I've had a Thai license and been renewing them for nearly 20 years.
The issue is people here are saying Nonthaburi immigration doesn't issue a certificate of residence which isn't true. I'm not sure who gave the impression it could be issued on the spot. And I'm not referring to chaengwattana, I said Nonthaburi Immigration, which is the issue in this thread. It doesn't matter what Chaengwattana Immigration said because this thread is about Nonthaburi immigration.
I'm not sure why you're repeating about ChaengWattana and how long it takes and that it can't be issued on the spot. I never asked or said any of that. I am clarifying Nonthaburi immigration.
1) yes you can get it there and they issue the certificate.
2) it takes 7 days and must be picked up in person
3) I provided photos of the forms they give you.
And that's the end of it.
Also, another misinformation here. The US embassy says nothing about "except nonthaburi". Those words aren't there at all. That's all. Just to leave it clear. Either people are misleading on purpose or it has changed since last year so I'm updating this with the correct info. About Nonthaburi immigration (see the thread title).
