BlueFlowery01 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hello, Can I renew my Thai ID when I'm under 20 years old on my own without consent from parents or legal guardians? If so, what documents would I need and what would be the process of renewing my Thai ID? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking about renewing my Thai ID under age 20 because I haven't been able to find info online about this and also because of personal reasons. My Thai ID expires 1 day before my 18 birthday so I wanted to know if I could renew it when I'm under 20 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works on my mobile. 1000 baht for 30 mins talking to English speaking lawyer. 2000 for an hour. If you wanted your wife there with you same price for a Thai & English speaking lawyer. There's another lawyer firm in Bangkok that offers an hour free consultation and also gives estimates of costs. Many lawyers on Google Search.

ThaiLawOnline Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Majority is 20 yo. it is clause 19 of the Thai commercial and civil code. Section 19. A person, on completion of twenty years of age, ceases to be a minor and become sui juris. « Sui juris » is a Latin for a legal expression meaning adult. There are exceptions in the law. Someone who get married under 20 can become « sui juris ». See clause 20 of the Thai commercial and civil code if they follow 1448 and following.
