Dear readers,

Registration marriage in Thailand.

  1. collect an international extract of your marriage certificate from your municipality;
  2. legalize at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Hague;
  3. Thai embassy legalization;
  4. translating into Thailand;
  5. legalize at Foreign Affairs in Bangkok;
  6. registration with Ampur.

Do you have to make an appointment for 2 and 3?

Can you already start points 1 to 3 or is there a maximum period between legalization at the Thai embassy and subsequent steps (is this legalized deed still valid)?

Are additional documents required for registration with Ampur?

Regards,

Evert

    Hi Evert,

    I went through the process not long ago, you can arrange points 1 to 3 in advance, but the documents must not be older than 6 months when registering Amphur.
    You do not need to make an appointment for point 2, but you do need to make an appointment for point 3.
    At the Amphur where I had the registration done, they also asked for a copy in accordance with a legalized passport. I knew from someone that some Amphur ask for this, so I arranged that at the Dutch embassy in BKK upon arrival in BKK. I had the translation and legalization done at an agency in BKK, papers were sent by EMS, you can save a lot of time.
    I also arranged my International birth certificate, because it was asked at the Tessabaan, to register with the municipality.

    Hello Evert

    The first thing you stated is correct.
    You also need a copy of your passport, which can be Legalized at the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok.
    And it must also be translated into Thai's and legalized at Thai's foreign affairs in Bangkok.

    Normally a document is valid for 6 months.

    If you want a yellow house book with a pink ID card, you also need a birth certificate and that goes the same as you described yourself.

    But you must clearly indicate at the Amper that you want to register and also want a yellow house book with a pink ID cart.

    good luck Adrian

    This topic comes up regularly here on thailandblog.nl. Just type in your subject in the top left corner of the search bar, and you will find all the necessary information. Short summary: every Thai municipality has different requirements when it comes to registering a marriage. I myself had to extract int. marriage and extract int. birth certificate (translated and legalised). My Dutch passport was sufficient, no legalized translation/legalization was requested for this. As mentioned earlier, the rules differ per municipality. I think the most sensible thing to do is to have your partner call the relevant municipality and ask what the requirements are there. If possible, have them email the requirements so that you can show this as proof to the relevant municipal official in the event of unexpected ambiguity at the 'moment surpreme'. So you can simply have the whole thing translated and legalized, or just ask what the requirements are for your municipality. Do what you want with this. Good luck.
