 I think the grace period was increased to 2 years during covid but might be back to one year. Guess you'll find out when you go to DLT 😅

After clicking this, your original drivers license pops up. This is even good enough to show police. Good luck !!

If you have some kind of copy, maybe you can still register in the DLT App. (Ask Thai to help)
