This question is a perfect example of how things in Cambodia have changed for the worst.
Hassles of getting a birth certificate for someone actually born to a Khmer in Cambodia.
Years ago, (like more than 10) I was getting a residence visa to a Western country for someone. They had a Cambodian passport and ID card. The western country Immigration Department wanted a birth certificate. The problem was that the person in question was actually born in another country under another name 3 years before the date of birth that was on their Cambodian ID card and passport.
$300 and 3 weeks later we had an official Cambodian birth certificate in the Khmer name at the date of birth matching the ID card and passport. I swear that then I could have got an official birth certificate saying I was a Cow born in Cambodia.
How to get cambodian birth certificate?
Our sangkat refused to do it, told mum go do Sihanoukville cos that’s where she was born. She tried offer tea money but it was refused, no way were they going to do it regardless
12 months later after moving back to pp we tried again and no problem, no tea money, but skipped the difficult to translate middle names and stuck to first and surname and all was good.
Edit this was 2014
