Hello everyone! I recently received my new passport and in the process of updating it with the banks, AIS, etc. My question is what about the driving license? Should that be updated now as well? Thanks for reading!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses whether a new passport requires updating a Thai driving license. Comments suggest that the driving license needs to be updated if it has expired, if you have changed addresses, or during the renewal process, as the passport number is linked to the driving license.

It just gets updated at renewal of your license. Well that's what's happened with mine.

Yes if you mean your Thai one, your passport number is on it.

Yes, you need to update your Thai drivers licence so it shows the new passport number not the old one.
