I had exactly the same problem with RBS Jersey.
I emailed them a notarised copy done in Udon by a registered Notary.
They would not accept it as they need to be able to check the credentials of the Lawyer , Accountant etc in the UK.
The only route is trip to Bangkok & British embassy.
My bank stated they would accept the credentials of an Australian accountant.
My bank only needed the main page which was copied & certified by the Embassy.

That might work in the case of proof for taxation but in my case the account had been frozen & I had to apply to reopen it so I could get my money.Hoopoe wrote: ↑August 8, 2017, 7:38 amHy Guys for what it's worth ,, i've had 2 bank's contact me about getting evidence they require notarised , for proof that i live abroad etc for the purpose of taxation ,On both occasions i sent in a copy of my passport, with the word's I MR ______

Natwest accepted the passport certification that is issued by the British Embassy in Bangkok.wee wrote: ↑August 7, 2017, 7:20 pmHi, sorry to crash this forum - I hope you can help!
Natwest bank requires me to send a certified copy of my passport:
Your supporting documentation can be certified by any one of the following:-
1. A member of staff at your local branch, your relationship manager or private banking manager (if applicable)
2. A lawyer or solicitor who is listed on a law society or bar association website
3. An accountant who is listed on the lnstitute of Chartered Accountants or equivalent recognised professional
body
4. Embassy official consulate or high commission.
1 = natwest = no
2 - any recommendations in the chonburi/pattaya/bang saen area?! (I saw Tamada mentioned this before)
3. are Thai accountants usually registered in this way?
4. expensive and time consuming and a disaster.
My other Q is do they need ALL pages? seems a bit ridiculous but am imagining the answer is 'YES'.
If you can help me with the best route to sorting this problem I would really appreciate it.
Many Thanks
Wee
If they want Thai address certification, where neither property or utility bills are in your name, the only thing they accepted was a notarized translation of my Thai drivers license (Thai address is on the back). I used the lawyer on Naklua Soi 12 who is also a Thai Notary.
