Residency certificate: New to Chaing Mai, long time in Thailand

[ItDontMeanAThing]

Will a 3 month rental agreement for a place in Chiang Mai be sufficient proof of residence to obtain a residency certificate in Chiang Mai? I've never had a need for a residency certificate. Finally decided to get a drivers license, so I'll need the certificate.

You should not have a problem to get a residence certificate with 3 month rental contract.

You visa/entry status could effect you getting it though.

Officially you need at least a Non-O, extension or WP to get a DL.

Exceptions proof the rule.

Thanks.

I have a non-imm 'O' for the purpose of retirement with several 12 month extensions (did I phrase that right? ... I need coffee)

You can get the residence certificate since you have an extension of stay.

Have you changed your address at immigration in CM yet?

Thanks for connecting the residence certificate and extension of stay.

I don't plan to arrive in CM for a few months.
