Affidavit of Marital Status from your embassy in Bangkok
Book your embassy (Germany, UK, USA, Japan, France, Netherlands, Australia) for an Affidavit / Ehefähigkeitszeugnis / Statutory Declaration. We pre-book and accompany if needed — 1–7 days depending on the embassy.
Sworn Thai translation (Ministry of Justice)
We translate the affidavit with a MoJ-registered translator at our Central Plaza Phitsanulok office. Turnaround 1–2 business days, fee 800–1,500 THB per document.
MFA legalisation (Department of Consular Affairs)
Our courier carries the file to MFA Chaengwattana in Bangkok. Standard 3–5 business days, express 1–2 days — saving you the 377 km drive and Bangkok hotel cost.
Appointment at Mueang Phitsanulok District Office
We book the appointment at Khet Mueang Phitsanulok (Ekkathotsarot Road, beside Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat / Wat Yai) and bring a sworn interpreter on the day. Kor Ror 2 / Kor Ror 3 issued the same day.
Marriage Certificate translation for use abroad
We translate Kor Ror 3 into your spouse's language, then add MoJ + MFA + destination embassy stamps so you can update marital status at Standesamt / Register Office. DHL worldwide in 3–5 days.

Common pitfalls
⚠ Skipping MFA before embassy submission
Most missions refuse documents that were not stamped by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs first. The chain is notary → MFA → embassy — never embassy direct.
⚠ Wrong translator credential
Ministry of Justice translators are accepted for Thai government use. NAATI is required for Australian Department of Home Affairs. Using the wrong credential voids the translation.
⚠ Originals sent without certified copies
Notaries verify originals to produce certified true copies. Sending only photocopies prevents the notary from completing the legalisation step.
⚠ Name spelling drift between passport and source document
Embassies compare the latin transliteration on the passport against names printed on civil records. Even a single accent difference triggers rejection — always cross-check first.

Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should Marriage to a foreign national at Mueang Phitsanulok District Office be started?
Begin at least 3–4 weeks before the required-by date. Standard cases run 10–20 business days end-to-end; express cuts this to 5–7 business days for an additional rush fee.
Can preparation start before original documents are in hand?
Yes — send drafts or photos via LINE first. We review formatting, language, and any data points that need to change before the originals are physically signed and notarised.
Can a representative act on my behalf if I am abroad?
Yes. Options include notarisation at a Thai embassy overseas (then completion in Thailand), or executing a Power of Attorney that lets our lawyer sign and run the chain in your place.

Choose pickup at our Phitsanulok office, courier to another Thai address, EMS within Thailand, or DHL Express internationally. Every dispatch comes with a tracking number sent by email and LINE.
What happens if the embassy rejects the file?
Our three-stage QC keeps rejection below 0.5%. If rejection is due to our error we re-process at no charge. For client-side issues (wrong source document, outdated record) we quote a fixed corrective package.
