Thai corporate documents (DBD / Revenue Department) for overseas use
Answers on translating and certifying Thai corporate records — company affidavit, shareholder list (BorJor.5), memorandum of association, VAT certificate (PP.20) and financial statements — for foreign counterparties, banks and authorities, following DBD/Revenue Department issuance and MFA Legalization Division practice. (22+ search topics covered)
Should the company name be translated or transliterated?
The registered Thai name is the legal identity, so the translation reproduces it and shows the registered English name exactly as recorded with the Department of Business Development where one exists. Inventing an English rendering that differs from the register creates a mismatch between the extract, the bank record and the contract, which is one of the most common reasons a corporate file is returned.
Which company documents are usually required for overseas filings?
Most commonly the certificate of incorporation or company affidavit, the memorandum and articles, the shareholder list and the list of authorised directors, each obtained from the Department of Business Development. Receiving authorities generally require recently issued certified extracts rather than office copies, followed by certified translation and legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs before any endorsement abroad.
Can a director sign from abroad?
Yes, by signing before an authority competent to certify signatures in that country — a Royal Thai Embassy or a local notary followed by that country's own certification chain. The correct order depends on where the document will finally be used.
What is the usual certification chain for Thai corporate documents?
Typically: obtain the certified extract from the DBD, have it translated, submit it to the Legalization Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, and — if the destination requires it — have the destination country's embassy in Thailand attest it afterwards.
How is a Thai company affidavit prepared for overseas use?
Obtain a current extract from the Department of Business Development bearing the registrar's signature and seal, prepare a translation into English or the destination language, then obtain consular legalisation from the Department of Consular Affairs and, where required, authentication by the destination country's embassy in Thailand. Because banks and foreign registries usually impose a recency limit on registry extracts, time the extract close to your actual submission date rather than obtaining it far in advance.
How recent must a DBD company extract be when submitted abroad?
There is no universal rule; the receiving bank, registrar or tender authority sets the window, and it is often counted from the issue date rather than the legalisation date. Because translation and legalisation consume part of that window, plan backwards from the submission deadline and order the extract as late as safely possible. If the recipient has not stated a limit in writing, ask before ordering.
Do financial statements have to be translated in full?
It depends on the recipient. Some accept the balance sheet, income statement and auditor's report; others require all notes. Partial translations must state clearly in the certification which sections were translated.
Company and director names are spelled inconsistently. Does that matter?
Yes — name mismatches are the most common reason corporate bundles are rejected. Fix one spelling that matches the passport and the registered English name, then use it in every document.

Service Playbook
Corporate documents — affidavits, shareholder lists and financials for overseas use
Company records for foreign use must be freshly issued by the Department of Business Development and then translated and legalised for the destination. Most destinations accept them only within about six months of issue.
Documents to prepare
- • Freshly issued company affidavit from the DBD
- • Shareholder list (Bor Or Jor 5)
- • Memorandum and articles of association
- • Audited financial statements
- • Board minutes or resolutions relevant to the transaction
- • Power of attorney signed by authorised directors
Step-by-step process
- 1. Obtain fresh extracts — Reissue the affidavit and shareholder list close to filing.
- 2. Translate with consistent legal terminology — Keep officer titles and business objectives uniform across the bundle.
- 3. Certify director signatures — Sign before a Notarial Services Attorney where the destination requires it.
- 4. Run the legalisation chain — Department of Consular Affairs, then the destination-specific final step.
Pitfalls and rejection causes
- • Affidavits older than the destination's window are commonly refused.
- • Inconsistent translation of business objectives raises questions at foreign banks.
- • Resolutions must align with the signing authority shown in the affidavit.
- • Never separate a bound, cross-sealed set.
Tips from our team
- • Maintain a reusable corporate glossary for consistency.
- • Reissue extracts as close to submission as practical.
- • Prepare separate sets per destination for multi-jurisdiction deals.

Practical Q&A
Practical questions · Near me / DIY / Required documents
What is the route for Thai company documents used abroad?
Obtain the company affidavit, shareholder list (BorJor 5) or latest memorandum from the Department of Business Development, translate into the language the destination requires, then legalise at the Legalization Division of the Department of Consular Affairs. If the destination is not an Apostille Convention party, the destination country's embassy certifies last.
Must the company affidavit be freshly issued?
Most receiving authorities set a validity window counted from the registrar's issue date, commonly measured in months. Check the recipient's requirement before ordering copies: filing an out-of-date affidavit is a frequent rejection cause, and legalisation cannot revive an expired document.
How is a corporate power of attorney certified?
An authorised director signs before a Notarial Services Attorney, attaching a current company affidavit that evidences signing authority. The signed POA then goes to the Department of Consular Affairs and, where required, the destination embassy. Ask our team by phone, LINE or email for the order that applies to your country.
Practical advice & cautions
Business, tax and legal work: advice and cautions
Before you start
Keep complete source documents
Tax invoices, receipts and contracts should be filed systematically per accounting period to support any later audit.
Check for sector-specific licences
Some activities need a licence from a specialist regulator before operating. Verify at the planning stage.
Use bilingual contracts with a governing version
Cross-border contracts should state which language version prevails and how disputes are resolved.
Assess tax residence before planning
Liability depends on tax residence and any applicable double-tax agreement; evaluate before moving funds or receiving cross-border income.
Common reasons documents get rejected
Treating a contract translation as legal advice
A translation conveys wording but does not assess legal risk. Have a lawyer review the substance before signing.
Outdated company certificates
Certificates submitted should be freshly issued and consistent with the current register, or the receiving authority will refuse them.
Improper nominee shareholding
Using nominees to bypass foreign business restrictions carries serious legal risk. Structure the company lawfully from the outset.
Failing to file changes
Changes of director, address or capital must be filed within the statutory period; omissions create mismatches that block other applications.
Requirements differ by authority and destination country and can change. Confirm current conditions with the receiving authority, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
