Quick answer
For documents going to the USA from Thailand, you need NSA notarization, MFA legalization in Bangkok, and—depending on the receiving state—U.S. Embassy authentication. The U.S. is NOT a Hague Apostille member, so the full chain is required.

FAQ — USA corridor
- Does the USA accept Apostille from Thailand?
- No. The United States is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention path used by Thailand for inbound documents from non-treaty origin. From Thailand to the USA, you use MFA legalization, not Apostille.
- Do I need to translate my Thai marriage certificate for a U.S. green card?
- Yes. USCIS requires a certified English translation. We provide a translator's certification of accuracy and competence, plus MFA legalization on the Thai original.
- How long does MFA legalization for U.S. documents take?
- Standard service is 3 working days at MFA Chaengwattana. Same-day express is available for an extra fee.
- Can you notarize an I-864 Affidavit of Support in Thailand?
- Yes. A Thai NSA cannot replace U.S. notarization, but we can witness signature on supporting evidence and prepare the package for U.S. Embassy notarization.
