slackbaba Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hi How can my Thai girlfriend obtain an "original copy" of her birth certificate ? Her mother lost her original. Anyidea what sort of ID might be needed? She has a passport, DRLIC and present on Tabien Bahn. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyIdea Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) The rule is that she needs a police report but it is possible that amphur will do it also without one She needs to go to the same Amphur where she was born with her ID card (probably not tabien baan but bring it anywhere to be on the safe side) and show police report and request a new birth certificate. It is issued to her totally free of charge Any amphur could do it of course but the rule is that it should be the one where the original is kept (where she was born) This is assuming that she is over 20 years old and doesn't need guardian's permission. If she's below 20, then she can't do it, the guardian must do it Edited August 10, 2011 by MikeyIdea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slackbaba Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Perhaps she can try it w/ a passport initially or we can wait until she needs a police report for the visa and kill two birds with one stone. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyIdea Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 It is a law that all Thai citizens above the age of 7 must have an ID card She must carry either police report that ID card is lost or the actual ID card at all times actually No work arounds recommended, get a new ID card done, dirt cheap and quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 OP doesn't say she doesn't have her ID card, just not her original birth certificate. We didn't need a police report to get DH birth certificate when we applied for his initial visa but that was years ago, so policy may have changed.

slackbaba Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hi and thanks - yes, of course she has an ID card. I don't mean to be flippant - but hey now. Thanks - police report seems quite over the top but why not TiT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
