Hi Samran,

I would rather she try and push to retrieve her old ID even though they have said there is no record of it in Bangkok.

Next time we head over to Thailand in April, I wonder if she should try to enter Thailand with her expired passport? I guess she would have to leave on it as well returning to Australia. Actually, would that be possible? I'm guessing no and would need to get it renewed. Be crap if there was any problems with renewing it.

Only reason, I'm thinking when we go to the Ampur in Bangkok maybe there would be benefit if it had an entry stamp in her old passport. That a stupid idea?

Sorry, just trying to cover all angles.

Cheers, YBB.

Thanks Lopburi,

Yes, it's a 13 digit number on the back of our marriage certificate.

Also, regarding the quote below, I was reading this forum and found this...

We were married in 1992 so "may" explain why they can't find her record.

No, the fellow at the Ampur in Ubon was told nothing about the old ID number or that the family couldn't find record of her in Bangkok. He was only told she had no ID.

Do you think it would be a better plan as I mentioned above NOT to jump-in and get this new ID in Ubon but first try what I mentioned above...

I am thinking on our next trip, we should take her old passport, her Mum, our Thai marrage certificate, her Mum's house register paper and the DNA test to the Ampur in Bangkok and see what can be done.

Just to be clear on the situation...

1. She would like her Thai ID to stay in Thailand without needing a visa in her Aussie passport.
          The Ampur (Bangkok) can not find any record of her.

2. She was given away at birth and her old ID was never under her correct family tree.
          She very much wants this corrected.

We were married in Thailand and I have the certificate in my hands but not sure of her ID # as her passport is in Thailand (will find out) but on the back of the certificate is a stamp and what looks like may be the ID number. Don't know if this is useful but we have also found an old bank book from the 90's before she came to Australia.

Thanks, YBB.

Excellent ....worry for nothing!

Will go ahead with the easier Ubon Ampur and then have her put on the house register in Bangkok. Later, have her name changed to match our Thai marriage certificate.

Although, I would have thought these documents be linked in the government database. ie: marriage certificate to her old ID. I guess not.

Cheers, YBB.

OK thanks Samran,

I'm guessing the Ubon way would be easier for my wife to get an ID but the problem I thought when I apply for a spouse visa, her name on our marriage certificate would be different.

Actually her Mum has put a different first name when applying for this new ID in Ubon too

Cheers, YBB.
