J Town Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I did that with my SCB account. NEVER AGAIN! It took over an hour and a small mountain of paperwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerox Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I once changed my passport number with my driving license (many hours waiting time because it was busy), and SCB. Would not do it again. Waste of time. Have never heard of a Thai bothering to do it. They just wait until the license expires or maybe in case of green book if you want to sell your vehicle.

Dagfinnur Traustason Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I think that would apply to the ones that cares and do not want any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, lay yourself to rest and think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 We had the address in the green book changed on the next tax renewal after moving. Did it through an agent, one of the many that provide a one stop, test/tax/insurance service. We still haven't done our drivers licences though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the agent for my tax and inspections, however when they ask "is this your correct address" I always say yes, even though it isn't. In your experience, was the green book in a non-Thai name? If so, did they require any further paperwork such as residence certificate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bike is in my wife's name, so it was simply a matter of house book and Thai ID. For a falang it would yellow house or residence certificate from immigration, plus passport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultName Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Moved recently, changed mine. I see no reason to break the small laws that I don't care much about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I probably will try to change the green book address when I go for my new licence. I'm getting one original res cert only for the two licences, I'll show them the original that I take upstairs for the licences and give them a copy, if that's not good enough I won't bother changing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamnanT Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Keep in mind that speed camera violations will be mailed to the registered address of the vehicle. If you don't keep it up-to-date, you could miss them and then have difficulty renewing the registration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but mixed reports about that, on a recent thread many people said they don't pay and it's never been mentioned at tax renewal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The law that the address in the green/blue vehicle book or the driving license has to be updated is not enforced, same as the law that Thais have to get registered in the house book where they actually live. Thus there is no point in doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamarada Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hello, does it matter which area you go to the Land Office (within BKK) to renew your Road Tax? Or it has to be the one that covers your address in the Blue/Green Book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
