TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks information about getting their English passport translated into Thai and certified for the purpose of adding their name to their wife's house. Suggestions from the community include checking local municipality contacts for translation services and noting that a blue house book, which requires permanent residency, is different from the yellow house book, which might not require passport translation.

I have a yellow house book with my name in and didn’t need to translate my passport. Blue house book requires permanent residence which takes years

You can't get your name in a blue book unless you have PR.

I did it July 2025. There is no Yellow Book other than you being a tenant for the Blue Book (Thai nationals). Two separate documents.

Even though I own the condo, my Thai wife and our daughter are in the Blue Book. My Yellow book is like I am their tenant.

My Thai wife had to sign me in (to get the Yellow Book).
