I believe that the USA Embassy in Bangkok will now certify passport copies - I assume in response to demands on the Thai side of the equation.  I was shown one by a translator, when I asked what I was supposed to do about this limitation at so many amphoes. 

Well thats good news. My experience was last year when I wanted to get 'legally' married so I could apply to take my wife with me back to the US, To say I was frustrated by the whole process would be an understatement. But it all worked out alright in the usual Thai way of greasing a few palms!

Great Country ain't it!

The OP hasn't stated the nationality of his wife, you've rather jumped to that conclusion.

 

'We', rather than 'I', suggests she is not Thai.

You are correct. My wife and I are farang. Same same but different.

Because my forum name is Soistalker?  That's a bit harsh.

I am from Trumpland.
