Thai Divorce Certificate (Kor Ror 7 / ใบสำคัญการหย่า)

The divorce certificate in Thailand is Kor Ror 7 (คร.7), the official proof that a marriage has been legally dissolved. It’s issued after the divorce is registered and shows the spouses’ names, the registrar/office, registration number, and date. In many cases, key settlement points (property/children) may be summarized on the record as well.

Where / how it’s issued

• Mutual-consent (Amphur Divorce Procedure) Divorce in Thailand: Both spouses appear at a district office (Amphur/Khet) in Thailand or at a Royal Thai embassy/consulate that registers divorces. The registrar records the divorce on Kor Ror 6 and issues Kor Ror 7 to each party.
• Court divorce: After a final judgment, you present the judgment to the district office to register the divorce and obtain Kor Ror 7 (this updates the civil register).

Common uses

• Proof of civil status for remarriage in Thailand or abroad.
• Updating surnames, ID/passport, banking and insurance records.
• Immigration/visa and other cross-border family-law matters (often with certified translation + legalization).

Notes for foreigners

• For use outside Thailand, obtain a certified translation and then legalize the certificate: first at the Thai MFA (Department of Consular Affairs), then usually at the destination country’s embassy/consulate in Thailand.
• Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention; consular legalization is the standard route.
