Applied for a Thai drivers license about six months ago...

 A few days ago I lost my wallet ...and naturally the license along with it..

 

Can anyone tell me the procedure involved in getting a duplicate?

 

There is a thread here on THAIVISA  but it's nearly five years old.

 

I applied for the license  here in Chiang ,Mai ,,,which is where I am now.

 

Appreciate any advice,

thanks.

Lost my license a couple of years ago. Simple process...report the loss to the police and get a 'police report'. Head down to your local driving license office, show them the police report and follow their instructions. I found it relatively painless. Maybe take a bottle of water and something to read just in case there's any delays.

Same as what d123 wrote, easy to do just have to wait at the motor vehicle dept.

Yep, same as d123 and keeniau96, simple procedure.

Have a nice day

Me to, have tried that – easy procedure, just follow "d123" in post #2...

Yes, simple procedure and pay about another 300 baths.

thanks for the replies and info...appreciate it..

When I lost mine, they told me that I didn't  need the police report

What nobody mentioned is:
- take your passport, WP (if any) etc. along too; they might ask for photocopies as the just love photocopies
- if you have a copy of the license you've lost it helps
- see the office of original issuance; facilitates matters although the DLT are interlinked these days
- come nicely groomed with that "perfect-son-in-law" outfit and smile as they take a new photo of you 

With all that you usually do not need a water bottle; had mine replace in less than five minutes; there is a nominal fee of a few hundred Baht - et voilà 

Hmmm.....given that most Thai drivers seem to not have a licence at all.......hmmmm

Did you get the same dates or did they give you 5 new years?
