My Thai fiancé (beneficiary) has changed her first name four times as a child and her Family name once as a teenager (to her mother maiden name), she has the name change certificates from when she was a child. But the name change certificate for her Family name change when she was 19 has been lost, and when she tried to get a copy of it from the Thailand government office, they said that they gave her the original document and they do not have a copy. She has her ID and Passport which shows her current name after it was changed at the age 19 (she is now 30 years old).
Here is an example of her name change history:
Born - First name 1, Family name 1(has birth certificate)
Age 5 -First name 2, Family name 1(has name change document certificate)
Age 9 - First name 3, Family name 1(has name change document certificate)
Age 14 - First name 4, Family name 2(has name change document certificate)
Age 19 - First name 5, Family name 2(does NOT have name change document certificate, because it was lost)
So here is my question:
1.Because she does not have the most recent name change Certificate will this cause a problem when applying for the K1?
2.Or is there another document or Certificate she can use instead of the Name Change certificate to show that she legally changed her name and it is true name?
3.Or can we just file the K1 and provide all the name changes that have occurred, along with the certificates that we do have and her ID and Passport?
4.Or is there a specific government agency in Thailand that can help her get a certificate to show that is her legal name?
