Quick answer: Thai divorce decree (คร.6 / court judgment)

"iVC handles both คร.6 (mutual) and court judgments (with finality stamp), a translation that cross-references maiden and married names, DIFA apostille, plus a locally-sworn translator in Germany, France, Italy, Spain or the Netherlands where required. From ฿3,500 in 10–25 business days."

01Is a plain Thai divorce record enough for Germany?
No — the Standesamt requires apostille PLUS a sworn translation by an öffentlich bestellter Übersetzer registered with a German court. iVC coordinates through its partner network.
02What about a Thai court divorce judgment?
Request a copy stamped with the finality notation (คดีถึงที่สุด) bearing the original court seal — DIFA will not accept a photocopy. Courts issue this in 7–14 days.
03Why does pricing range so widely?
฿3,500 covers Hague states without a sworn requirement (US, Japan, Singapore). ฿6,000–9,500 covers EU states requiring a downstream sworn translator.
04Must the ex-spouse's name be translated?
Yes — the translator affidavit must cite both pre-marriage and married surnames of both parties, allowing the destination civil registry to link records.
