Documents
Note: Bangkok is divided into 36 districts. Marriage, birth and adoption certificates must be requested from the district office that recorded the original certificate. Districts in Bangkok are listed below under Visa Services.
Birth Certificates
Available. The issuance of birth certificates in Thailand began in Bangkok in 1917. Records of birth are often lacking for people born in Bangkok before World War II and for those born in other areas of the country up until the 1970s. Birth Certificates are issued by "Amphur," (geographic subdivision roughly equivalent to a county in the U.S.) district authorities having jurisdiction over the place of birth. There may be a fee for this service.
A Thai citizen older than 15 and born in Thailand, whose birth was not registered, must present in its stead a household registration, together with a Thai national identity card ("bat prachachon"), and may also be required to submit additional proof of the claimed relationship.
Adoption Certificates
Available. Certificates are issued by the Nai Amphur of the district of registration. The adoptive parents, accompanied by two witnesses, must legally register the adoption with the registrar of the Amphur.
Marriage and Divorce Certificates
Available. These are issued by the "Amphur" district authorities where the marriage or divorce took place. Thai diplomatic missions issue consular marriage and divorce decrees. The validity of these decrees depends on local law in the jurisdiction in which the marriage or divorce occurs. Most jurisdictions in the United States do not recognize these decrees as valid.
Police Records
Available. Police certificates are obtainable from:
Section 3, Sub-Division 2. General Staff Division
Special Branch
Royal Thai Police Department
Rama I Road
Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330
Residents of Thailand requesting a Thai police certificate will need to present two recent photographs (2 inch x 2 inch), the original and a copy of his/her passport, identification card, household registration, name change certificate (if any), marriage and divorce certificate (if any). Thai males aged 17-45 must also present military record or proof of exemption from military service.
Non-residents should send their requests to the Royal Thai Police Department at the above address with the required documents and a fingerprint taken by a police authority at their place of residence.
Normal processing time is two to three weeks. There is no processing fee.
Prison Records
Available, from the First Section, Second Division, Scientific Branch, Police Department, Bangkok or the Penitentiary Department, Bangkok.
Military Records
Unavailable.
Special Clearance and Issuance Procedures
