When dealing with documents that will be used abroad, it is necessary to submit them to either a government agency or embassy. You may have heard terms such as “legalization service,” “certificate,” and “consular legalization” frequently. These terms refer to the process of having your documents legalized to ensure their validity and confirm that they are ready to be used. Once the documents have been through the legalization service, they are considered legally valid for use abroad. In order to apply for a Registration of Family Status (Khor.Ror.22), the documents must first be legalized by the appropriate authority before being submitted. This registration serves as proof of the applicant’s family status and confirms their spouse’s rights. If you wish to apply for a Registration of Family Status (Khor.Ror.22), the document must be certified by the embassy and then legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Thailand to ensure its complete validity.
1. What is an Affidavit? What is its Purpose?
An Affidavit serves to affirm the validity of a document, ensuring its lawful acceptance abroad. The United States Embassy rigorously checks all information within the documents for correctness, liability, and accuracy before certifying and affixing its stamp.
For Thai individuals who register marriages overseas, applying for a visa to enter Thailand for their spouse, whether Thai or foreigner, requires informing Thai authorities for the Registration of Family Status (Khor.Ror.22). This step is crucial for obtaining a dependent visa, marriage visa, or other transactions within Thailand.
