The journey to a Yellow Book in Hua Hin
Re: The journey to a Yellow Book in Hua Hin
Cool, thank you for the replies!
Re: The journey to a Yellow Book in Hua Hin
I finally got mine today along with my pink ID card. Went in today and took about an hour for them to complete all the paperwork. Not much said other than sit here and then go sit over there, took my thumbprints and then handed it all to me. No cost even though I was expecting to pay 60 baht.

First page of the Yellow Book top left has an 11 digit registration number: xxxx-xxxxxx-x
Do they use this same number on the Pink ID card?

No. That's the house's (or condo, etc) id code.
The important number on the ID card is the holder's national ID number (13 digits). This number appears in the tabien ban page (yellow book in this case) for each resident.

Not on mine they don’t!! (My reply was to Pete’s question).
Re: The journey to a Yellow Book in Hua Hin
Ok, we're now on page #2 and there is a 13 digit number beneath my name. I would assume that is the (my) national ID number.
What I'm driving at is it would be kind of daft to assign a foreigner a number in his Yellow Book, then assign a completely different number when he applied for the Pink ID card. But of course....this is Thailand.

Re: The journey to a Yellow Book in Hua Hin
You need the tabien ban in order to get an id card in the first place. If you've never been in a tabien ban then when you first apply to be registered in one is when your id number is signed. When you get your id card the id number from the tabien ban is entered on the id card.PeteC wrote:Ok, we're now on page #2 and there is a 13 digit number beneath my name.

So, did you use that yellow book to get the card? Unless a mistake was made the id numbers for you must be the same.Dannie Boy wrote:Well the number printed on my yellow book is different than the number on my ID card?

I have just checked and the 13 digits number on my ID card is the same as the one on the second page of the yellow book, yet my husband's last 2 numbers on ID card are different

HI Joelle
That could be human error, we sat in a hotel having a cake brought out to my husband for his birthday and when we told them it wasn't his birthday, they checked our ID's we used on check in and they had his date wrong by a month. After we looked at all our cards, we realized that the kids names are spelt differently on them from ours and they are all spelt correctly in the yellow book.

Re: The journey to a Yellow Book in Hua Hin
^^ Could be. The last digit in the id number is a check digit which should help avoid manual entry errors. But that doesn't help when it's not used correctly.

Re: The journey to a Yellow Book in Hua Hin
I don’t read Thai and I was looking at the wrong section of my yellow book, but I’ve now found what must be my ID number on the yellow book which is the same number as my pink ID card. Not sure what the number is, but there’s a similar number which is completely differenthhinner wrote:So, did you use that yellow book to get the card?
