ORIGINAL POSTERSuccessfully got a certificate of residence for driving license. Immig Div 1, Bangkok.
Saw a number of posts about this and sharing the list of requirements. In my case previous 90-day report was not available since I leave every month. So needed to also photocopy evidences from the passport that I never spent more than 90 days in Thailand - so departure and arrival stamps throughout the period.
The TM30 also needs to ideally match your LATEST arrival date. Since I did not know this I had to request from the landlady on the spot and it can only be dated within 24 hours. This was accepted.
