Anyway, what documents did you present and what else did they tell you?

@Michael *******
Well, for a business registration, simply show them the website of the authority where the legitimacy can be checked.

OK so you got it notarized in America and then had the documents scanned and emailed to you? That sounds easy enough. I can find a notary public in Bangkok tomorrow and get it done.

As long as the documents don't have to be legalized by the Thai embassy in France! The company I am consulting for is French. I'm not French myself (not that it matters, the process is identical regardless).

I emailed them just after I read this post. I received a reply within the hour, but it was vague as usual. They linked to their website, which I've already read 10 times and doesn't provide any useful info.

I think I have everything required but am worried about possible legalization, especially if done through the authorities overseas (in this case, France). I might be able to get it done through an agent but would have to begin the process tomorrow and hope they can complete all steps including getting the Thai embassy over there to authenticate the document by Wednesday next week at the latest.

What kind of notarization? From a notary public?
Paul *******
A legalized document from the Thai embassy in the country of origin = very complicated if you're not present there. Also rather time consuming.

A simple notary public performed in Thailand or whatever country you're in = possibly doable

That's easy, just get a stamp from the issuing bank (easy enough if you're in Thailand and using a Thai bank) but more complicated if it's a foreign bank from back home.

What documents do they want "notarized"? Does this mean notarized by a notary public?

It would be very time consuming and difficult to get a company registration (as an example) notarized from a foreign country that you're not currently in. So difficult that it may be impossible unless a simple notary stamp from the location you're currently in is acceptable.
