IF damaged or lost. There is no cut off age for ID cards. Amphurs tell citizens attaining 60 they can use that card for life, meaning it doesn't have to be replaced every 6 years, but they can still replace it as required.

Oh and the pinko does have a valid to date if your under 60. This posted by you. " ID cards are replaced every 6 years with new updated photos. At age 70 they stop updating the card. When the card is renewed on or after your 70th birthday it's good for life." You were wrong end of goodnight sweetheart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way you can replace it after the age of 60 is by either moving Amphurs or changing your name. IMO.

Yes same here which is why i was querying the finger prints (plural) as has been mentioned. Blood groups i would take with a pinch of salt and would hope hospitals would in case of Emergancies.

They get lost, stolen and defaced being carried around for so long. They report the loss or damage to the Police first, it will then be replaced for 20 baht.

I have it although it would never be taken as Gospel tattooed on my arm. There are many who never give blood out there. Knowing your blood group is not a burning priority to many i suspect.

Regardless of which ID card, they can be replaced as required if lost, stolen, damaged, change of address etc. My wife's son lost his ID card earlier this year, and hers was getting 'shabby' after going through the washing machine twice. She got a Police report and the Amphur replaced both for 40 baht. I can do exactly the same to replace my Pink ID card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Lolly Yellow Lolly Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) The same misconceptions keep coming up here. Regarding the restriction on movement, what is written on the back of the card is that the card cannot be used outside the district it was issued UNLESS the holder has permission to stay i.e. a valid visa and extension, in which case the restriction on movement doesn't apply. This is very clearly stated, albeit in Thai. I suspect posters here are getting their girlfriends to translate and only getting the 'you can't travel' part. The pink ID card IS a Thai ID card. It's an ID card issued by Thai government i.e. a Thai ID card. What is stated on the card is that holding it doesn't confer Thai national status to the holder, only resident alien status. Another 'girlfriend' translation gaffe on this I suspect. I really think if people don't really know what they're talking about they should just shut their cake hole.
