Legalising passport TRANSLATION for divorce in Chiang Mai?

[thaibeachlovers]

According to http://www.chiangmai.go.th/mfa/legalization2.html to legalise my passport I have to get it authenticated by my embassy!!!!!! Is that correct?????

I thought I just had to get a translation and take that and my passport to the legalisation office. This is getting bizzare.

If anyone can sort this, my thanks.

 

Step to be taken:
Complete a legalization application form and submit it along with following required documents:
- Documents in English issued by any foreign embassies or consulates in Thailand (if the documents originated in foreign countries, authentication from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of that country and endorsement by any Thai Embassy or Consulate in that country is required; otherwise, the documents will have to be authenticated by the Embassy or the Consulate of that country in Thailand.)
- Original Thai translation
- A copy of Thai Identification Card
- If submitted by a non-Thai Citizen, please provide the person’s original passport + 1 copy

You ask a question and get told an answer and then choose not to believe it, and then keep asking the same question so good luck my friend.

???????????

You have not answered THIS question on THIS thread.

 

I posted an incorrectly titled thread that has been vanished at my request, and you are claiming I had an answer already. Perhaps you posted it on the thread that vanished, but didn't it strike you as strange that there is no other reply on this thread?

 

To be clear, I have NOT had an answer to this question yet.

Well I have searched for it but cant see it now, so unless it was on the mysterious thread that has disappeared then I owe you an apology.

Anyway I wont comment on that Chang Mai jargon but I can tell you what is required elsewhere in the country.

A translation of your passport that has been stamped as a true translation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok. And the easiest way to get that is using a translation shop in Bangkok who when they have done the translation, will for a very reasonable fee, take it to the MFA and get it stamped for you and then post it to your address. You have my wife's number so if you need confirmation give her a ring and talk to her.

I hope this helps.

Yes, no doubt on the thread that was vanished at my request as incorrect title causing confusion. I did not see your reply.

There is a MFA in Chiang Mai that also do legalising of translations, but they include the very confusing instructions in the OP which is what I was asking about.

I guess I'll just have to take a translation (300 bht, so not a huge amount ) to them and see if they will do it, or not. Give me something to do anyway.

I would never trust my passport to the mail- I always take it in person.

Thanks for your reply.

When you visit a translation shop in Bangkok they take a photo copy of your passport and give it you back, they do not keep it. They just work from the copy likewise the MFA, they are stamping to say that the translation is correct  and don't need the original.

So I think if you google a translation shop and ask them if you can scan and email your passport copy and they may be able to do it.

In my divorce case, at the Lamphun office I DID NOT require a legalized translation.

 

Thanks to all with advice.
