Quick answer: Power of Attorney (POA) executed in Thailand

"iVC drafts POAs bilingual with mirrored article numbering, notarizes in-house, applies DIFA e-apostille, and coordinates a locally-sworn translator + notary in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, or Japan when required. From ฿3,900 in 3–10 business days."

01Is a Thai notary the same as elsewhere?
No — Thailand does not have civil-law notaries. Notarial acts are performed by a Notary Public Attorney (a lawyer specially licensed by the Lawyers' Council). iVC's in-house notaries sign same-day.
02Is e-apostille accepted for POAs abroad?
Yes, in the 126 Hague states since 12 May 2025 — 3–5 days faster than the traditional MFA + embassy chain.
03Why draft mirrored article-by-article?
Because German or French notaries typically verify that Article 5(a) in Thai matches Article 5(a) in the foreign language. Mirrored drafting passes on the first review.
04What if the POA is to sell property in Germany?
The Grundbuchamt (land registry) usually requires an additional sworn translator + local German notarial confirmation. iVC coordinates both before your closing date.

Legalization chain

  1. Step 1
    iVC drafting — bilingual with mirrored articles

    The POA is drafted in Thai + destination language with mirrored numbered articles so a foreign notary/court can compare line by line.

    Duration: 1 dayOfficial fee: —

    ⚠ Pitfall: Free-form English POAs are often rejected by German/French notaries — they want mirrored numbered clauses.

  2. Step 2
    Notary Public Attorney in Thailand

    In Thailand, notarial function is performed by a licensed Notary Public Attorney (not a public notary). iVC's in-house notaries execute same-day.

    Duration: same dayOfficial fee: ฿800

    ⚠ Pitfall: Foreign counterparties often think Thailand has civil-law notaries — clarify upfront to save a rejection round.

  3. Step 3
    MFA/DIFA — apostille (Hague) or MFA (non-Hague)

    Authenticates the notarial signature. e-Apostille is accepted for POA since 12 May 2025.

    Duration: 1–2 business daysOfficial fee: ฿400

    ⚠ Pitfall: Time-sensitive POAs (property closing) should use e-apostille to save 3–5 days.

  4. Step 4
    Destination — Sworn translator + Notary (if civil-law state)

    Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan often require a locally-sworn translator + local notary to certify the apostilled document for use in a specific act (Grundbuch, cadastre, court).

    Duration: 3–7 business days (via iVC network)Official fee: ฿3,500

    ⚠ Pitfall: Not required for common-law states (US, UK, Canada, Australia) where apostille alone is enough.
