Replacement For Lost Thai License

[corkman]

Dear all,

I lost my Thai driving license. How does one go about getting a replacement? I have a colour copy of the front.

I live in Bangkok. I'm a farang, work permit and visa etc.

Thanks in advance.

1. Report loss to Police station

2. Obtain copy of Police Report

3. Take Police Report and Copy of your Licence and Passport to Land Transport Office - fill in their replacement Licence form.

Land Transport Dept used to be on the opposite side of the road to Jatujak Weekend Market..last time I was there was maybe 20 years ago..so maybe it's moved ..check first.

Do not forget to lose your licence near the police station you go to. If you lose it out of district they cannot give a report.

My wife lost her DL - She simply asked for a new one at the DLT offices (Sukhumvit 107 area).

No issues at all. I'm not sure of the regulations, she might simply of spoke to someone flexible.

Normally a police report is required to obtain a replacement for many things, such as DL license, ATM card, passport, etc. Your wife just got lucky I guess. To the OP, get a report, it only costs 20 baht, receive a copy on the spot and take that with your DL copy and visa/WP. As previously stated, doesn't matter really which police station you go to, just make sure you report it lost in their jurisdiction.
