WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Thai Divorce Decree (ทะเบียนหย่า / ใบหย่า — Kor.Ror.6 & Kor.Ror.7)
Thailand recognizes two divorce routes, and the paperwork differs. An uncontested administrative divorce at the District Office (Amphoe) yields the Kor.Ror.6 (ค.ร.6) divorce register and the Kor.Ror.7 (ค.ร.7) divorce certificate issued to each ex-spouse; a contested case ends in a judgment from a Thai Provincial or Family Court. The Kor Ror 7 certificate confirms the marriage is dissolved and names both parties, while the Kor Ror 6 register records settlement, custody, and property terms. All dates run in the Buddhist Era. To prove a petitioner is free to marry — for a K-1 fiancé visa or a later spousal petition — USCIS needs the Kor Ror 7 (and often the Kor Ror 6) fully translated, or a certified copy of the court judgment for litigated divorces. The English translation must label each form number, convert พ.ศ. years, mirror both names to passport spelling, reproduce the registrar's seal, and end with the translator's signed statement of accuracy.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Thai Divorce Decree Comes From
In Thailand, civil-status records come from the สำนักทะเบียน / อำเภอ (Local Civil Registrar — District Office/Amphoe, under the Bureau of Registration Administration, Ministry of Interior; the Khet office in Bangkok). Thailand acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026, but it takes effect only on 28 February 2027; until then, Thai documents are authenticated by consular legalization through the Legalization Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Chaeng Watthana Rd., Bangkok).

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Thai Divorce Decree Translated
For your Thai divorce decree, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Thai original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Thai Divorce Decree Pitfalls
Thai divorce records must show an unambiguous dissolution date and the exact court or registry that granted it; a vague or mistranslated date can make USCIS question whether a prior marriage truly ended before a new one began.
Native Thai Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Thai divorce decree translation cost?
A standard Thai divorce decree is typically $15-25 total, certified and formatted, delivered in 24-48 hours. Pricing is $0.05 per word; longer or multi-page documents are quoted exactly before you pay.
Is your Thai divorce decree translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we correct it free and reimburse your resubmission fee.
How should my Thai name be spelled in the English translation?
Exactly as it appears in your passport. Thai has no single official Romanization system, so one name can be spelled several valid ways in English; we match your documents to your passport and other USCIS filings so the names line up and don't trigger an RFE.
