vinny Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 How to register a birth: Child’s Passport ApplicationYou may wish to apply for a first passport for your child at the same time as you apply to register their birth. Please note that children can no longer be added to the passport of the parent; they must hold separate passports. The fee for a child’s passport (valid for five years) is Baht 4,180. Please complete a C2 passport application form in full and return it to us with payment and evidence of the child’s British nationality ie either a British birth certificate or full documentation as for a birth certificate (as listed above). We require two recent, identical photographs, one of which must be countersigned. Please read carefully the photo specifications attached or view the sample of the photo. Birth registration/passport applications may be made in person or by post (straight forward applications only). Consular Section is open to the public Monday to Thursday 08.00 – 11.00 and 13.00 – 15.30 and Friday 08.00 – 12.00. We aim to process birth registrations within 5 working days and passports within 10 working days. Registering a birth overseas: How much does it cost?The cost of registration, whether in London or at the Consulate abroad is £92.00 and each certificate requested is £59.00 e.g. one certificate costs £92.00 + £59.00 = £151.00; two certificates would cost £210.00 etc. You can pay by postal order or bank draft made payable to "The FCO". We no longer accept personal cheques. If you would like more than one copy of the certificate each additional certificate will cost £59.00. The fees are closely regulated by parliament and cover the cost of administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exchange rate around 50bt/£ now is a good time to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac.wheeler Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I am about to register the birth of my Son and apply for a passport at the same time, I may have a problem though. I do not have my own birth certificate, I have never had a birth certificate as I was adopted. I do have an adoption certificate, I am guessing this will suffice?

torrenova Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Email them. I had a couple of non regular enquiries to make and they were most helpful. I was very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
