Each amphur has different rules for the Yellow Tabian Ban. I didn't need a birth certificate to get mine or my parents names or anything from foreign Affairs or the embassy. I doubt there is a template, other than the one in a brown envelope.
Went to the Amphur today to apply for the yellow house book. Besides the usual documents, marriage certificate, legalised copy of passport etc they also require a photo of the wife and I with the house in the background. They also want a legalised copy of my birth certificate stating the names of my parents etc. As my British birth certificate does not state my parents details they showed me a copy of a sworn oath by a New Zealander, stamped by the Embassy and the Thai ministry of Foreign affairs. Just more red tape but has any one done this and do you have a template or an example I can copy from.

Every Amphur have their own rules/requirements, there is no set template or application form. They seem to make it as difficult as possible. You will have to give them what they ask for.
When I applied for mine I was asked for -
1. An embassy certified translation of passport with letter stating that I was a British Citizen.
2. Parent names in Thai Script.
3. Copies of visa from passport.
4. Passport size photos.
5. Copies of GirlFriend's house book and ID card
I am not married so did not require marriage certificate or photos with wife.
I did not fancy a visit to the British Embassy in Bangkok so I had my passport translated by an online service, they also translated my parents names, I also supplied a residence certificate from immigration.
After numerous visits and rejections they eventually agreed to give me a yellow book. I had to bring my GF and the village "headman" Poo Yai baan. They also gave me the "pink Thai ID card"

Mine was pretty straight forward and were very helpfull, no brown envelope involved, no extra stuff, just an Iced coffee, which I was getting one myself and asked if they would like one
