Marriage Registration in Thailand
Legally register your marriage at the Amphur, including embassy affirmation and certified translations.
Marrying in Thailand requires a multi-step process: embassy affirmation of single status, translation, legalisation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and registration at the Amphur (district office). We manage the full sequence so you can focus on the ceremony.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Thai marriage recognised abroad?
Yes — Thailand-registered marriages are recognised in almost every jurisdiction, though some embassies require additional legalisation.
Do we need a prenup?
Optional, but recommended where pre-marriage assets need protection. The prenup must be registered with the marriage to be enforceable.
