Please keep comments to the question. How other countries does certification is not important and only brings confusion.

The OP says his certificate is in Spanish. I'm not sure where Taiwan comes into it?

Sorry about that. Seeing as we don't know the country of origin for the certificate, the OP will need to check himself.

You may also need the certificate legalised by your home country before it can be certified by the Thai authorities. This is certainly the case for UK marriage certificates, but possibly not Taiwanese.

When my marriage certificate had to be translated, it had to be a certified translation and also certified by Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so do make sure you have all instructions from your specific immigration office. They differ.

And the translation must be certified by the Ministry of Foreign affairs.

Don't forget, you will also need your Embassy to certify it.
