Puccam Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hi everyone , To cut it short I am married to a Thai national and I have not change my family name after my husband yet. I am planing to do so soon but I understand that Thailand only issue 1 marriage certificate( if lost/damage will not be replaced) . I would like to know what would happen in my case ? I want my name on the marriage certificate to be the same for both. Would they issue me another one with the name changed? Or I can just forget it .. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puccam Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 @kralledr that is not the case! When we got married they ask me if I will change my name or not. i choose not to because my visa was expiring soon and if I change my name I have to change all the documents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not be issued a new certificate and the old certificate cannot be amended. You will get an A4 printout with your new name, stamped by the District Office. I advise you to get a couple of copies made at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 If you intend using any form of ID in Thailand, you will then have to go through the process of getting your name changed in your home country, and you will have to obtain a new passport with your married name. Once you have done that you will have to take your old passport, your new passport, your marriage and name change documents and your husband to immigration. Immigration will then transfer your permission to stay into your new passport. When you leave Thailand after this procedure, take both your old and your new passport with you. The officer on the desk may ask to see your old passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
