TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the process of document authentication required for the Thai O-A visa application for UK citizens. Several comments share experiences, indicating that while some individuals have used solicitors for authentication of documentation, others inquired about the UK's Post Office authentication service alternatives. It's highlighted that notarized copies can be accepted if originals are also submitted.

I had all my copies signed by a solicitor in Holborn and took everything to the Thai Embassy myself.

Did mine 3 months ago at suggested solicitors was £30 for 3 pages they took 10 mins easy but sounds daunting or a pain but simple

I think you only need photocopies signed if you are NOT submitting the originals as well and are using photocopies only. The Thai embassy web page says that photocopies submitted without an original must be signed, and they can be signed by a Notary Public Officer or Solicitor.

No you need originals to take to solicitor they will copy & sign.

When I did mine ( 4 years ago ) , I was unaware of this being available... I paid a solicitor £80 . Took about 2 min .
