ORIGINAL POSTER

Would appreciate help / suggestions.   I am UK national in the final process of submitting my Permanent residence application, which includes an endorsed "clean UK criminal record".  I already have the document, but the British Embassy confirm they will only endorse / verify a passport or drivers license.   It has then been suggested to me that I need then to send this to the Thai Embassy in London, who can then endorse this document.  Has any UK national recently applied for PR that can confirm the procedure for this.   I know other embassies in Thailand will endorse this kind of document, but it seems for UK, the process is slightly different.  Appreciate if anyone could share their experience.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A UK national applying for Permanent Residence in Thailand requires an endorsed 'clean UK criminal record.' The British Embassy verifies only passports or drivers' licenses, so the applicant needs to take the document to the Thai Embassy in London for proper endorsement. Others who have recently gone through the PR application process may clarify these steps.

ORIGINAL POSTER

I have this document but it needs to be endorsed / notarized and the British Embassy only do this for passports & driver licenses. I am being told to send to the Thai Embassy in London. For other nationalities, the Embassy will do this, however the British Embassy confirm they do not offer this service. So Im wondering if anyone successfully has received their PR and how they endorsed / notarized this document.
