Hi all I'm looking to get my marriage certificate translated I'm told only Bangkok if someone could direct me to how and where I would be extremely grateful thanks in advance
Answer summary
To get your marriage certificate translated and certified in Bangkok, you need to follow a few steps. First, book an appointment at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) through their official website. You can choose between express service, which provides same-day stamping, or regular service, which takes two working days. Ensure that the translation is done by a certified translator, as it needs to be stamped by the MFA for it to be valid. There are many translators available in waiting areas at the MFA. An additional recommendation is to stay near the MFA, such as at the Narra Hotel for convenience.

Process may be different (Australian) but I had the translations all done online. Took the original to DFAT (AU Foreign Affairs) and had it certified first, the certification is an important step. Then scanned and sent the certified document to NAATI certified interpreter. She sent me back the translated document which I printed and along with the original took to the passport office here in Pattaya. They legalised the whole thing and returned it in 2 days. I can now use that document at the local amphur to get a Thai Kor Ror 22 marriage certificate.

First thing book an appointment here

Then you decide if you want express or regular (express you get it stamped on the day, regular it takes two working days)

Then on the day you going mfa, people will come to you and ask what you need translated

I also recommend Narra Hotel it's near the mfa building. (walking distance)

Since the mfa building is about 1 hour away central Bangkok (Sukhumvit) with train and traffic is chaos.
