My license (1 year) just expired a month ago at a time when I could have gone to renew on a weekday but I didn't keep track of it. So from now until after the 25th I have no more time off and we're getting a new car on the 20th, what can I do? I don't want to be driving around with no license for a week.

The district offices are open on the weekend and offers basic services such as making ID cards and things related to the house registration book. Does the department of land transportation do the same? Because this indeed would be a very simple exercise (copy of house registration, ID and expired license). Then just sit down and take a new picture, wait 2 minutes and viola!

Not so "simple" anymore if the LTD requires you to sit through the 45 min DVD on safe driving, and the quick eye test.

In any case, doubt it they're open on weekends, not out at Klong Luang LTD anyway.

You don't say where you are located.
