Lite Beer Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 No, there is no need as your Marriage is already recognized in UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 However they do have a provision to do so for a price. Believe it gets the information into the UK system for local proof so might be useful for those moving to the UK to make it easier to prove the marriage (most would not be able to read a Thai marriage certificate I suspect).

Lite Beer Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 The fee is 1,820 Baht. From UK Embassy site Depositing marriage documents in the UK Depositing your marriage document is not a legal requirement. You are unable to register a Thai marriage in the UK. As a general rule, as long as your marriage is valid and legal in the country in which it took place, it is likely to be recognised in the UK. If you are in doubt as to the legality of your marriage, please consult a solicitor. You can simply deposit your Thai marriage certificate with the General Registry Office (England / Scotland / Northern Ireland) in the UK for safe-keeping at any time after the marriage has taken place. When you are in Thailand, you can apply for this service through the British Embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
