Apostille & Legalization for Thailand
How to authenticate a U.S. document for use in Thailand: whether it needs an apostille or embassy legalization, translation requirements, and how we handle the whole process.
Thailand is not a Hague Convention member, so an apostille alone is not accepted. The document must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State and then legalized at the Thailand embassy or consulate.
If you are sending a U.S. document to Thailand — for marriage, retirement visas, work permits, or another purpose — it must be authenticated before Thailand authorities will accept it. This page explains exactly what Thailand requires and how we handle it end to end.
