Full English text, with one anchor per section.<\/p>\n<p>This is the statute behind the Thai house registration book (<em>\u0e15\u0e30\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19 \u0e1a\u0e32\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e19<\/em>, \u0e17\u0e30\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19\u0e1a\u0e49\u0e32\u0e19): the blue book (Tor Ror 14) held by Thai nationals and permanent residents, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/thai-yellow-house-book-ta-bien-baan\/\">yellow book (Tor Ror 13) issued to foreigners<\/a>, the 13-digit identity number, the pink identity card for non-Thai nationals, birth and death registration, and the duty to report a move into or out of a house within fifteen days. It is administered by the Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA) of the Ministry of Interior through the district office (<em>\u0e41\u0e2d\u0e21\u0e40\u0e1f\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c<\/em>) and the municipal or local registrar.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign residents meet this Act more often than they realise. The yellow house book, the pink ID card, the proof of address asked for at the Land Transport Office, the bank and the Land Office, and the fifteen-day rule when you move house all trace back to the sections below. Two points deserve emphasis before you read the text. First, under Section 34 paragraph four a house number or a house registration is not evidence of any right in the land or the building: the book records who lives there, not who owns it. Second, since the 2019 amendment a late report of a move is no longer a criminal offence but attracts a late-notification fee under Section 51, capped at 1,000 baht by the fee schedule.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tlo-act-box\"><h2>Sections that matter to foreigners<\/h2><ul>\n<li><a href=\"#section-4\">Section 4: definitions of house, house registration, householder, dweller and Central House Registration.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#section-29\">Section 29: a person named in a house registration is presumed to live and have his domicile there (this presumption is why the book is accepted as proof of address).<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#section-30\">Sections 30 to 30\/2: reporting a move-out and a move-in within fifteen days; the householder\u2019s duty and the resident\u2019s right to report personally.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#section-34\">Section 34: house numbers, provisional registration during construction, and the rule that a house number or house registration is not proof of land rights or ownership.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#section-36\">Section 36: the house registration for Thai nationals and for non-Thai nationals having a residence in the Kingdom (the blue book, Tor Ror 14).<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#section-38\">Section 38: the house registration for non-Thai nationals staying in the Kingdom temporarily and for their children born in Thailand (the yellow book, Tor Ror 13), and removal from the register once permission to stay ends.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#section-38-1\">Sections 38\/1 to 38\/3: the identity card for non-Thai nationals (the pink card), its ten-year validity and renewal within sixty days.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#section-39\">Section 39: the householder keeps the copy of the house registration and must have it updated within fifteen days of any change.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#section-50\">Section 50: false evidence or an unlawful entry in a house registration is a criminal offence; for a non-Thai national the penalty is six months to five years\u2019 imprisonment and a fine of 20,000 to 200,000 baht.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#section-51\">Section 51 and the fee schedule: late notifications are regularised by paying a late fee of up to 1,000 baht.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"tlo-act-box\"><h2>About this text<\/h2>\n<p>The base translation is the unofficial English translation prepared by the Department of Provincial Administration, which incorporates the amendments of Act No. 2 B.E. 2551 (2008).
