Power of Attorney for Redemption from Mortgage (Thai Department of Lands, T.D. 21)

หนังสือมอบอำนาจ (ท.ด. 21) is the standard power of attorney form of Thailand’s Department of Lands (กรมที่ดิน). This version has the subject “ไถ่ถอนจากจำนอง” — redemption from mortgage — printed on it. When a debt secured by a mortgage on land has been repaid, the release of the mortgage is registered at the Land Office. With this form a party to the mortgage contract authorises another person to do this on his or her behalf: file the application, give statements to the officer and sign until the registration is completed.

The form records the land as shown on the title deed (โฉนด): map sheet, land number, survey page, deed number, sub-district, district and province, plus the date of the mortgage contract being redeemed. The form is filled in in Thai.

• the principal (ผู้มอบอำนาจ) — a party to the mortgage contract: the mortgagor (ผู้จำนอง) who redeems the land, or the mortgagee (ผู้รับจำนอง), e.g. the lender;
• the agent (ผู้รับมอบอำนาจ) — the person who goes to the Land Office;
• two witnesses who certify the principal’s signature or fingerprint.

If the agent is the other party to the mortgage contract or represents it, the note on the form requires adding consent that the agent acts both in his or her own name and on behalf of the other party.

• place and date (year in the Buddhist Era, พ.ศ.);
• land details from the โฉนด title deed;
• name, age, race, nationality, parents’ names, address and phone of the principal and of the agent;
• the date of the mortgage contract being redeemed;
• additional powers, if needed;
• signatures of the principal and two witnesses and the Thai ID number — by hand.

• the original title deed (โฉนดที่ดิน) — it is often held by the mortgagee;
• the mortgage contract;
• the mortgagee’s confirmation that the debt is repaid or its consent to the release — if the mortgagor grants the power;
• copies of the principal’s ID card and house registration (or a foreigner’s passport), signed by the principal;
• the agent’s ID card or passport.

The exact list, fees and processing time are not stated on the form — check with the Land Office (สำนักงานที่ดิน) where the land is registered and with the mortgagee.

1. Open the chat on this page and describe the situation in any language: who grants the power, who will act as agent, which plot and which mortgage contract.
2. Send photos of the title deed and documents or answer the questions — the assistant writes the data in Thai script and converts the year to พ.ศ.
3. Check the fields and download the PDF.
