ucomservices Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 My elder son is born in April 1994 in Phayao and is a Thai Naional. Can you advice me how to go about to make his Thai ID Card. At what age is the Thai Id Card made for Thai Nationals ? What documents are required at the time of making the Id Card ? Whose presence is required at the time of making the ID Card i.e. Mother,Father or Both or None ? How long does the process take ? What Government Office is the ID card made in ? Does any money have to be spent for making the ID Card ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaethon Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm pretty sure the OP means obtaining an ID by legal channels, making your own is almost always frowned upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Identification CardFiling for an Identification Card for the first time Procedures Upon reaching 15 years of age a person of Thai nationality is required to file for an Identification Card. Failure to file for the Card within 60 days will result in a fine of 500 baht. The applicant is required to file for the Identification Card at the local District Office where the House Registration Certificate is registered. No service fee is required. Required Documents The House Registration Certificate. The applicant is required to submit other official documents, e.g. Birth Certificate or Testimonials, to the Registrar as evidence to prove that the person filing a request for an Identification Card is the same person whose name is registered on the House Registration Certificate. If the applicant filing for an Identification Card is an alien, he or she is required to submit Alien Registration Cards of the father and mother at the District Office. If the person is unable to provide the documents mentioned in clause 2 at the District Office upon filing for an Identification card, he or she is required to bring the house owner or a trustworthy individual to testify. Procedures Upon filing the request, if documents are accurate, the District Officer will take a photograph and issue a Temporary Card (Yellow Card) to the applicant. The Temporary Card will be valid for 30 days. Upon expiration of the Temporary Card, the applicant is required to contact the District Office for a permanent Identification Card.

The applicant is required to write and sign on the back of Temporary Card as follows (in Thai): "I hereby authorize (name of the authorized person, and relationship to the card-holder), to be my authorized representative to obtain my Identification Card ". Special Services If the applicant requests the Identification Card to be delivered by mail, he or she is required to provide two envelopes with stamps affixed to them to the District Officer. One envelope is to be addressed to the applicant and one to the District Office for returning the Temporary Card (Yellow Card). If the applicant urgently needs an Identification Card, he or she is required to contact the Bureau of Registration Administration, located at Nakornsawan Rd., Wang Chaiya, Nanglerng Sub-district, Dusit District, Bangkok.

lopburi3 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 You normally get the ID card at your District Office - not in a supermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner you get it the better. He will be asked for it a lot more now that is old enought to have one. Even the school may ask for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucomservices Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 I checked from the Thai Embassy over here and they said that it the date for the age for making the card is defined but till what age is not defined. But still it is better that the sooner you get it made the better as getting it made sooner would require less paperwork and hassels. So, Folks I guess there is not a set age for making the Id card, so I will be maiking it next year when we go to Thailand. Bye, Folks and thanks.

ubonjoe Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 This posted link says 15 years old and you have 60 days or pay a 500 baht fine. It is from the goverment office that handles ID cards. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/redirect.php...servi%2Fbp2.htm I would not consider what a person at an embassy says to be definitive.
