I’d like to get my name in a Tabien Baan in prep for Thai Citizenship. Anyone done this for Blue Tabien Baan? What does the Amphur need to get this done? Thx.

TLDR : Answer Summary
This conversation centers around the process for foreigners to have their name included in a Tabien Baan (house registration book) in Thailand, as part of the pathway to Thai citizenship. Key points include the distinction between the yellow and blue Tabien Baan, with blue reserved for Thai nationals only. Many commenters note that requirements vary significantly by district and office, complicating the process. Necessary documents include a passport and visa, and possibly translations of credentials. Some participants shared experiences of obtaining a "Pink ID Card" as part of the registration process, while highlighting the bureaucratic challenges faced. It was also noted that additional points may be rewarded for being registered in a Tabien Baan during the citizenship application.

If you live outside Bangkok, it's a good idea to get your yellow housebook at a friend's house in Bangkok. I tried to get citizenship in Khon Kaen but too hard. The process was much easier in Bangkok, however I had to get my birth certificate legalised then translated then verified. This was as for the citizenship process you need your parent's names on the yellow book. Also needed my parent's passport copies. You'll also need to choose a Thai name at the district office when starting the process of naturalisation, but you can keep your original name if you want.

I think you can only get your name in a blue tabien baan after you get citizenship
I don’t think this is accurate. The Thai citizenship explicitly awards points for being in a Tabien Baan. And it’s suggested you ask a Thai friend to be put in theirs for points.
It’s housing registration - people register in that book to say that’s their official address. Tenants are in Tabien Baans all the time.
Easy process…I went to the Amphur provided a copy of my passport and visa, filled out some paperwork, took a picture, met the district chief, it took 2 weeks, then I received my Pink ID Card for the cost of I think 100THB…I also had to get some paperwork translated
that’s what I did I was added as a tenant on a residence for the tambien and received a pink card…easy process just took about 2 weeks if I remember correctly
, was that before Covid? As I am now 54 weeks still waiting. As said previous all districts and sub-districts are different. I am just unfortunate for the province I am in.
you're correct it is the yellow book...they issued the Yellow book at the Ampur to go to me and the blue book to stay with the owner... easy process took 2 weeks in the pre-covid world
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this refers to the owner of the Tabien Baan - not the tenants or people listed in the Tabien Baan.
A foreigner condo owner is issued a yellow Tabien Baan. But a Thai property owner is issued a Blue Tabien Baan. This is a different thing than being listed on a Tabien Baan as a tenant.
Tessaban refers to the Tambon office (sub district). The house book is being issued by the Amphur office (district). Thais get a blue book, foreigners get a yellow book. The process to get a yellow book varies widely from Amphur to Amphur, very easy to very difficult. Usually they want to ascertain whether you have any intention to stay long time in Thailand, they don’t want to issue yellow books to people who disappear after 2 or 3 years.
usually the amphur handles this as far as I know. But there's different names for the same thing in different parts of Thailand 😵💫

Going through process at moment. Best bet is go to Tessaban and ask as it's a complete mare. You might have various tessabans within you're area dealing with different sub districts, and I would put money on it that they're not doing the same as each other, seriously.
