How do I prepare a spousal consent letter for recording an overseas marriage at a Thai district office, and how long does it take?
After registration the documents most often requested next are the marriage certificate (Kor Ror 3) and the marriage register extract (Kor Ror 2).
The key point for this question — after registration the documents most often requested next are the marriage certificate (Kor Ror 3) and the marriage register extract (Kor Ror 2). Both need a fresh translation and certification for spouse visa filing, civil-status updates or notifying an overseas authority, so ordering them together reduces the number of rounds. If you are outside Bangkok, ask our staff about sending documents by post.
