ktg718 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I am an American born to a Thai mother who lives in the states and am in the process of getting my Thai birth certificate. I am wondering what documents are needed from me to be added to my Thai uncles Blue Book. My uncle lives down south and I am wondering if I would need to be present at his local district office to be added to his blue book. I am currently living in Chiang Mai and if its possible to send him the required documents and avoid the trip, it would be ideal. Or is their a way I could do this at my local district office here in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomazbodner Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I just have a PR but to be added to blue book, 3 needed to be present at the land office - me, the owner of property and a witness - in person. Don't think you can avoid the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Why would you want to be added to a blue book for a house you dont live in ? Why wouldn't you be listed in the house you live in, the purpose of the blue book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glegolo Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Yes I have also wondered over this fact, why thais are so keen to be in a housebook where they do not live. Why do thai people dont care more about to get it right???? Maybe there is a purpose that I havent thought about? Or is it just plain stupid?? glegolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many landlords don't want to provide required documents (copy of ID card, house book) to foreigners, this is well known here. Not so well known is that many landlords also don't want to register a Thai tenant in their house book, but actually they are required by law to do this. OP probably wants to be able to obtain a Thai ID card, or get a driving license, or anything else which requires a confirmed address, so he needs to be registered in a house book.

You wouldn't be able to be in a blue book with no ID card. Open other end situation. I think it would be ID card from birth certificate then go in a blue book.

Can go to any district office (ampoe) and get a certified printout 1 hour ago, Peterw42 said: You wouldn't be able to be in a blue book with no ID card. Open other end situation. I think it would be ID card from birth certificate then go in a blue book. I think it's birth certificate, then blue book, then id card. And I'm pretty sure the first id card can only be issued at the district office of the blue book registration. Not sure about renewal/replacement cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why unless they have a permanent or at least a very long term address they prefer to stay registered in a family's book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALSO : My gf home (place of birth) is far from where we live. Her parents still live there and will never move. She keeps her name on that blue book, though she has moved more than once. When renewing her DL or ID card she is never questioned about why her blue book address is far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that is troublesom than for Thailand is if they like to keep track of their citizens and try to know real true numbers of i.e. how many people lives in Bangkok or Khon kaen or Pattaya and the villages up north or south.... Like we have it in falang countries I guess Thailand have wrapped themselfs into so difficult measures that it is impossible to know anything about their own population. glegolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
