TLDR : Answer Summary
The post seeks recommendations for reliable notary services in Phuket to notarize a document for submission to the USA. Comments suggest that a Thai notary is acceptable for this purpose, as US notaries cannot notarize documents outside their state. The American embassy's notary services were attempted but not deemed suitable for the required document. One commenter recommends a specific law firm in Phuket for the notarization.

Where may a notary public exercise notarial powers?
A notary public may perform notarial acts in any county of the State or in the City of Baltimore, regardless of the place where the notary public was appointed. For instance, a notary public for Somerset County may also act as a notary public in any other county in the State.”
Via video you contact a notary in Maryland where the notary is authorized. You send him the document, you prove your identity, you sign the document in front of the notary, the notary logs the document, affixes their seal and sends it back to you. That's considered a legal notarization in the State of Maryland and the document is accepted as notarized by all the other states and by the federal government.
"Can a notary notarize a document from another state?
Yes, most notaries are able to notarize documents even if that document comes from another state. Notaries are geographically limited regarding where they can notarize documents, not necessarily where the documents come from."
"Can a Notary Notarize a Document From Another State?
In order for a notary to be permitted to notarize documents, he or she has to be certified by that specific state. Once a notary receives his or her commission, he or she is permitted to notarize documents in that state. This means that the location where the document is notarized is important, not necessarily where the document is from.
For example, if a notary is commissioned to notarize documents in North Carolina, and he or she is allowed to work as a notary in North Carolina. This means that he or she can accept and notarize documents from other states as long as he or she is still notarizing them in North Carolina. This also means that the notary cannot necessarily notarize documents from North Carolina if he or she is located outside of North Carolina at the time the service is performed. Notaries have geographical boundaries, but they are allowed to notarize documents from other states."
it is for a replacement of a birth abroad certificate from years ago. They need a letter with all the info, a copy of passport, and want it notarised. Plus US dollars in a bank draft/cheque
