Hi all, I will be marrying my girlfriend of Thai nationality.

Read here that I will need to go through 3 steps to apply for Single Status Certificate:

1) Statutory declaration – swear your oath @ Istana Kehakiman (Palace of Justice)

2) Apply for the certificate of single status @ JPN (NRD Headquarter)

3) Get the certificate endorsed by Wisma Putra (Ministry of Foreign Affair)

Just wondering, after I got the certificate endorsed, do I need to get the document translated into Thai language?
If yes, where can I get the translation service. Read somewhere on the net, the document must be translated by certified party.

Please advise, thanks!

happy for you brother.

Thanks brother.

Are they certified bodies of Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA)?
Can Thai Embassy in Malaysia perform the document translation?

Any bro and sis can give some insights on the actual process?

Best to check with the Thai Embassy
all translated documents needs to be done by a certified party

or you can google for a certified translator in malaysia

Very informative, thanks brother.

Actually I need the document in Thai language because my friend told me that to register for marriage in Thailand, I will need to go to the Amphoe located at the district where my girlfriend's hometown is (as per ID card). << correct me if I'm wrong here.

Single Status Certificate is one of the required document to bring in. However, Malaysia can only issue the cert. in English language.

I am concern whether will they accept it in English or not... hence to be safe, better to prepare both languages (English and Thai) ready. It is very far to travel to my girlfriend hometown....

Reply from Malaysian High Commission (Bangkok)

If your are non-Muslim, please apply a Statement of Marital Status (Single Status) at JPN Office (www.jpn.gov.my) in Putrajaya. Then get it to certify by Consular Division, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia, also in Putrajaya.

Bring the Single Status (which already certified) to Embassy of Malaysia in Bangkok. You and your fiance have to bring along original passport and identity card. The Malaysian has to fill the Statutory Declaration and sign in front of the Consular Officer. (all document including Malaysia passport must translate into Thai, we provide sending to translation shop with one day service, applying in the morning is recommended)

Once your document done at the Embassy, further bring it to certify from the Thai side at;
Legalization Division
Department of Consular Affairs
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand
Located at Changwattana Road, Laksi, Bangkok

Then bring your document to register Thai Marriage Certificate at any Thai District Offices.

Please also prepare two Malaysian witnesses's document (photocopy of passport and IC two persons) if you want to register a Malaysian marriage certificate at the Embassy.
