What civil status rules govern marriage and divorce certificate translations?
Certified translation
Per the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs (MFA Thailand) to "What civil status rules govern marriage and divorce certificate translations?" — Inbound chain for foreign documents: notarisation or Apostille in the country of origin → that country's embassy in Bangkok (non-Apostille states only) → Thai translation → MFA certification, after which DBD, district offices, Immigration and the Thai courts accept the file. Multi-language certified translation for use in Thailand runs in three layers: translation by a native/MFA-recognised translator, a certificate of accuracy sealed by the translation company or a Notary Public lawyer, then MFA legalisation of that translation.
