WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Thai Single Status Certificate (หนังสือรับรองความเป็นโสด (Certificate of Single Status))
To prove someone has never married, Thailand issues a หนังสือรับรองความเป็นโสด (certificate of single status), or the closely related certificate that no marriage record is found, from the District Office (Amphoe or Bangkok Khet) tied to the person's house registration. It is drawn from the civil registry and worded as a negative statement — that no record of marriage exists — signed by the registrar under the Garuda emblem with an official seal, dated in the Buddhist Era. Thai practice requires the document to be legalized by the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it carries a short validity window. For a U.S. K-1 fiancé(e) petition or an overseas marriage, USCIS and consular officers rely on the exact negative phrasing, so the certified English translation must preserve that 'no marriage record found' language precisely, not paraphrase it, convert the พ.ศ. date, match the name to the passport, note the registrar's seal, and end with the translator's certification.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Thai Single Status Certificate 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 Single Status Certificate Translated
For your Thai single-status certificate, 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 Single Status Certificate Pitfalls
Thai single-status certificates vary in scope — in some countries they attest only to the issuing registry's own records, while countries with a centralized national register cover the whole country — so the English wording must state your certificate's actual scope precisely, and name romanization must match the passport.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Thai single status certificate translation cost?
A standard Thai single-status certificate 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 single status certificate 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.
