Anyone submitting a marriage certificate in support of a visa application, a civil-status registration, an employment file, or a court or registry filing in Cyprus is normally required to submit both the Thai original issued by District registrar (amphoe) or Bangkok district office and a properly certified translation. Filing only the translation is one of the most common reasons a file is returned unread.
Foreign nationals sending a marriage certificate back for use in Cyprus — to prove family status, claim an inheritance, apply for a benefit or confirm an address — should first confirm whether the receiving body requires legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs, and whether the Cyprus mission in Thailand must attest the document afterwards.
Employers posting staff to Cyprus, or filing contract and registration documents, should prepare the whole bundle as a single set so that personal names, company names and spellings match on every page. A one-letter discrepancy between passport and certificate routinely forces the entire certification chain to be restarted.

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.
