What is Marriage Registration?

Registering a marriage at a Thai registrar or abroad with the supporting certified documents.

In detail

Where one party is a foreign national, the Thai registrar generally requires an affirmation of freedom to marry from that person's embassy, translated into Thai and legalised at the Department of Consular Affairs. Thai nationals marrying abroad typically prepare a single-status certificate, birth certificate and house registration, translated and legalised to the destination's rules.
