タイ国籍者が外国(日本・米国・欧州・豪州・アジア各国)で婚姻登録を行う場合、提出国の Registrar(婚姻登録機関)が要求するのは「タイ側で本人が独身であり、タイ法上婚姻可能であること」を証明する公的書類、すなわち『独身証明書(Single Status / Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry / Certificate of No Impediment, CNI)』です。これはタイ国内務省・郡役場(Amphur)が発行し、英語または提出国指定言語に認証翻訳した上で、タイ外務省領事局(MFA)で領事認証(Nitikorn / Legalization)→ 提出国の在タイ大使館で更に認証(レガリゼーション・チェーン)を経て初めて、現地 Registrar に受理されます。
提出国により要件は異なります。米国は州により『Affidavit of Freedom to Marry(自己宣誓)』で代替可能、豪州は NAATI 認定翻訳が必須、独・仏・伊・西・蘭は EU sworn translator による翻訳と各国 Registrar(Standesamt / Mairie / Comune / Registro Civil / Gemeente)の事前審査(独 Ehefähigkeitszeugnis、仏 Certificat de Capacité à Mariage、伊 Nulla Osta)が必要、デンマーク(特に Ærø 島)は欧州最速で 5〜7 営業日で完了するため日欧カップルに人気、日本は『婚姻要件具備証明書』を在タイ日本国大使館経由で取得し受理国役場に提出します。

提出国別 Registrar 要件の徹底比較
米国(州別): 婚姻登録は州ごとに管轄が異なり、NY・CA は County Clerk、TX は Justice of the Peace。多くの州で Affidavit of Freedom to Marry(自己宣誓)で代替可能だが、NY・CA・FL 等は別途タイ郡役場発行の Single Status を要求。Apostille 加盟国なのでハーグ条約に基づく Apostille(2024 年 12 月 14 日からタイも加盟)で大使館認証を省略可能。
欧州諸国(独仏伊西蘭): 各国 Registrar(独 Standesamt、仏 Mairie、伊 Comune、西 Registro Civil、蘭 Gemeente)が事前審査制度を持ち、独 Ehefähigkeitszeugnis(婚姻能力証明)、仏 Certificat de Capacité à Mariage(婚姻能力証明)、伊 Nulla Osta(婚姻不障碍証明)等の事前許可が必要。Sworn Translation(裁判所登録宣誓翻訳者)による翻訳のみ受理。納期 14〜28 営業日。
デンマーク(Ærø): 欧州 EU 圏内で最も簡素な要件で婚姻可能。Ærø 島の Marriage Bureau は到着 2〜3 日前の書類郵送 → 翌日挙式可能。タイ + EU カップル・同性カップル・年齢差カップル等の欧州内婚姻ハブとして人気。Thai Notary は Ærø パッケージで 11,500 THB から完全代行。
アジア(日韓中台星): 日本は婚姻要件具備証明書(在タイ日本国大使館発行)+ 受理国役場 Konin Todoke、韓国は Family Register System、中国は Civil Affairs Bureau、台湾は Household Registration Office、シンガポール ROM Solemnisation。各国の戸籍制度に合わせた書類調整が必要。
A. はい、必須です。外国婚姻はタイ郡役場で『คร.22(Khor Ror 22)外国婚姻再登録』を行わないと、タイ国内戸籍・相続・財産分与・パスポート姓変更等で実務支障が生じます。Thai Notary は帰国後の คร.22 まで完全代行します。
Q2.おふたりが出頭できない場合は?
A. Power of Attorney(委任状)+ 公証 + MFA 認証で代理人による独身証明取得・MFA 認証・大使館認証・คร.22 提出が可能です。Thai Notary スタッフが代理人として全工程対応できます。

Q4.豪州婚姻に NAATI 翻訳は必須?
A. はい、Australian Department of Home Affairs は独身証明書の NAATI Certified Translator による翻訳のみを受理します。Thai Notary は NAATI 認定翻訳者ネットワークで対応可能。
Q5.米国婚姻の必要書類は?
A. 州により異なりますが、多くの州で Affidavit of Freedom to Marry(自己宣誓)で代替可能。NY・CA 等は別途 Single Status を要求するため州別チェックリストを Thai Notary が提供します。
Q6.日本人配偶者がタイ人と日本で結婚する場合は?
