keithet Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 My neighbor said he used his rent recites and lease to get his driver license. He never got a letter from embassy or immigration. Is this true? It seams more valid then a letter from embassy. Has any one tried this? I will be going to the office by my home near BangChak bts station.

keithet Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 This is for proof of residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeijoshinCool Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 A letter from the embassy is required if you don't want to take the tests and have a valid license from home the embassy will attest is real. The letter from your immigration office is for proof of residency, and you must take the tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithet Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Interesting. But the letter for the affidavit from the US embassy only asks information about my address. I did not see anything on it about confirming my driver's licence, only address. Edited June 25, 2014 by keithet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should tell people what nationality you are …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Letter from embassy can serve as proof of address, same as letter from immigration, tambien baan and workpermit. No connection between that and (not) doing tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No connection between that and (not) doing tests.OK so I don't have tambian or work permit...So back to my question can I use my lease and rent recites for proof of address like my neighbor said he did? Or is it that if I use the US embassy I don't have to take the questionier test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is an affidavit from the US embassy that does serve to have testing waived by verifying a license is valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the DL office, the person there helping you, his/her mood, your behaviour, etc. Officially not, but who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is an affidavit from the US embassy that does serve to have testing waived by verifying a license is valid. Can you share the form #? The only thing I can find about driving license on the embassy web site is proof of address. Nothing about varafiing a license is valid... Nor was there a form when I went in person last week for affidavit for marriage. I don't mind taking the test. But I just can't find this service from the embassy. My original question is to see if anyone else knows what my neighbor said could be true. I heard from some one and just want to know about if it can be done. No disrespect but you said the letter from embassy is not what you did. But thanks for your info if you can provide a form # Edited June 25, 2014 by keithet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
