Thai child Thai passport expired, living in Thailand on foreign visa

The house registration is not required if applying abroad. See: http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/services/1415/21482-e-Passport-Application-for-Thai-Nationals-Living-A.html

Above statement was not true on July 11th 2014. when we applied for new Thai passport for my 10 yrs old daughter in Osaka Thai Consulate.

The officer demanded that we produce Thai house papers and marriage certificate. That the passport is 2nd time renewed (re-issued) at the same place did not help.

Wife phoned in-laws and they faxed the papers to the Consulate within minutes and it was all fine.

This will be 2nd time my daughter (and wife too, same situation but different timing) would be travelling to Thai on virgin passports with no departure stamp. The immigration officer at Souvarnabhumi can probably see on the screen the passport was issued after last departure.
