My brother and his Thai wife of 13 years live in England. She wants to change her name on her Thai Passport. She has been told that firstly she need to change her name on her Thai ID Card. Is this correct.

What documents will she need to show in order to get her name changed at her Ampur?

Does she need to get her Marriage Certificate stamped at the FCO in the UK or at the MFA in Bangkok?

By the way, she also has a UK Passport in her married name.

My wife of 37 years had the same problem yeasr ago and she changed the name on her passport without changing her ID card. But recently because we have purchased land and a house in Thailand she has had her passport, Id card and blue book changed to the same name.

The visa/passport office at the Thai Embassy in London were very helpful, I suggest that she contacts them direct for details of what she needs to bring (I think it is better to attend in person) including photos and copies. She would be wise to speak to them inThai when she phones them. My wife was told off when she spoke english!

Thanks for that, by the way, what is a blue book?

Home Register or census book that lists residents at a house. For Thai it is blue color.
