Home » Reader question » Reader question: How can I register my Thai child for Dutch law?
Dear readers,
I'm doing some research but can't quite figure it out. At the end of September my Thai wife will give birth to our first child.
The part of registering for Thai law is not a problem. I would like to know how and where I can register our child for Dutch law and apply for a Dutch passport for her?
I have deregistered from the Netherlands and we got married under Thai law
Thanks in advance.

Hello Andre,
My little boy is 4 years old now and born in Seriruk Hospital in Minburi/Bangkok.
Many things can be very cumbersome and complicated in Thailand, but although it has been a few years now, I still remember that obtaining both passports (TH / NL) was a piece of cake for my son.
The hospital arranged birth certificates in English and Thai and even registration in the amphoe Minburi.
Then an appointment at the embassy, passport photos (fingerprint children only for Thai passports in my opinion) and you're done (or Andre in this case).
Much happiness, love and prosperity to the little one.

Consult the website of the Dutch embassy - make an appointment and take all birth and marriage documents with you - translating and such will take some time - you have enough time in this covid period...
Declaring and obtaining a Dutch or Belgian passport for a child born from a mixed marriage is quite simple, except for some administrative hassle.
Good luck
Just go to the Dutch embassy to get a Dutch passport. Do bring a translation of the birth certificate and marriage certificate and it is best to make an appointment in advance. Your child is automatically entitled to Dutch citizenship. If it would be older than 6 or 7 years, a DNA test must prove that it concerns your child.
You can have a passport photo taken opposite the embassy, please note that the child must have his eyes open.
A photo is taken on the spot for a Thai passport, the child can just sleep and have his eyes closed. (Experienced myself with our son two weeks after birth)
Because you are married, the child is automatically entitled to Dutch citizenship.
Everything is clear on the internet:

Andre, congratulations on the forthcoming fatherhood.
At the beginning of 2007 I flew to Thailand especially to recognize the "unborn child" of my pregnant Thai girlfriend at the Dutch embassy in BKK. Now I don't know what the rules are when one is married in Thailand. But I'm glad I made the effort at the time. Because afterwards it takes more effort to get things arranged, especially if your marriage has not yet been recognized for Dutch law.

Yes, that all sounds great, but the Dutch embassy in Bangkok does not register a birth. The declaration must be made in The Hague, the birth certificates must be translated by an official translation agency, and then legalized. With this document with the official stamps and stickers, a birth can be declared in The Hague, only after that a passport can be obtained, at the embassy in Bangkok, but only in the presence of the mother, if not, also not with a power of attorney no passport
Do you have a different experience with registering a birth? First, during the pregnancy, fruit recognition was done at the Dutch embassy in Bangkok. After the birth, the documents were translated and submitted to the embassy in Bangkok. Passport also applied for there. Neatly arranged by the embassy in Bangkok, so personally have not been to The Hague at all.
You're mixing things up, Lee. The declaration at Landelijke Taken in The Hague is optional (although recommended), but if you are still registered with a Dutch municipality, you must register your birth there. However, you can do that at your leisure, if you are in the Netherlands again.
Obtaining a passport is separate from this: this can easily be arranged through the Dutch embassy in Bangkok, after presentation of birth certificate and marriage certificate, of course translated and apostilized. With us, the birth certificate was unfortunately only in Thai.
