Divorce Certificate — Apostille
Thai national based in Phayao. Main document: Divorce Certificate. Context: the destination is a Hague Convention member, so an Apostille replaced the double legalisation route.
What we handled
- prepared spare certified copies for agencies that retain documents
- reviewed the originals against the receiving authority's checklist before starting
- filed with Department of Consular Affairs (Thailand's Competent Authority), for onward use in Argentina
- point handled along the way: the name spelling on an older document did not match the passport
- Argentina is a Hague Convention member, so the Apostille route was the primary path
Outcome summary: both draft files and originals were delivered so accuracy could be checked before filing (processing time approx. 2–7 business days, subject to each agency's queue).
