You don't mention the age of the child.. which could have a bearing on matters.. depending on what country/s you will be visiting whilst she's in your care.. but as mentioned elsewhere a parental letter of authority is essential.. and in addition to copies of the parent's passports.. take copies of any national ID cards.. and a copy of the child's birth certificate naming said parents!

If you have a yellow book then they shouldn't need the copy of your rental agreement.. i thought the latter was only needed if you couldn't produce a blue/yellow book.. eg. you only had a CoR from immigration to confirm address.. my yellow book has always been sufficient and never had to produce rental agreement (or CoR) at time of my initial DL application or the subsequent (and fairly recent) renewal at the LTO in CM.. but then different offices may have different stipulations.. after all TiT 😉

@Jim *******

So you have a KR2 already.. so you are good to go.. if you can resolve the bank account issue and get your funds deposited.. you wouldn't have to leave Thailand to get the initial 90-day non-o.. have you approached your wife's bank to ask them if they'll let you open an account.. that's your best bet in the current climate.. if you show them completed paper work for your application they may see that you are serious about living here.. worth a shot huh 😉

@Greg **********

I never once mentioned an O/A visa of any description.. my remarks relate solely to a non-o visa based on marriage.. which is the visa the OA is looking to obtain.. my references to OA are in the context of 'Original Author' of the post.. and my comments are factual in relation to applying for a non-o 90-day married visa or extension of stay based on that visa.. when the application is being made in country.. having jumped through all the relevant hoops the OA is facing myself 😉

People are assuming the marriage was solemnized in the USA.. but the OA does not give any information to suggest that is the case.. if married in Thailand then the marriage should already be registered with the Amphur.. and the OA should already possess a Kor Ror 2 to certify this.. if it was an overseas marriage then a copy of the marriage certificate will need to be authenticated (certified) by the Embassy (or Consulate) of the country where the marriage took place.. which will often be domiciled in Bangkok.. and a translated copy (into Thai) will also be needed for certification by the MoFA in Thailand.. once this has been done then this documentation can be presented to the local Amphur to register the marriage.. and they will issue a KR22 (rather than a KR2) certificate to confirm this.. which is needed to support a non-o married visa application at an immigration office in Thailand.. whether it be the initial 90-day non-o application or the extension of stay that follows it.. given the time horizons involved it is advisable to engage an agent to attend to the translation and MoFA certification.. since it could take them 2-3 weeks to get this done and will probably take longer if you are trying to do it yourself.. the OA should factor this into their calculations 👍

@Donald *********

You need to provide passport and tm30 to immigration at time of requesting CoR 👍

@Donald *********

The yellow book replaces the need for a CoR.. all banks seek proof of address to open an account.. and if you don't have a blue / yellow book.. then they will want to see a CoR issued by Immigration.

@Brandon ***********

Central Festival cannot provide a CoR.. you have to go to the main office near the airport.

If you were married overseas.. meaning not in Thailand.. then the first step is to get a copy of the original marriage certificate certified by the Embassy (or sometimes it's a service performed by the Consulate) of the country where your marriage took place.. for most people that's likely to be their home country.. so you may be able to do this before you leave for Thailand.. however, you could have had a vacation style wedding of course, which would need to involve a foreign Embassy in the process.. but if you are already in Thailand then things are slightly different.. first step, your overseas marriage certificate has to be authenticated by the relevant country Embassy in Bangkok before you can move on to the second step.. which is getting a copy of the original (now already Embassy certified) marriage certificate translated into Thai and getting the translated copy certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (also in Bangkok) .. only then will you have the correct documents to be able to register your marriage at your local Amphur in Thailand.. which is necessary to obtain a Kor Ror 22 (another certificate) from them.. which is a document you will need to support your non-o married visa application at Immigration.. given the complexities and inconvenience involved in this process I'd say it's probably best to engage an agent who knows the ropes and can expedite this for you.. we are in CM and didn't want to waste our time and energy traveling to Bangkok in person.. so we found an agent that specialises in translation services that could do everything for us and produce the certified marriage documents.. this process took them around 2 weeks from start to finish and we agreed to attend the final document collection at the International Convention Center in CM to reduce the wait by a few days.. otherwise it would have been a 3-week wait.. the fee was just over 5,000 baht in total.. and they threw in a translated copy of my passport for good measure.. which wasn't needed by the Amphur to register the marriage but i guess it might come in useful later.. be aware that your Amphur may try to retain the original certified copies instead of simply taking copies of them for their records.. which is outrageous imo since you may need to use them elsewhere in the future.. and you won't want to have to repeat this exercise and incur further unnecessary expense.. i pushed back hard and told our Amphur they could only keep them if they gave me a legal undertaking to return them if i needed them.. or alternatively, agreed to pay an agent the necessary fee to produce another set for me.. and after deliberation and consultation with superiors they backed down and simply took copies which they had us certify as genuine copies!

Ps. It appears that you have already attended to the certification of the native marriage certificate.. therefore you are ready to move on to the translation and certification by the MoFA in Thailand.. though it may be worth checking if you can get this done at the Thai Embassy in the Netherlands.. so it's all done before you travel to Thailand.. however if you are already in country then a translation agent is your best option.

PPS. And note, the local Amphur and the Municipality are 2 different authorities within a district.. and are often housed in different buildings.. marriage registration is handled at the Amphur.. as was my Pink ID card application.. whereas Yellow books are the domain of the Municipality.. as is stuff like refuse collection and street lighting etc 😉

@George ********

Ps. You can print them from your phone at the small copy shop at the rear of the building.. next door to the tm30 office 👍
