Thai wife having a baby soon. Bangkok hospital wants my USA passport translated to Thai and they want my USA passport authenticated by the USA embassy. 
 

no problem but the nurse states I have to get the translation papers of my USA passport  from English to Thai authenticated by the USA embassy as well as my USA passport . 
 

makes no sense to me. Any USA dads in last 12 months dealt with this issue of getting a birth certificate for a baby in Bangkok. 
 

if yes in Bangkok and yes in last 12 months and yes USA father and Thai mother please help me understand what I need the USA embassy to do. I have an appointment with the USA embassy next week. 
 

also if you have a translation company you recommend in Bangkok please share their information and costs. 
 

thank you. Anyone have any nasty things to say about having a baby please move on and refrain from sharing your negative opinions.

You've slightly misunderstood. The Embassy authenticates a copy of your passport. You get the copy translated and authenticated at the MFA. There are translations services at the MFA and around BKK who can handle it for you and mail the official translation to you. Be sure to tell the translator that the translation must match that on your marriage certificate, if it exists there.
