The Department of Land Transport (DLT) has issued a warning to the public about a fraudulent Facebook page using its initials to trick individuals into paying for driving licenses without the need for exams or in-person applications. The misleading page claims to facilitate obtaining licenses without the mandatory processes. This scam could result in financial loss and potential data exposure to online fraudsters.

The Anti-Fake News Centre Thailand (AFNCT) collaborated with the DLT to investigate the fraudulent activities. The page in question, deceptively named with “DLT Department of Land Transport for hire to issue all types of driving licenses,” seeks to exploit motorists eager to bypass standard procedures. This page falsely advertises that it can aid in acquiring licenses without proper training or tests.
Authorities highlighted that all driving license applications must be done in person at official DLT offices. The DLT does not authorize any third parties or entities to issue licenses on its behalf. Thus, any money transferred to the fake page will be lost, and victims may also face the risk of personal data leaks to scammers.
Looking forward, the DLT and AFNCT are focusing on raising public awareness to prevent further exploitation. They stress the importance of following proper legal channels for driving licenses and urge everyone to report suspicious activities to the authorities. The public is advised to remain vigilant and adhere to official guidelines and procedures.
