Can I legalize my affirmation to marry in Chiang Mai, or do I need to go to Bangkok?

I wonder if you need any documents from your country to prove that you are not already married there?

Literally have just gotten married today, yes you have to get it done in Bangkok, you can use an agency but I did it on my own, BUT! Be careful there was mistakes with my translation! Luckily the lady gave me time at the MOFA to change it and get the fast track service ( which they don't provide anymore if you ask for it when handing in your docs) but luckily their is an translation department downstairs with re-translated my docs......

After that I went to korat and got married ( today ) and it was painless! But the hardest things are the Affirmation and translation then legalisation.

Good luck to you bro, if you need any questions answered give me a shout

the cheapest service i found was on the other side of sukhumvit, over the bridge, take left, then first right up a street next to the manhatan plaza, first translation shop on the right, 1600 or 1900 (i can't remember) for translation and take to MFA, i collected it but they will post it, the others quoted 3000

, said there are a TON of translation services which will translate your affirmation statement (and your passport too) go get the MFA certification stamps and mail the papers to you. I mentioned the passport because some Amphurs want your passport translated into thai and certified by the MFA too.

In the Trendy Building on Sukhumvit Soi 13 there are a LOT of shops that will do the translation, get the stamps and mail it to you

There are plenty of lawyers/agents who will do it for you, a few close to the US embassy. The right price is about 1,500 baht and they'll take the paperwork in for you, pick it up when it's ready and then send it to you in the post
