After thirteen years being together and the village wedding back in 2018, we want to get our marriage certificate. I have US (native) and NZ passports and have divorce decrees from both US and NZ.
Can anyone tell me the steps required to get our marriage certificate from her hometown in Surin? There seems to be conflicting info on different sites.
My main questions are:
* Do I need to go to both embassies with my divorce decrees, or is the last one sufficient?
* Is there a need to also go to the Legalization Division of Consular Affairs Department? I saw this on only one site
Thanks for your insight into this... we'd like the smoothest experience possible!
TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a marriage certificate in Surin, Thailand, follow these main steps: 1. Obtain a 'right to marry' document from your embassy, along with the last divorce decree (the last one is usually sufficient). 2. Gather necessary documents including your passport, your wife's ID card, and copies of all documents. 3. Visit the local amphur (district office) in Surin to carry out the marriage registration, bringing two witnesses along. 4. You may need to get documents translated into Thai and potentially stamped for accuracy beforehand. It is recommended to check for specific requirements or appointments needed at both the embassy and local amphur.
