Drivers License renewal in Sakon Nakhon

Documents needed for renewal:
  • drivers license
  • document from Immigration Office (bring photograph when applying)
  • copy of passport all pertinent pages
  • doctor's certificate
  • copy of housebook (main page)*
  • copy of house owner's  identification card*

The earlier you arrive, the earlier you leave with your license in hand.  
I was missing two documents* and had to rush home.  By the time I returned I was last in the group.

I was sent upstairs to join a group.  There were two groups, one with a video, a second with an instructor talking nonstop.  I sat in the wrong group, the talker.  Didn't understand a word.

A monitor arrived after an hour and handed me my paperwork to proceed for the photographing and issuing of the license.

With only one camera in operation the waiting time was nearly two hours.  Remember I had the last number in the group.  To make it even more time consuming, there were two groups with identical numbers. My number 36 therefore was realistically 72.

If I would have had  all documents during my first visit I expect I would have been under number 20
I had left the house at 07:30 and arrived home at 12:12
