Notarization equates to affirming the validity of document contents akin to swearing under oath in court. In numerous countries, a Notary Public, appointed by state governments, holds this responsibility. In Thailand, some lawyers are empowered to act as Notarial Services Attorneys, overseen by the Lawyers Council of Thailand. These attorneys undergo specific training and certification.
Their duties include witnessing document signings, verifying signers' identities and willingness, and ensuring awareness of document contents. Subsequently, they affix their signature, seal, and notary commission details. The presence of a notary's seal indicates authentication and proper execution of the transaction.
