Does she want the police to track down her hand bag? Maybe but that I would doubt.

The district office where she obtains her ID requires a document from the police. Its not about returning stolen property.

Just stating how my went about the same thing!

She did not need any document from the police

This was two years back,if its different now I would not know!

The usual suspects trying to rubbish other peoples relationships just because these are the only kind of relationships they themselves have been involved in. Sad cnuts.

Don't involve me in that slur, Noodles. I've never married or dated a whore in my life and have never called my GF "My Thai Girlfriend" either. Or been asked to send money to some girl from a holiday romance or from a dating site. No sirrrreee bob, not me.

Gravy? Is this your MO?

Many years back I was very fond of a young Tart I met in a Bar!

I sent her about 50 notes when I got back home.
She was what she was but I had a great time with her,although I knew nothing would come of it.
It was a one off gift that I gladly gave her.

When I first came to Thailand I was a little green but not enough to become another falang ATM.


I personally don,t judge other peoples partner choice it their business.

My wife has never been in that trade,but if I had of met a girl in a Bar who I trusted and liked enough I would not have a problem having a relationship with her.

I have just offered this man some advice,and yes what she is telling him is strange if she is genuine.
As I said hope he can work around it!

Please explain what you mean!

My wife lost her I.D two years ago,I give out some advice based on what she done to replace it.

There was no need for a police report
I did mention that it was a while back and things could have changed, HAVE THEY?

If I had no idea on this I would not be posting,but thought the O.P might benefit from my input.

If I'm so ignorant on this then tell board why!
I'm quite sure there is not one rule for my old women replacing hers in Sang Khom,and totally different ones for others!

I mean exactly what I said , read the thread and you will see you are in a minority of one and I doubt you know exactly what your wife did to replace her lost card .

NOTHING will happen without a police report .

End of .

of course , ffs THINK it through

she must apply for a new ATM card , since when did banks accept passports in lieu ?

Since when has a Thai been able to get a passport without I.D!

A Thai passport is a legal document that verifies the holders I.D

Of course I am not Thai but every time I take money out of my Thai bank account my passport is required to prove my I.D.
One time my Thai driving license was excepted in Bangkok!

Its not a case of excepting a passport in lieu,its prove of I.D

Sorry mate but I sat through the whole boring crap with her,we did not get a police report!

Like I said I offered advice on my wife,s experience,being in a minority has nothing to do with that.

Like Mid said, the Thai must get a police report for the lost ID card before a replacement will be issued.

I was with the wife when she replaced her lost I.D

We never visited a police station and there for she never needed a police report.
It was two years ago and I found it a drag hanging around in the ampher with her,but have asked her again tonight as I may have missed something.

No my memory is good enough to know if we or I have been sat in a Thai nick!

The wife lost my youngest boys English passport,The British Embassy required a police report for that.
The one and only time I have had the pleasure of entering a Thai police station.

I was only offering the man a bit of advice and am happy to leave it at that.

^Fair enough, gravey. You could be right.

Application due to lost Citizen Identification Card

Required Documents

1. Householder Copy of House Registration;
2. Recommendation letter from the trustworthy person, along with Citizen Identification Card or the government documents such as Birth Certificate, original copy of Passport, Educational Certification

Surely to get the I.D in the first place she would of had the necessary paper work.

As I said in my first post there will be others with better advice,not sure that Rick is one though.

Without someone to verify who she is, then anyone could grab the paperwork and claim to be someone else (identity theft). My wife had to have her house registration (her brother's house actually as she had been out of country for over 10 years), her birth registration, and a properly registered Thai citizen to vouch that she was who the paperwork stated she was. That was about 8 years ago, so perhaps things have changed.

(And no, I didn't have to pay any tea money - my Thai BIL is a police Captain and that really does "grease" the skids when it comes to getting things done through the local bureaucracy. Without tea money you might wind up wasting an entire day or two to get your paperwork processed.)

Let us know how it turns out.

Well two and a bit years ago the wife replaced her I.D,thats how that one worked out Rick.

I will repeat this once more!!!!!!
I am only posting to give the O.P a bit of advice,if I'm in the minority and everyone wants a big debate carry on!

I will remind all the people in the know that when a Thai obtains their I.D they give a very important part of identification!!

Yes that,s right they give a fingerprint!!

If you lose your I.D its simple even in Thailand for them to check that you are who you say you are.

When a young Thai first gets an I.D card issued yes she would need someone to verify who she is,was that your point Rick

Rick I have never paid tea money even though I am in the minority when it comes to having a Pig in the wife,s family.

The o.p needs to ask why his girlfriend can not sort this minor issue out,or wait for some more advice.

Yours more than mine pal,so it appears!

Sometimes I wonder what Thailand I have been in and the one that I read about on here. My Wifes ID card expired while residing in the U.K. Upon returning to Thailand I went with Her when she renewed Her ID card. So easy,no fuss no drama,NO Tea MONEY,NO MR BIG to verify Her status. I have just asked Her about this,and yes it was easy,Her words,EASY.She tells Me that ID cards can now be renewed in the U.K

you gotta a lotta reds mate for 2 posts

She also told me she can't withdraw money since she has no ATM card and the bank won't accept her passport. It sounds a bit strange to me but what do I know, I'm not Thai! Every help is appreciated.

sounds like some one (is, will, been) raped,

Rubbish,
my wife went to make a new one last after losing hers,

Docs
1 police report
2 house book
3 birth certificate
why some of you mention Passports, most Thais don't have a bladdy passport
