Which parts of a Thai marriage record must be translated for Australia?

In-depth Answer

Partner-visa applicants often translate only the marriage certificate because it is the handsome sheet they carry.

The document that actually carries the facts is the Kor Ror 2 register entry: both spouses' names, national ID numbers, addresses, date of registration, the registrar, and the witnesses.

Where either party was married before, prepare the divorce certificate (Kor Ror 7) with the divorce register entry (Kor Ror 6) as well, since the assessor must see the earlier marriage lawfully ended before the new one began.

Have one credentialed practitioner handle the whole set so terminology and name spellings stay consistent, and if the same documents will also be used before Thai authorities, keep in mind the two countries' certification routes are separate.
