Three routes — which one fits your area
| Route | Best for | Note | Provinces |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-office appointment | Within same-day travel of one of our offices | Signatory appears in person before the attorney | 27 |
| We travel to you | Multiple signatories, or executives who cannot travel | Booked ahead; the document set is verified before we depart | 6 |
| Courier + video identity check | Provinces far from our offices | We review document photos on LINE before anything ships, so no courier round is wasted | 44 |
Documents to prepare
- Affirmation of freedom to marry from the foreign national's embassy
- The foreign national's passport plus the Thai partner's ID card and house registration
- Divorce papers or a death certificate for any previous marriage
- Thai translations of every foreign document
- The district office where you intend to register
How the process runs
- 1.Confirm what form your embassy issues and how far ahead it must be booked
- 2.Translate the affirmation into Thai using the passport spelling of names
- 3.Have the translation certified by the consular department as the district office requires
- 4.Check the complete set before attending, together with any witnesses the registrar wants
- 5.After registration, translate and certify the marriage certificate for use abroad
Pitfalls that get work rejected
- Letting the affirmation expire before the appointment — some districts count a shorter validity than couples expect
- A translated name that differs from the passport, which breaks the certificate's use abroad
- Forgetting to translate the marriage certificate afterwards, which stalls the later spouse-visa filing
We plan the full cycle — from the affirmation through to a marriage certificate that actually works for a later spouse-visa filing — not just the district-office day. If you would rather not handle the runaround yourself, send document photos to LINE @thainotary or call 094-8958999 — our team of 15+ years assesses the matter and manages it end to end.
