How far must a Thai marriage certificate (Kor Ror 2) be translated and legalised to be accepted for registering the marriage overseas?
For divorce the core records are the divorce certificate (Kor Ror 7) and register (Kor Ror 6), or the court judgment with a certificate of finality.
The approach receiving authorities accept is this: for divorce the core records are the divorce certificate (Kor Ror 7) and register (Kor Ror 6), or the court judgment with a certificate of finality. The same translation and legalisation chain applies. For Apostille Convention states, confirm whether the destination accepts an Apostille or still asks for embassy attestation.
