When discharge from the hospital, we got a beautiful birth certificate - on the stamp paper, with a bunch of beautiful curls. It can be seen that it is written there about our son much more than in Russian testimonies. Now it was to transfer the document to understand what, in the end, it was written there.
To legalize Thai birth certificate, you must first get a certified translation into English. It gives its MFA Thailand, located in Bangkok. It is said that this piece of paper can be obtained by mail, and the whole procedure takes several days.

But for this, it is necessary to go to Bangkok - by mail, such a document is not issued. What of course terribly uncomfortable. After all, Phuket is at a distance of 900 kilometers - no neighbor, let's say straight. I saw a lot of Russian girls on the island, who are sitting here and do not even appear how to receive documents on their children. One husband threw a pregnant woman in Thailand, the other broke up with his spouse immediately after the birth of a child.

And with a longing in his voice, they say that, for example, the American embassy periodically suits the departure of its employees in different corners of Thailand - just for the US citizens, which are not very convenient to go to Bangkok, could solve all questions on the spot.
But Russians have their own pride. Therefore, we need not only to go to Bangkok themselves, but also back to dip in the usual Russian bureaucracy. This is when you sit and you shake: whether you need a piece of paper (which seems to be able to give, but who knows it) And how much time it will take it. Because, unlike Thai business institutions, we have nothing regulated. And the translation of a single birth certificate leaflet may take one day, and maybe - and a week: it's how to negotiate. Husband and daughter was lucky not from the first attempt ...
