Registering The Offspring

[buksida]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes anyway:

I am married to a Thai and have a four month old son. He has been included on the "tabien bahn" and now has his Thai birth certificate. I have been told be a couple of people that I now have to go to the local amphur office and register myself there as his father or I have no legal rights for my child. Apparently this is true for Thais also and the birth certificate is not a legally binding document.

Is this true, has anyone done this and what documents to I need ???

Thanks in advance for your help.

You should be named on the "tabien bahn" as the father.

Thanks for the reply, would that also apply if the tabian bahn is for her parents house in nakon nowhere as we're not allowed to have one ourselves as foriegners?

Yes. You can be listed as father of a child in the blue home register book, along with the child.
