MARRIAGE REGISTRATION IN THAILAND

When a foreigner decides to marry in Thailand, the marriage registration process starts with a visit to your embassy. Generally Marriage registration in Thailand can take two forms. It could be a foreigner getting married to a Thai or a foreigner getting married to another foreigner. Thai marriage registration is not overly complicated however the paperwork needed might feel too much for some. When the marriage is registered in Thailand, many if not all the documents have to be translated into Thai.
Marriage registration in Thailand starts with affirmations from your embassy in Thailand confirming not only your citizenship but that you are single. This will allow you to get married in Thailand.

This affirmation is an overnight process. Obtain the format from your embassy and complete it at home. Then take the affirmation back to the embassy and have them authenticate the affirmation.

Marriage registration in Thailand can become a drawn out affair. If you were previously married, you will need to produce your original divorce decree or the death certificate of your late spouse. These documents have to be translated into Thai and taken to the Thai Department of Foreign Affairs to be verified.

Once the documents have been verified by Thai Foreign Affairs, the final step of your marriage registration takes place. The verified documents have to be taken to the local district office called the "Amphur" or "Khet" to register your marriage. Marriage registration ends with the issuing of a Thai marriage certificate.
The statutory statement which would be required by the Thai authorities will set you back about 1,600 Thai Baht each for the US embassy and 3,100 Baht for the British embassy. The embassy procedures would vary but they will charge a fee for notarizing the affirmation. The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs also has a nominal fee for verifying the documents which will enable you to register you marriage in Thailand. Fees to have the documents officially translated into Thai also vary.

In summary, a foreigner wishing to register their marriage in Thailand needs to provide the following documents at the local district government.

" We decided to get married in Thailand, even though we had never been to Thailand before, and I had no idea what we were doing to make sure that it was legal. This law firm worked with us, and even though we had a challenge obtaining certain legal documents, they helped took great care of us and everything worked out fine. After we were married, they even sent us our documents instead of having to stay longer. If I ever need a lawyer in Thailand again, I will definitely contact them. "

" My partner and I have known each other for nearly 20 years. 5 Years ago we got engaged and 2.5 years ago we did the village wedding. Since then we have been trying in vain to formalize our marriage. My not being permanently located in Thailand didn’t help but there seemed so many hoops to jump through (that kept changing). I was ready to give up when Khun Rex at Siam legal was recommended to me. I dropped them a Line message and within 10 minutes I had a response. After a bit of back and forth we went in to meet Khun Rex. He and Khun Kanpitcha were brilliant. Very professional and quickly identified some issues we were unaware of. The marriage was sorted in a week and all the translations done within a couple more. I am really happy I stopped letting friends try and help and used a professional! "
