- House registration

Cautions
- Where there was a previous marriage, evidence of how every prior marriage ended is required, not only the most recent one
- Confirm the accepted language first: some registry offices accept Lithuanian only
- Thailand acceded to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026 and it enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027, so no Thai Apostille is issued yet, so no Apostille is issued in Thailand. The working route is certified translation, legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs (MFA), and then attestation at the destination country’s mission in Thailand where the receiving authority requires it.
