What are the options for UK document translation and legalisation for marriage certificates and passports?

Fit translation we used someone in Scotland. For getting it certified as all good we sent to Thai embassy in London via post and visit £10. DM me if you want more details if you are in UK

I got my documents apostilled at Milton Keynes and then scanned them in, and emailed to my wife in Thailand. She printed off and had them translated for 300 baht. She then scanned the translations in and emailed them to me. I printed the translations off and posted the original documents, apostilled documents and translations to The Royal Thai Embassy in London for certification. The details are on the embassy website. They stamp the translations as accurate and return all documents to you. Alternatively you can take the original and apostilled documents to Bangkok and get them translated. Then take them all to the MFA so the translations can be stamped as accurate. You cannot get official UK documents apostilled in Bangkok as that can only be done in the UK.

Crazy that in 30 years the price went up.

If you want your Thai marriage certificate from the amphur translating and official for UK government use such as spouse visa application the Thai Embassey has a link I used in early 2025 to a person who gets everything translated and stamped by Thai Embassy in London. I used this for HM Immigration document as part of visa application and it cost about £80

I was looking for a similar service and yes, it's expensive now. For apostilling there is a UK government option but they may add on the services of a lawyer to initially authenticate the document which adds costs. Good luck .

So I'm not sure if this is 100% right? But my case was I got married when I were 21 still had my divorce papers. I brought them to the the British embassy in Bangkok to prove I was divorced and they gave me the certificate. Although it had to be translated, my tie wife had got someone online. I think we paid 1200 bahts to the lady who did it within twenty four hours although we were married on the 2nd of February 2024, it was the 16th. Are february when we went to what I keep calling that the town hall, government building to register the marriage i've did pay them about 2 or 3000 for the city certificate at the embassy. Although for some reason, they did give me the money back? Hope that helps

I believe to get your marriage certificate apostilled you need to deal directly with the office in Milton Keynes and then need to get it approved by the Thai embassy in London
