Thai Birth Certificate Attestation
Thai Birth Certificate Attestation
Thai birth certificates are issued by the local district office (Amphoe) and must be legalized through the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) before they can be submitted to the UAE Embassy. The MFA verification confirms the document's authenticity and the district office's authority to issue it.
Thailand is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention for UAE purposes, so Thai documents follow the traditional attestation route: MFA legalization, UAE Embassy attestation in Bangkok, and MOFA stamping in the UAE. Each step has specific requirements regarding document format, supporting documents, and processing procedures.
GreenAttest manages the entire process through our Bangkok office, from initial document review through final delivery in the UAE. We handle MFA submissions, embassy appointments, and international courier logistics so your Thai birth certificate arrives fully attested and ready for UAE authorities.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Request a bilingual (Thai-English) birth certificate from the district office if available. Some Amphoe offices issue bilingual certificates, which eliminates the separate translation step and speeds up the process.
- Ensure the names on your birth certificate match your passport. Thai names often have different romanization variants, and mismatches must be resolved before attestation.
- If your birth was registered in a rural district, allow extra time for GreenAttest to coordinate with the local Amphoe office, as processing times vary outside Bangkok.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most Thai birth certificates are issued in Thai. They require certified English translation before UAE authorities will process them. GreenAttest arranges certified translations through MFA-approved translators in Bangkok as part of the service.
The full process takes 15-20 business days including MFA legalization, UAE Embassy attestation, and MOFA stamping. If certified translation is also needed, add 3-5 business days. Express MFA processing can reduce the total timeline.
Late-registered births are accepted, but they may require additional supporting documents from the district office. GreenAttest verifies the registration status and advises on any supplementary documents needed before starting the attestation chain.
Certified copies issued by the district office are accepted for MFA legalization. GreenAttest can arrange a fresh certified copy from the relevant Amphoe if your original is unavailable or damaged.
