I ordered a triple sealed original copy of my divorce decree from the court in my hometown. It is certified by the Clerk of the Court AND the Judge, with the raised seal of the court. What more do these people want?! Secretary of State? Who is that and why? Just why?

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!

Once I get my Affadavit and divorce decree translated to Thai for marriage and bring it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs do they certify it the same day?
