Online notary for U.S. citizens in Thailand
Thailand is far ahead of New Jersey, so we schedule around both clocks. A New Jersey notary can meet you by secure video from Thailand, for a document with a U.S. court, agency, property or transaction connection. Sessions start at $50 plus the state notarial fee.

Signing from outside the U.S.? We can notarize when the document is for a U.S. court or agency, involves U.S. property, or relates to a transaction connected with the U.S., and signing isn't prohibited where you are. Check your document.

Documents for use in Thailand
Apostille or remote notary?
The Hague Conference's status table shows Thailand depositing its accession on 30 June 2026, with the Apostille Convention entering into force there on 28 February 2027. Until that date, documents for use in Thailand follow the older legalization route. Check with the receiving office, since it decides what it accepts.
If you are signing from Thailand, a video notarization with us still needs a U.S. connection, such as U.S. property or a U.S. court or agency matter. See apostille services for documents going the other way.
Embassy option
The U.S. embassy in Bangkok
Bangkok is the seat of the U.S. Embassy. The same list of missions adds consulates in Chiang Mai.
The steps for a video session are the same from every country and are set out on the hub page. See also the State Department's notarial services page for what consular posts offer.
This is general information, not legal advice, and we do not know Thailand's local law, so ask the office that will receive your document what it accepts.
