tontraveller Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Does anyone has expirience what to do? This morning at checkpoint with my motobike, I found out that only my car license was in my wallet. Usually I carry both with me. Luckily the officer had his sunglasses on, so he did not notice I showed him the car license. Now I do have photo copy of my license. Do I need police report first, or can I go to the Banglamung office to apply for a new one? Thanks for usefull advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall reading somewhere (within the past couple of years) that a Police Report is no longer required to replace a lost Driving / Motorcycle License. A couple of years ago, my Wife (Thai) simply replaced her license at the DLT (Area 3 Bangkok), no police report required. Thus: Op - simply go to your DLT (with your passport) and ask to replace the license. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was for the original motorcy lic application or the replacement of the lost one for which you said you also had a photo copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone at the DLT is making up their own interpretation of the regulations - No residence permit is required to renew a lost license. Are you close enough to a different DLT to try there before this spirals to the ridiculous to obtain a 'Proof of Residence’ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but it seems that it's no longer needed. I would get one anyway, it would be just my luck to get an LTA officer who didn't get the email. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally if I lose one I lose the lot, car and bike licence, debit card, store cards, 200 baht slush money etc, I do the police report and take copies of all the documents as the bank needs a copy. Touch wood, it has been about 4 years since the last time, but at 76 it will happen again sometime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
