Certificate of Residence for a Thai driving license.

My understanding is that you need a Certificate of Residence as part of the documents you submit to get a Thai driving license.

I believe you obtain such a certificate from the Thai immigration. As I live in BKK, I assume I’ll have to deal with the Chang Wattana office.

- First question : Do I need to go there in person with all the required documents ( which I would like to avoid…) or can I send them all the required documents?

I saw some information on internet, regarding the documents you need to apply for this certificate. I’ve pasted the list below.

- Second question: Do I really need all the documents listed below ???

1. Residence Certificate Application Form in Thailand ( This is the TM18 form, isn’t it?)

2. Original passport (as well as a copy of the biodata page, current visa, most recent entry stamp, and TM.6 Card)

3. Receipt of 90-day Report Notification

4. A copy of your Address Notification Receipt (TM.30).

5. A copy of your house lease agreement and rental contract where you stay including:

– A copy of ID/Passport (if a foreigner) of the landlord

– A copy of the house registration book of the landlord

– A copy of the title deed to confirm who is the owner required if the landlord is not a household

6. One passport-size photo (white background taken within 6 months)

- Third question regarding the above item 5: I got the lease agreement, of course, but I don’t have the house registration book of the landlord, nor do I have a copy of the title deed. Do I need these two ?

Thanking you in advance

Thanks for the comment regarding my question asking about International Driving Permits. I went to the Licensing Centre near Big C, Chiang Mai and was told I would need a 'Certificate of Residence' for the Permit and one for my license to be corrected, I have a new passport so the number is incorrect on license. My next problem is which Immigration form do I use, for Certificate of Residence? I have found 3 up to now TM 18, TM 20 and one with no number. Any help would be useful I can of course just go and ask but if I can download the correct one so much the better.

Thanks in advance
