto?
Three parts: preparation and attestation in Thailand, processing time at the government office, and international courier time (about 5 working days each way for Toronto). Once we see your scans we give you the full expected timeline before starting.
How are fees calculated for clients in Toronto?
This website does not publish prices because the fee depends on document type, page count, target language, the certification route required in Canada and the return delivery method. Send scans by LINE, phone or email for a free case-specific quote.
Which matters are most common for clients in Toronto?
