What type of certification is acceptable for a birth certificate when registering for a house book in Thailand?

It needs to legalised before you get a yellow house book and pink ID card

I'm a Brit married to a Thai and living in CM.. our local Amphur did not require a copy of my birth certificate to register my residence in the marital home.. but did require a translated (English into Thai) copy of our marriage certificate in order to issue a residence certificate.. which had to be certified by the embassy of the country of marriage and authenticated by the BOI.. we used an agent to expedite this process and thus avoid having to fly to Bangkok.. once i had that document i could present it to the office of the Municipality to obtain my 'yellow book'.. which has precluded the need to ever produce a residence certificate for any purpose thereafter.. every govt agency accepts the yellow book (or a copy alongside sight of the original) instead.. so no more visits to immigration for a residence certificate for the LTO etc.. and upon returning to the Amphur with it they were willing to issue me with a 'pink' ID card.. a laborious process but once completed it makes your life much easier.. especially when opening a bank account or applying for a driving license!

I don’t know if this will work for you, but I had to provide a certified embassy copy of my marriage certificate to my Thai wife, and as you found out the embassy would not certify a marriage certificate from the United States, but they did allow me to create an affidavit and the embassy did certify that and then we sent that affidavit to the ministry of foreign affairs and they put their stamp on it and those items were accepted in lieu of a certified embassy marriage certificate 

They try to make it hard to dissuade you from making extra work for them.

They actually have to write a long report so they try to avoid it

Why wouldn’t a copy of your vetted passport work..?

Birth certificates from the U.S. you get from local authorities. Counties and states normally.

They normally have ways to get them mailed.

Do you have someone in the U.S. they could mail it to and then rush ship it to Thailand?

If you truly need the birth certificate that is how you get it.

Does your birth certificate list the names and nationalities of your parents? In United Kingdom we have two forms; short form doesn’t and some Amphur’s won’t accept them.

To get yellow book, i showed them original and gave them signed copy for there records
