DIY Divorce

A do-it-yourself uncontested divorce in Thailand is completed at the District Office (Amphur/Amphoe) when both spouses agree to end the marriage. You’ll sign Form B (the application) at the counter, the registrar will prepare Kor Ror 6 (the divorce register), and you usually receive Kor Ror 7 (the Divorce Certificate) the same day. Bring IDs, marriage papers, and a clear Thai–English Divorce Agreement so key terms (property, custody, support) can be recorded properly. No court hearing is required for a mutual-consent divorce, but both spouses must attend in person and sign in front of two witnesses.
