Q1175. Do I need to submit original hard copies of all name-change certificates if I changed my name four times?

Answered by NYC Visa & Translation

You should document all four name changes, but whether every original must be presented or submitted depends on the Royal Thai Police’s current application requirements. Assemble a chronological chain linking your birth or earliest recorded name to the name on your current passport and identification. Include relevant name-change records and any marriage or divorce documents that account for a change. Ask the Police Clearance Service Center whether originals are inspected and returned, whether signed copies suffice, and what a representative must provide. Do not surrender irreplaceable originals without clear instructions and a receipt. For overseas use, confirm which supporting records need translation and keep English spellings consistent throughout the identity chain.
