Q1125. Do I need to submit original hard copies of all three previous name-change certificates if I changed my name multiple times?

Answered by NYC Visa & Translation

You should document all three name changes, but whether every original must be submitted or only presented for inspection depends on the Royal Thai Police’s current instructions. Prepare a clear chain linking your birth or earlier name to the name on your current passport and identification documents. Keep legible copies of each certificate and check that dates, identity numbers, and English spellings remain consistent across the application. Ask the Police Clearance Service Centre whether certified copies are acceptable, especially for overseas or representative submissions. Do not courier irreplaceable originals without confirming their necessity and return arrangements. Translation requirements should also be checked with the destination authority.
