ORIGINAL POSTER
Just in the process of getting a house yellow book + Thai ID card from the govt. office in Bang Chak. They already gave me a list of things needed but I just wanted to ensure I've got all the things correct the first time to avoid wasting more time with this, as the gf also has to take a day off work for it.

Anyone did the same process? Below is the list of docs (some a little unsure about)

1. Extract from the population registry from my home country, showing my parents names, translated in Thai and certified by the MFA Thailand.

2. Certified copy of my passport from the Finnish Embassy translated into Thai. This is already certified by the MFA of Finland on the stamp. Does this further need to be certified by the MFA of Thailand?

3. Photos of myself in the condo

4. Work permit

Anything to watch out for in the MFA? the translation agency said they'd get the stamp for 1500 baht per set of documents. Not sure if a ripoff or a good price for the service (trying to estimate the amount of hassle/time it takes in there?) the MFA website says its 400 baht per document.

My wife and I went, first done in Udon and we had to have a neighbor sign to say she knew me. Then it was passport translated, Thai marriage cert, her blue ID and house book. After we had moved the local Amphur just issued a new set with the new address no paperwork required. I have also heard different offices have different requirements. A few years back it could not be done until after 3pm when they changed the software over but I hear that's changed now.

Yes at 3pm they changed over from the Thai Blue ID cards. Of course have one of each on different computers would have been easier 😂

Mine had to be done after 3pm...didn't know the reason why.. that was last year.

Each and every Amphur seems to require a different set of documents. Apparently I live in a very easy going Amphur (Sansai, Chiang Mai) all I needed was my PP holding a valid visa, Cert. Of Res., my gorgeous facepics and a document filled out by my partner who holds the blue book. That's it. Done in 2 days.

Ok now talking with the GF again and it seems to be a bit lost in translation. Apparently only private certified translations are enough with certified passport copy from the embassy. I will let you know how it goes.

I did my own passport translation and certified myself, which was accepted by my Amphur. I had to have an interview though to make sure I was a 'fit and proper person' to get a YB

Most of the Amphoes seem to ask for different things to comply...mine asked for my full birth certificate translated into Thai.. I got the translation done by a local lawyer and he was allowed to authorise it.. so no need for it to go to MFA....but as I say a lot of differences between amphoes

Mark only telling how it is in my country...yes population registry can mean birth certificate in a lot of countries... sorry just a slight error on my part...I'm sure the op will get what he needs to achieve his I'd and yellow book status he was 90% there :-)

@Ken ******
pretty sure that's not the same thing. Electoral register is only for residents and only for those over 18. It also doesn't prove nationality or provide birth details. Many countries have a central registry, particularly where they issue national id cards

Sorry :-( a different name in the uk....population registry would be electoral register...sorry again...

that's what that population registry extract from his home country is :O I dunno who did the translation from thai but they want his birth certificate translated into thai and certified by the MFA as an accurate translation.
