Thai ID card for daughter

[digbeth]

not my own personal experience, but recently heard from an acquaintance that after having his half Thai daughter spent the majority of her primary and high school 'back home' and now the daughter has moved back to Thailand and now has some difficulties due to not having Thai ID card

 

The problem is that although the daughter has Thai passport obtained from overseas consulate, she hasn't got a Thai ID card, and problems do come up when applying for things from jobs to banks, she does have a Thai ID number on her passport, presumably she left Thailand before being of age that requires her to obtain a Thai ID then, having never had a physical ID card before makes things complicated

 

he is estranged from the birth mother, I didn't press on to ask what step he has tried, but how difficult would it be to get a Thai Id card in this situation without the need to contact the birth mother, presumably the daughter must have been recorded on the house register somewhere with her mother when she was born, and he managed to take his daughter overseas so they must have obtained a permission from the mother back then. 

Would in this case they need to obtain the testimony/verification of the local village head that she is indeed of the family somehow or can the daughter be moved in to a new tabien baan without having an ID card first?

what would be required if she needs to be verified at the Amphur in order to obtain a new card, DNA test? or just the word of local people? how successful would he be in organizing this without the mother's cooperation 

 

Overseas consulate can issue Thai ID card but only for those that has obtained one before, in this case she hasn't had one originally so they said she must come to Thailand where they can verify her properly at the Amphur

 

So now she is in a weird situation where she has Thai Passport with Thai ID card number but cannot get a Thai ID card

Go to any Amphur - that birth ID number will identify where she was initially registered.

Then go there and they'll help her sort this out.

Mentioned to the wife & she says can't get unless you have house book even though you proved address when applying for Passport & you also need Birth Cert

I think the missing link here are the birth certificate, you need a birth certificate in order to obtain a Thai id card. With a b.cert sufficient to prove her thai nationality.

Her Thai ID-number will be on the Brith Certificate and in the House Book (blue), where she is originally registered – probably the Amphur can help.

Normally the Thai ID-number is listed in the Thai Passport efter the birth date, under "Personal No.", and also appear in the computer readable bar at bottom of page 2 (laminated page with photo).
