crabstix Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I have lost my motorbike licence. I have a 7 motorbike year licence which I obtained near the 'Wat Fung Min' area of Chiang Rai at the transport dept (Thais call this area 'Con Song'). Any ideas how I can go about getting a new one? What documents do I need and how much do I need to pay? How long does it take to get a new one? I have a photocopy of my licence. Will that help? Or do I have to do the whole driving test again? In the meantime I think I will have to avoid the cops. I doubt they will accept a xerox of my motorbike license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go the police station, report your licence has been lost, get a report from them, go to the ''Fung Bin'' with the report card and they will issue you with a new licence. Not sure of the cost involved. Hope that's useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told me to just bring my passport as ID and take it to where my bike license was issued. When I got there they told me I needed my work permit as well! Anyway all is sorted now. In case this happens to anyone else on this forum, you need 2 passport photos (1 inch), a work permit, passport and 105 baht. Whole process takes 15 minutes. At least now I no longer have to dodge the cops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
