. Thai Authorities require both parents apply for their passports. I am in Australia so I must provide a document supplied by one of the embassies in Aus, which isn't very convenient now the Brisbane embassy is closed.

if they are living in Thailand, and she is in Thailand, she can get their passports for them. That would be much easier, and take just a few hours.
