Yellow House Book ?

[Buriramlanguageservices]

Just a reminder that all translations; including passport, house book, birth and marriage certificates, can be done right here in Buriram. We can offer a same day service if needed. All documents are certified as true translations and have all been accepted by both British and Thai authorities.

You can scan copies to Buriramlanguageservices@gmail.com and then make arrangements for collection or we can meet up anywhere in Buriram at your convenience.

Translations can be made from English to Thai and from Thai to English.

Do you have a website?

Yes, we do have a website, but due to some hosting issues we are currently offline. A new website showing our full scope of services will be back online soon.

Gotlost,

Would it not be more ethical for you to attack us by PM? Also, when doing so please refer to US as US.

Anyway....if you would care to read the home page of this forum it says "serving the expatriate community". That is exactly what we are doing so no need for an invite. Technically we have one already.

The criteria for translations is for " translations to be on headed company paper and certified as a true copy". Under that criteria our translations are, have been and will be accepted.

So in the political correct terms the answer is NO you are not recognized by the MFA. Thank you for the answer.

Please allow us to translate.

We provided criteria under which are translations are accepted. Gotlost has used his own criteria to suggest that MFA will not accept our translations. Both on this forum and on another "national" forum he has been asked to provide details, of both a list that he talks about and information on a website that he has seen. So far he has not even provided a link, so we can only suggest that  he is only making an assumption.

Link Gotlost please.

First let me say I wish you the best with your service for the Brits as apparently the British Embassy Bangkok does accept your translation.  As for the MFA there are TWO major documents tall ALL foreigners that are married outside Thailand or have children born outside Thailand need to have translated. These documents must first be taken to the individuals embassy for certification then  that certification MUST go to an approved translator of the MFA for translation to Thai after this the documents are forward to the MFA and registered. You receive back the orignal and the Translated by the MFA withe their stamp and now you can go to your local amphur and have your foreign marriage register or children added to Thai BTB. I personally know of individuals and some are were on this forum that went to a service such as yours and were rejected by the MFA. To my knowledge there is only one service in lower Issan that is recognized for this service by the MFA and thats Isaan Lawyers.

The last time I got married, I used one of the numerous companies near to The British Embassy . It was a 'while you wait' service, took about 20 minutes and worked a treat and couldn't have been easier.

Add to that the US embassy, Danish Embassy and Belgium embassy to date.

Please add the link to the list of approved translators where issanlawyers appears. Thanks.

Agreed, there are many great translation services available around that area. Very convenient if you happen to be in Bangkok. If, however, you do not wish to be in Bangkok then those services are not as convenient.

A foreigner (without PR) can't be put into a Dark Blue House Book only a Thai can.

Why do you want to get in the house book ? If it's for immigration a rental contract shoukd be more then sufficient.

[dutchdog3000]

Hi iamike, its for the cert of residence so I can then apply for thai drivers licence,,,,,,

[Starman]

You don't need to be put on the book. You just need a copy signed by the landlady. You will also need a copy of her ID card and a rental agreement.

If she is free it might be an idea to take her with you to the police station too.

Thanks starman, im finally starting to understand wats required. sorry to be such a pain with all the questions but as a it is hard sometimes, all I can say is thank God for Buriram expats thanks

[jmcet]

A couple of quick questions... 1) would the yellow TB substitute for a cert of residence? 2) is it true if you use a copy of a Thai ID (or any other for that fact) or a TB you should draw two lines thru the copy? I have noticed this done to copies at the Ampur. Thanks in advance for any input an a great day to all...
