Phu Khieo District clarifies the controversy over a mother unable to get an ID card for her 7-year-old son named "Lamka." As of October 29, 2026, Phu Khieo District has corrected the data and issued a new card. The issue arose after the parent posted on social media about taking her 7-year-old son "Lamka" for his first ID card, only to find a name printing error, sparking widespread online criticism. Later, a Chaiyaphum provincial news team investigated at the Phu Khieo District Registration Office, where they found citizens receiving services normally and interviewed Mr. Phacharaphol Atphakpak, Deputy District Chief acting as Assistant District Registrar. He explained that the child's name data, registered at the local registration office in Kaeng Kro District, had a Thai character recording error from the start, which propagated to the population database and caused the ID card production issue. The Phu Khieo District Registration Office, where the child is listed in the house register, has corrected the name in the population database per Department of Provincial Administration regulations and updated the central database. The parent must coordinate with the Kaeng Kro District local registration office to correct the original birth certificate data as well. Most recently, Ms. Thitirat and her son Lamka visited the Phu Khieo District Registration Office to obtain a new ID card with Mr. Phacharaphol, and the process went smoothly.
