The ceremony itself is actually an official reenactment of an established fact because by the time the certificate arrives back to us, the marriage has already been approved.  During the ceremony, the local official will ask the bride and groom to state their names, professions and whether they’ve made a petition for marriage.  After hearing the appropriate answers to his questions (we will be on hand to act as translator), he automatically certifies the marriage and issues duplicate his and hers marriage certificates decorated with conch shells and flowers.  The marriage certificate is in Thai but we will arrange for a notarized translation to be sent on later. For some nationalities, there are additional procedures required after the wedding here in order for the marriage to be legally recognized and/or registered in your home country.  Please let us know your nationalities when making the initial enquiry so that we can provide with the appropriate information

This registration process is separate from any religious or spiritual ceremony; therefore, the paperwork must usually be done in the ceremony. Don't forget that the date you register with the Amphur Office will be the date entered onto your marriage certificate, not necessarily the date of your wedding ceremony.
