Real Thai

Just applied for passports for my 2 kidz last week. They both have middle name on their Thai ID. I asked the same question at the Thai passport office. Their answer was…The authorities follow the names on the Thai ID, which is leading they explained to me.

Hi Capin, I’m very familiar in applying a birth certificate when father or mother has the Thai Nationality. I was born in Indonesia and lived all my life in the Netherlands. My mum is Thai and I applied for a thai birth certificate for myself and all my brothers and sisters. We are in the age of 60-72 when we applied. Last year my children (age 28 and 32) applied and got their Thai ID and passport since I got the Thai Nationality. The procedure is the same for all countries. I will explain to you step by step how I did it. 1. There is an application form on the website of the Thai Embassy you need to fill out. 2. You need to have the original (American birth certificate) of your child. You don’t need to know the official weight or birthtime of your child from the hospital. Just fill in a logical weight and or time. 3. Marriage certificate of you and your wife. 4. Your passport. 5. The Thai ID of your wife. 6. Tabien baan where your wife is registered. 7. Now you need to legalize nr 2, 3, 4 first to have the Thai Embassy accept these docs as being legitimate. 8. After legalizing these documents, you just make an appointment with the Thai Embassy and bring in the application form and all the other mentioned docs. 9. They will send all docs to Bangkok and after maybe 6 weeks they have the Thai Birthcertificate for your child. 10. Depending on the age of your child they will issue Thai ID card for him. If not, you have to go to the Amphoe where your wife has her Tabien Baan from. Same thing for his passport… If you have any questions, let me know
