Aviatorhi Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Have a new passport and all my green books and blue books use my old passport number. Out of an abundance of caution do I need to change these and update to the new number? Or simply keep a the old passport around? Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum.

It sounds like you refer to motorbike and car registration books. Never thought about it. I took care with the banks but not with the DLT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a condo or??? glegolo Blue book is normally for a car. The blue book for a condo (Thai) never would use any information from passport, as you have a Thai ID.. or with a yellow book you will becoming a new ThaiID, which then is used for example as the registration number for the PinkID.

Aviatorhi Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 These are all for cars and motorbikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glegolo Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 So blue book is for a car... I thought that the blue book NORMALLY is the registration for thai citizens, and yellow book for falang people.... So there is ALSO some other blue book that is valid for cars and vehicles?? glegolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 That's the risk with simplified terms When I read blue AND green it was quite clear that it refers to vehicle registration. Of course a house registration book for Thai people is (also) blue (dark blue) and for foreigners it's yellow. And as usual the registration books contain the passport number of the foreigner (like the driving licenses). Thai people have their citizen ID which normally will never change. So it's always a foreigner's issue which might lead to confusion. I hope someone can contribute to the original question of the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glegolo Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Thank you guys for clearing that up for me. You learn every day hopefully... glegolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviatorhi Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 So any insight here? I am fairly content with keeping the books as is since they only ever come out of the safe at tax time and I have the old passport locked up with them in case someone questions the ID number. Was hoping someone else had an experience with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I can only really see it being maybe a problem if you plan on selling the vehicles...for every year tax and insurance purposes they never look at ID/passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping someone else had an experience with this. My ID card number is in the vehicles registration book and this number is reliable because it will never change. If your passport number has been used instead of a ID then I would ask the transport department what happens if you change owners and the ID does not match your passport or the police query ownership for some reason.

canthai55 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 15 years - never an issue. Bought and sold, old PP number and new. All DLT wants is that the book is in your name. Thai DL has had old PP number for years - never an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
