Understanding the Two Types of House Registration Books (Tabien Baan) in Thailand
We're clearing up the confusion about the two different colored house registration books in Thailand and gathering all the essential information for foreigners who own a condominium and want to be registered.
Blue House Registration Book (Thor.Ror. 14)
For: ✅ Thai Citizens
Purpose: Used to verify the identity and address of Thai nationals. It is essential for official government contact, such as making a national ID card, voting, and military conscription.
Yellow House Registration Book (Thor.Ror. 13)
For: ✅ Foreigners who are permitted to reside in Thailand and own property (e.g., a condominium).
Purpose: Serves as official proof of address for foreigners to use in various transactions, such as opening a bank account, applying for a driver's license, and buying or selling property.
