Well that was interesting.

Front desk asked for a certified birth certificate so the wife demanded they find the person she spoke to yesterday. They found her and she quickly sorted that out.

Back on Friday to pick up book.

For some weird reason, they needed my sibling’s names.

OTOH they are 0700-1700 6 days a week with no break for lunch!

OMG. They are open at 7 AM and don’t break for lunch and are open Saturday.

This has to be a fake government office.

@Robert ****
that’s what the officer we spoke to today said. We will find out soon

Makes me wonder. If there isn’t a “house book” temple, there should be.

@Michael *******
ah. Good point. Will give it a shot. Though I will be surprised if Thai bureaucracy doesn’t create a way to require 16 more visits and 21,000 pieces of obscure paper.

@Judy ******
true. Unless whichever office and officer you’re dealing with insists it comes from the embassy or the document issuer. And the US embassy doesn’t do birth certificates. Anyway, latest word from the Nonthaburi office and officer we spoke to was “not needed” so hopefully the insane paperwork gods smile on me and align with that

@Michael *******
thanks. My wife called the office and (shocking!) got totally different rules. Sigh. I’ll prepare for all options.
