jackyseymour Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I know this topic's been covered a thousand times, but have done a search and keep coming up with the list of documents needed by the farang part of the couple. I know the Thai National has to have their ID card, but read something somewhere about the Tabien Baan. Can this be a copy? Partner's on family's Tabien Baan a lonnng way away. Thankyou for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedi Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I know the Thai National has to have their ID card, but read something somewhere about the Tabien Baan. Can this be a copy? Partner's on family's Tabien Baan a lonnng way away. Thankyou for your help Each and every Thai's name is listed in a Tabien Ban. This may be the one of her parents. This is the one to bring along. To register the marriage later via your embassy in your country, she will need a certified copy of her birth certificate and an official paper which states, that she was not already married at the time of your marriage (i.e. single, widowed or divorced, whatever).

jackyseymour Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 http://www.dopa.go.th/English/servi/marry.htmIt appears to require the original Thanks Lopburi. Yes it appears to require the original, but have been told a copy will suffice, as a lot of Thais travel to other parts of the country and don't necessarily return to their family home town to marry? I would have thought that an originalThai ID card would suffice, without that, after all, they're not considered Thai and have no rights as a Thai citizen. Being able to actually take the family's house registration book, Tabien Baan, off the premises, so to speak, might not be pratical in a lot of circumstances surely? Anyone actually gone through this procedure recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 A copy may suffice, but you would need signed letters from both of her parents (or the holders of the book on which her name appears) stating why she cannot present the original. The Tabien Ban is a Thai persons most important document, without it they cannot do much. They cannot get new ID cards, passports, marry or anything. I'm getting married to my girl next month and we are going to register in Bangkok, she had to go get the book from her parents in Khon Kean. Make a plan to get hold of the book, it will save you tons of hassles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I would check with the District Office you intend to register in. In the last few years the ID card has become more important and often the Home Register is no longer required for normal activities. However her name needs to be changed in that document at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 ...I would have thought that an originalThai ID card would suffice, without that, after all, they're not considered Thai and have no rights as a Thai citizen... The ID card is proof of Thai nationality. The house registration is proof of registered residence. Two different things. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
