thanks both,
The amount of paperwork and different people involved brought me back to when we added my daughter to the family book in the local amphoe office, that was a village event that with the village headman needing a sign off at some point if I remember.
That process was very strict and not getting everything in line there was a pain that I'm trying desprately to avoid, my new pain is the PSAS needs my 4yr's old ID card number, which she techincally hasnt been given yet, so I'm told by Thai friends to get her birth certificate out, dunno if thats gonna work.
