First off, it's not th poo yai ban that issues the yellow book, it's the Amphur Office.  To answer your query, just get a Cert. of Residence from Imm, as I've used that in the past, before having a yellow book.

Ihave the cert and can get another with 2 dyas travel 200 + overtime "rea monte" The Ampur demand Poo Yai Ban and min 2-6 winesses, their goal to deter I think

As per Khun LA... 

... All you need is 

 

- Certificate of Residence (from Immigration)....  or

- Affirmation of Address (from your Embassy - if they do it).

 

There is no need for a Yellow House Book, but you may find that making the effort now to go through the process to obtain a Yellow House Book can have advantages in the future, in the way of making similar endeavours easier (such as renewing driving license etc (If that specific DLT accepts the YellowHouseBook / Pink ID combo).

 

On the Yellow Book... there is often resistance as its a lot of paper work for the Amphur Office Staff - but realistically, if you want one, push for one - legally they cannot say no... So be a little more firm with them.

 

The two Thai witnesses part is true (easy if you have Thai friends etc) - We only took 1 (Mother in Law) and they were happy with that, but experiences across the forum really vary on this).

IF you have the Cert (Certificate of Residence) from Immigration, then all you need to do is go down to the local DLT with your Wife (and Blue Book) and Your Passport (as ID) and you can place the car in your name - its fairly quick process (you will need to pay some transfer tax).

 

As far as your other comment - its difficult to understand.. 

 

As far as the Yellow Book - I agree, their goal initially is to deter, as its a lot of paperwork for the Amphur Officer.

Yellow Book Paper Work: 

 

1) Embassy Notarised of Copy of Your Passport

1.1) Official Translation of Embassy Notarised Copy of Your Passport

1.1.1) MFA Verification of Official Translation of Embassy Notarised Copy of Your Passport

2) Your Passport (and Visa stamp - Pref Non-Immigrant Visa)

 

3) If married: Marriage certificate + Thai translation and legalisation (if married)

(being married makes it easier - some Amphur offices don't give yellow book unless married)

 

4) Original House Blue Book

5) House Owners ID (ID Card)

6) Proof of ownership: title deed (Chanote)

 

7) Two Thai Witnesses (can be friends / family) - With their Thai ID.

 

With all this: They may then book an appointment (careful, as they might book the appointment so far ahead and then claim the documents are out of date).

 

Ideally - if you really want the Yellow House Book - play the game and make it impossible to say no.

thanks Richard it s a long drive and overnight stop, to get D L they asked for letter from Immi 2 days then immigration wanted a written letter from DL, it is not a money or language issue, just remote loclas afraid of making error or no have come back later attittude .

At least more constructive than thse with avatars of murderous KGB scum

Yes I have tried 4-5 times in last 28 tears there is always one more doc and a flight Bangkok get embassy letter etc or as you say by time have all witnesses and diocs they are out of date , i've only a few years left and spending days pursuing a Yellow Book is a low priority as I need time for medical appointments and family life.

Book and Appointment at Amphur Office 1st.

Get a full list of their requirements (have them sign and date that list).

 

Then go and get all the required documentation needed (that may take a lot of faffing about - which for many is why they don't bother).

 

Ultimately - only you can decide if its worth it. Given the hassles you keep encountering, it might simply be easier to get the Certificate of Residence each time you need it.

 

 

For me: the Amphur office put up some resistance, even stated my Visa was invalid etc.

We pushed, got and appointment - which they gave us 3 months away !!!... (I guess hoping we'd give up).

Come appointment time, I had all the documentation.. (which as I live in BKK was relatively easy to come by but with a bit of legwork - to Embassy and MFA).

The Amphur officer at first reluctant, but lightened up -  the paper work took her over an hour (nearly two perhaps)...    Getting the pink ID was an additional 15 mins at the same office.

 

Ultimately - it just depends if the leg work of getting this 'one' document (Yellow Book) will save you time and effort down the line if needing repeated CoR's etc... or opening Bank accounts etc - only you can decide if its worth while.
