Canada would not recognize a proxy marriage in Laos as it is not the norm. To marry in Laos, you should read the following information"
The Lao Government administrative fees to process marriage paperwork are subject to change without notice; however, prior to paying any fee higher than those stated below, Americans should check with the U.S. Embassy. The Embassy will call the appropriate Lao Government officials to confirm the amount of the fee. A number of U.S. citizens have been asked to pay amounts much larger than the official fees. The Embassy discourages payment of such fees. Payment of "unofficial" fees sets a bad precedent for others and almost guarantees requests for additional payments. The Embassy urges U.S. citizens in the process of marriage to a Lao citizen to report any requests for fees over those mentioned herein to the U.S. Embassy.
The Lao decree governing marriage of Lao citizens to foreigners requires that the parties to the marriage present the following documents to the provincial administrator, or in Vientiane, to the administrator of the Vientiane Prefecture:
1. Request to marry ("to form a new family") approved by the chief of the village (the local administrative authority) of residence of the Lao citizen;
2. Affidavit of residence for both parties;
3. Curriculum Vitae for both parties;
4. Identification card, passport, or other proof of identity for both parties;
5. Medical examination from country of residence for both parties;
6. Affidavit of martial status for both parties (for American to be notarized at the U.S. Embassy);
7. Police record from place of residence for both parties;
8. Three photographs of each party;
9. Affidavit by both parties guaranteeing the return of the spouse to Lao citizen spouse;
10. Proof of foreigner's employment and ability to support Lao citizen spouse;
11. Approval by the Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs of affidavit of marital status notarized at U.S. Embassy --2,500 kip; and
12. Payment of 30.000 kip fee to the provincial administrator.
