TroyinEwa/Perv Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Why not try a bank here? Law office? Post office? Any of the document translation places may have one. Ask a good hotel's consignior(sp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somchai888 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 1. Were you the guy I saw a few weeks ago at the US Embassy having a fit, er, "discussion" about the $30 notarization fee? 2. Does the US Embassy notary have a notary stamp from a US state? I don't think a US bank would want a Thai notary stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 1. No, I already know the fee at the US Embassy and will not waste time complaining at the Embassy. 2. I will go to Citibank Mon or Tue and see what they can do. After that, try Sunbelt, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allistar Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I had to have one document notarized at the Embassy and it's not in Thai and it's not a state stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 The Notaries are a state regulated industry with the federal government having the consulates issue an equivalent. I believe there are people here who have notary stamps from US states and are willing to notarize documents for far less then the consulate (by the way, the $30 is way cheaper then the $50 it used to be). The problem with these state stamps done overseas is they are technically invalid. The notary is only licensed to stamp documents while in that state.

cavanami Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I went to Citibank and they understood what I needed, stamp-stamp, check my IDs, good to go...I hope. Once I snail mail the paperwork to Citibank USA, I will see if the US side accepts what the Thai Citibank did here. $30 is still a farkin' rip off!!!

rickfarang Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 So...how much did Citibank charge you for? And how many documents did you have notarized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 No charge and it was not "notarized", they put a bank stamp on it and the person signed it. The stamp indicates that I did in fact sign the document and it was witnessed by the Citibank employee. No notary stamp, just the verbiage indicating the the signing was witnessed by the Citibank employee. This my work for me as what I had witnessed was me signing a Citibank (US) document. Once I mail it on to Citibank US, I will find out if this is OK or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
