Khmer ID Card (How to & cost)
A friend (khmer) lost his ID card last year and don't know how to get a new one and the cost $$$.
I think it involves a family book and photo ID, but where to go, how to proceed and how much it will cost is a mystery...
Any tips ?

So he is a she and that's a Vietnamese ID card from before the Second Indochinese war. Something's not quite right there. The new ID cards cost way over $100 as far as I know, maybe $250 someone on here might have said last year.

Holy shit, that's retarded. It would explain why none of them ever change their addresses.

does she not know how to get a new card or she just doesn't want to pay for a new card? it would help to differentiate of what she really thinks...
that's cool looking annamese id card. did it require that she had to crop her hair to take id picture?

Just asked my now retired father in law who work used to work in our local Sangkat in Sihanoukville. He is under the impression that if your original Khmer ID is lost it costs $500 to get a replacement. The reason being that the government want their citizens to look after them and keep them safe. Most of my in-laws only carry laminated scans of the original on their person day to day to avoid the risk of losing them.

My pic of an old ID card is just to illustrate the thread. It's an 1955 cambodian ID card, not my friend's ID (23 y/o).
My friend lost her ID card last year, she needs a new one, will go back to province for the family book and deal with the sangkat there.
She is very worried about the cost, seems it's between 2500 Riels (the stamp) and ... 500$.
500$ ? Why not two Lexus or a milion dollar ?
For 500$ I think I can buy her village with the sangkat.

If you can negotiate the village for 500$ I will take half. You can be sangkat and we can issue ourselves cards and then get passports. We will save the business visa renewal costs and be in the black in non time.
Seems like a nice investment. I always wanted to own a village. Any decent rice growing sharecroppers?
Bet you he/she's not 23 years old either; photo please.

In Phnom Penh, last month, 150USD, but with an express fee attached as the ID was needed within a week.
OTOH, if the sangkhat is on a drive to get its population ID'd and asks the people it might just cost 10k KHR.
