Hi There,

 

I am currently in England, trying to divorce my Thai husband, however the cretins at the courts and tribunals service have lost my paperwork inc my marriage certificate. 

 

How do I go about getting a replacement?

 

Thanks

UK or Thai certificate

If you make a police report for the lost certificate make sure that you make it in the place that you lost the certificate. :)  If you report it anywhere where you say you did not lose your certificate they will not give it to you.

 

Police report in hand go to a district office that does marriages for a replacement paper certificate.

  There is one record of the details of your marriage. you may have to go to the place where you actually got married to get.

Thai.

 

I live in London, I'm guessing there is no way to do it from here?

 

 

there should be another one somewhere. at least 2 are issued at the time 

I believe there are two certificates you can get.  One is "kor sam" (kor 3), which is the original, fancy one.  As far as I know, you cannot get a replacement for this.  That is at least what I was told.

 

The second one is "kor song" (kor 2).  This you can get at any (?) amphur just by turning up with your passport and asking for it.  Some immigration offices ask for this, to show that the marriage is still current, as kor song is provided with the date you ask for it, so should be easy to get.  Somebody can get this on your behalf  too I think, because somebody offered to get it on my behalf.  They asked for my passport (original) in order to get it, but perhaps it's possible without handing out your passport to somebody too.  Perhaps the Thai embassy where you are could help too.

 

 

I'm not aware of any police reports required, and it was certainly not required for "kor song". Will you get a new "kor sam", the fancy one, if you turn up at the amphur with a police report?  

 

 

I have spoken with my wife and you need to sign a power of attorney to a lawyer and also supply a copy of your passport and your husbands Thai I'd card and then the lawyer can get a copy for you, no problem.
