Sorry if this is not related, remove if not allowed, . but I'm struggling to understand the marriage certificate process for myself I understand my wife's process but as a British citizen I have to jump through hoops and I'm struggling to understand, can someone clarify the process of obtaining a marriage certificate for a U.K. Citizen marring a Thai citizen please?
Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for a British citizen marrying a Thai citizen and obtaining a marriage certificate involves several key steps. First, the British citizen must obtain an Affidavit of Freedom to Marry from the British Embassy, which requires making an appointment online. This affidavit needs to be translated into Thai and certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After these steps, the couple can register the marriage at the local Amphur office. It's suggested to ensure that translations accurately reflect the names, as these will become the legal spelling in Thai. The Thai partner does not need to accompany the British citizen to the embassy. Additional tips include choosing a translation service familiar with embassy procedures.
