I need to change an error on my child's birth certificate. Namely my partners details. Need to change Mrs to Miss, as she has never married. What documents do I need to take to the ampur?

This is causing issues for my child's passport application, which I am struggling to find a reason why, as I will be giving British citizenship.

The embassy are saying that I either need the divorce papers (impossible of course), or get all the documents changed, which will include the translation and official stamp from the ministry of foreign affairs. Not a big deal but a pain in the arse.

About the only thing you can do is go back to the Amphoe and have the birth certificate corrected.

It seems odd that the Amphoe would of made such a mistake though. Most of the info for the birth certificate is generated from the computerized family registry.

AFAIK a Thai birth certificate can never be changed - only amended with additional paperwork.

Forgot to mention the mother is Cambodian

And is the birth certificate from Cambodia? If not what was birth certificate data source and is that Miss or Mrs?

Birth certificate is thai

Don't think there is any data source? ????

The misses says the man made a mistake?????

We have spoken to the ampur, and there advise is that we get the family docs from Cambodia, bring them here, go to the Cambodian Embassy, get a translated officially stamped doc. Then we can get it changed.

Since 1 July 2006, the parents do not need to be married for a father to be able to transmit British citizenship, but he should be named on the birth certificate. If unmarried, and the father is not so named, it may be necessary for him to undergo a DNA test to determine paternity. Additionally, if the parents are unmarried and the mother is still married to another man, it is the mother’s husband who will be considered to be the father for the purposes of determining the child’s qualification for British nationality, unless of course, the mother can transmit it in her own right.

What did she use for proof? Normally an ID card or passport would be required and if that is wrong it will have to be changed first.
