The marriage registration process is as follows :
A visit to the appropriate Embassy(s) in Bangkok to complete an 'affidavit to marry'. (You will be advised as to what documentation you need to bring with you to the embassy as it differs for each nationality).
Both parties will need to complete individual affidavits.
If you have previously been married, you may also need to complete an additional form verifying your freedom to marry (Additional costs will also be involved)
The completed affidavits will then be translated into Thai.
The forms will then need to be authorized by the Thai Foreign Ministry in Bangkok.
Once all documents are authorized, you will visit the local government office (Amphur) to complete the legal marriage certificate. You are now legally married!
Your legal marriage certificate and accompanying documentation is then translated into English.
The translated legal marriage certificate and accompanying documentation is then authorized by the Thai Foreign Ministry in Bangkok.
Completed and translated legal marriage documents will be forwarded to you at your Thailand Hotel.
Please also note: For some nationalities, there may be additional paperwork and embassy requirements to fulfill. We will advise you if this is the case.
This registration process is separate from any religious or spiritual ceremony; therefore, the paperwork must usually be done either before or after the ceremony. Don't forget that the date you register with the Amphur Office will be the date entered onto your marriage certificate, not necessarily the date of your wedding ceremony.
Please note that all Embassies and Thai Government offices are closed on week-ends and Thai public holidays. Your Embassy will also be closed on their National holidays.
