If the dealer is doing the registration (which most new car dealers do) people may confuse the needing the res cert for buying the vehicle,, when it's actually for the registration/transfer of the title from the dealer to the buyer. You know him? Well if splitting hairs is your specialty, go for it. But your statement could have been clear from start....

My name in Thai was copied from my yellow book which was needed to facilitate setting up the finance. This in turn used an official translation from my name in English in my passport. This translation was done at a local translation shop recognized by the amphur for all translation who then issued the yellow book. For consistency, this has been the translation used in more important documents such as my children's birth certificates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Sigh. Maybe this will help get an answer. If the poster buys a car in Bangkok, when he goes to transfer the registration into his name, will they (in Bangkok) accept a Certificate of Registration issued by the Jomtien Immigration office ? I would assume they would, but normally they give you the red plate and then you have to go back (months later for some strange reason) to get the white plate. It's an antiquated system and a bit of a PITA. For example, a couple years ago I had a fire that burnt the plate and tax decal of my bike. I went to the local DLT to inquire about getting a replacement plate and decal. I was told I'd have to go to Bangkok as that was where the vehicle was originally registered (when it was first imported). The DLT in Pattaya, for whatever reason, couldn't do it (which is pretty screwed up in this day and age). However, it seems that the actual plate is from Chon Buri, so either the previous (Thai) owner transferred the registration after he bought the bike, or was able to use his Thai address when he initially bought it in Bangkok. I'm guessing that hordes of people buy vehicles in Bangkok and take them back to their home provinces with no issue. (Though most of them are Thais and don't have to worry about things like Residency Certificates.) Depending on who you are buying the vehicle from (i.e. a private sale or from a dealership), if the address is an issue perhaps the vehicle can be shipped to Chon Buri first ? (I don't know what hoops dealerships have to go through to move vehicles around the country before they hit the lot. Probably cost extra to have the vehicle transferred but if it can be done it may be worth it considering the hassle if they won't accept the Jomtien certificate in Bangkok.)

OneZero Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Let's imagine that the Thai government just might want to get more what might otherwise be farang owned assets into the hands of Thai's. What better way to do it than to make the bureaucracy aspects tedious so farangs put the assets in Thai names to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
