Knowledge Box: Using Overseas Documents in Thailand
For a marriage certificate or any other document issued overseas, please note that it must first be legalized by the relevant authorities in your country, such as a Notary Public or the MFA, and then by the Thai Embassy in that country before it can be used in Thailand.
For any documents that are not in English, they must first be translated into English and legalized by the relevant authorities, including a Notary Public, the MFA, and the Thai Embassy in your country.
After that, we can translate the documents into Thai and submit them to the MFA in Thailand for legalization. Once completed, the documents can be used in Thailand.
Workflow: Upload, Translate, QA, Deliver
Here is the usual process, from document upload to delivery.
Submit Your Document
Send a clear photo or scan of your marriage certificate through our quote form, WhatsApp, LINE, or email. A phone photo is fine if all text, stamps, and edges are readable.
Quote & Confirmation
We will confirm the price, turnaround time, and whether you may need official document legalization. Most quotes are sent within 2-4 hours during business hours.
Translation & Second-Reviewer QA
A qualified translator prepares the document, including names, dates, registration numbers, and official stamps. A second linguist then reviews the details because marriage certificate errors can affect visa, embassy, and immigration submissions.
Certification & Delivery
We add the certification statement, company seal, and translator signature. Digital copies are sent by email, and hard copies are available when needed.
Transparent Pricing by Language

Certified vs. Legalized: Which Do You Need?

Standard certification includes a translator statement and company seal. This is accepted for many routine submissions, but requirements vary by authority.

Cost, Turnaround, and Acceptance

Standard Thai ↔ English translations are usually delivered within 24 hours. Other language pairs typically take 1-2 business days. Same-day rush may be available for many language pairs. MFA legalization normally adds 3-5 business days.

It depends on the purpose. For registering a foreign marriage in Thailand, MFA legalization is usually needed. For many spouse visa applications, a certified translation may be enough.
