How do I transfer motorcycle license plates from Pattaya to Bangkok?

If you don't change your address on your registration.. then a problem could arise if a fixed penalty notice.. say for speeding or some other driving infringement.. gets sent to your old address and it is returned to the police.. you should also consider that any insurance you have could be invalidated.. since your address is a factor in the premium calculation and the price could change if you move residence.. so witholding a change of address could be considered a material variation to the contract of insurance.. leaving you uninsured if you have an accident.. however, once you notify the DLT in your old province of a change of address to another province.. they will normally give you 7-14 days to go to the DLT in your new province to re-register it there.. meaning you don't have a choice in the matter.. and failure to do so at that point will result in a fine.. i would suggest it is advisable to simply re-register a vehicle in the new province in all such cases.. so as to avoid creating problems for yourself later.. it will also make it easier to sell it later on.. since potential local buyers could be deterred if they see it is registered in a distant province!

go to DLT

Local DLT.

No need to change the plates, you can pay tax and renew insurance everywhere in the country.

Dont need for what you want to Change ?

My truck is registered in Chon Buri, and garaged in Buri Ram. No issues getting the registration renewed in Buriram. Been told it’s common.

Wouldn't your plates, move to bangkok, attached to your bike,

You don't have to change the plates when moving provinces. I moved from Non Khai to Korat and it was fine. Only time to be aware is when you sell, as i did, then the buyer from a neighbouring province wanted to change on ownership. You just sign the papers then they do the leg work.

Why bother, better leaving where they are , yo it can renew and extend every year anyway

My truck was registered in Bangkok but I live in the sticks there is no obligation to change plates when moving provinces

Why? All you need to do is pay your tax and compulsory insurance every year, doesn't matter what province the plates are from, same goes for selling the bikes later, plates are irrelevant.

If you think you might ever move back to Pattaya, I would just leave the registration as it is. Very very slim chance you’d have any problems.

Why ?

Do to the DLT, there's a form you submit (forget the number). Takes 2 days.
