Affirmation of Freedom to Marry at the British Embassy
In UK the Government records office has details of every marriage and civil partnership since 1837 so even if marriages are registered locally the basic details are recorded and stored centrally. I am surprised that the US doesn’t have something similar.There are also census records which will show people’s marital status. I have no idea what checks the embassy actually makes before issuing the document Anyway I found the whole process to be very smooth and I have no complaints as I was able to get married. -

Affirmation of Freedom to Marry at the British Embassy
I understand what the INTENDED purpose is. But many countries (U.S., Canada, and I thought UK) do not have marriage at a federal level -- you get married at a state or local jurisdiction. So what has been happening for years is citizens go to the Embassy, pay $50, and have notarized a statement that "I, John Smith, am free to marry." And the document says in big letters "The U.S. Embassy does not guarantee the truthfulness of this statement" or something. Clearly this doesn't serve anyone's interests except possible the liar who ISN'T legally free to marry Thailand should go with marriage license system, where the bride and groom sign a Thai Government-produced legal document in front of a Thai officer that says this. No sending people off to other locations, no worthless statements at extra cost, and the Thais have a legal document they themselves created to better prosecute a bigamist. Most other countries have this and it works well. -
