Thai Birth Notification

In cases where the embassy or consulate of Thailand is situated in the area where the child is born, parents or designated persons with a power of attorney can report the birth to the officer of the embassy or consulate of Thailand who is the civil registrar abroad. Once the consular officer receives the birth notification, proof of birth registration or birth certificate will be issued as evidence when the child returns to Thailand. In this case, the father or mother should bring the birth certificate issued by the consular officer with the child’s passport with an entry stamp to contact the registrar at the district or municipality where the child’s father or mother is listed in the household registration or domicile to request to add the child’s name to the household registration.

Notification Process 

For Thai people who travel to live abroad illegally to give birth, they can also report the birth of their child at the Thai embassy or Thai consulate in that country. However, if the locality where the child is born does not have a Thai embassy or consulate, the child’s parents can declare the birth according to the laws of the country where the child was born without notifying the staff of the embassy or consulate of Thailand in that country. When the child travels back to Thailand (by the passport of the country where the child was born), the father or mother must bring the proof of birth of the child issued under foreign law to be translated into Thai and have the Nationality and Legal Affairs Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs certify the translation.

The birth that has been translated into Thai and has been certified translation can then be used to contact the registrar at the district or municipality where the child’s father or mother is named in the household registration or domiciled to request to add the child’s name to the household registration. However, to prevent this potential inconvenience, it is recommended that parents come and register their births at the embassy to obtain a Thai birth certificate and Thai passport if possible.

The law does not set a birth notification period for those born overseas, and parents can report the birth of their child as appropriate without breaking the law. The person responsible for birth should apply for a birth certificate in person at the Royal Thai Embassy in Vienna and make an appointment in advance. For inquiries, they can call +431 478 3335 19 between 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM on business days.

Documents Needed

To register a child’s birth and obtain a birth certificate, several documents are required. Firstly, a birth certificate from the local authority in Austria, Slovenia, or Slovakia is needed. In addition, if the parents are married, their marriage certificate must be provided. However, if the parents are unmarried, a certificate of paternity for the child must be submitted, which needs to be certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Austria, Slovenia, or Slovakia.

Furthermore, valid Thai identity cards and passports of the parents are required. The parents must also provide a copy of their Thai house registration and a copy of their house registration in the country of residence. A consent letter from either the father or mother granting the child Thai nationality is also necessary.

Additionally, a completed birth registration form available at the Embassy, a name or surname change certificate (if applicable), and a legalization petition for birth certificate registration should be submitted. Moreover, two photographs of the child size 4 x 6 cm are required.
