I'm trying to get the yellow book here in Udon and was told that the certified translations I used to get married in the Amphur 9 years ago were not certified enough to apply for the book and I had to go to Chaeng Watthana. Didn't have enough green/red stamps if you can figure that logic!! eg Birth Certificate, Decree Nisi etc.

I searched the site and found this address, is it the correct place to get them re-certified?

If they are foreign sourced documents they first have to be certified by your embassy.This can present a problem in some cases, depending on the embassy. Were the documents originally certified by your embassy?

No, my documents are certified copies issued by the relevant government authorities in Australia with attached seals, stamps and signatures etc. The translations were done in Bangkok and the translators sent them away to be authorized. As i stated no problem with them until now.

Thank you digitalchromakey will try them 1st.

If your translated documents were certified by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs the first time, I don't see what is to be gained the second time.

The OP mentioned being told that there were not enough Green/Red Stamps - the stamps from the Legalisation Dept are Green/Red, so maybe a signature verification was originally missed on the rear of a document, etc.

More likely explanation is that the Australian documents were not certified by the Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Embassy) and were rejected by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs for that reason.

I am not quite sure about this but I believe the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not be able to authenticate (certify) the signature of officiala of other countries' Foreign Ministries. What they will certify are the signatures of foreign diplomats accredited in Thailand and of authorised translators whose signatures are deposited with them.
