From children born abroad, our state is diligently distancing. As we were told in the Russian Embassy in Thailand, our son (in all the rest, born in another country), "Issuance of a birth certificate is not provided for." That is, they tell us, the child's birth certificate has already received. From the authorities of Thailand. So live now with this piece of paper. Maximum than the native state will help - it will translate into Russian and officially confirms the seal that everything written there is true (and, will take off for its services not modest $ 15 per page, as in Thai Foreign Ministry, and at once 40 - .
Why you can not with this translation into Russian to come to our Russian registry office and get the usual birth certificate for all, it is incomprehensible to me. In the end, our son is a citizen of the Russian Federation. There are no benefits from the fact that he is born in Thailand, we do not have (if you do not count as such, the sun, a good ecology). However, if the overseas document suddenly lost (yes it ends, in the end - you would have seen on what a tonya paper is printed by the Russian version!), I can't get a copy in Russia. I will have to fly again first to Phuket, and then in Bangkok in our embassy. Or now the "pleasant" bonus: half of the institutions in Russia simply does not accept Thai testimony. At least when I tried (peering into the future) to put a child in an electronic queue in kindergarten, I simply did not work. Because there must be mandatory to fill in the right column of the Russian birth certificate. There is no other.
It is said that, in theory, at the Russian Embassy in Thailand, it is possible to obtain a Russian birth certificate - like as a consul (or ambassador, not strong in this terminology) possess such powers. However, at the very embassy, of course, I did not hear anything.
In a word, as I had time to say in my native passport desk (while on the phone, but I assume that it would be so at a personal meeting), "there would be nothing to be released, it would be gave birth like everything in the usual Russian maternity hospital and there would be no problems! " No comments.
