Driver's License Renewal 2026 How to renew your driver's license online from 5 years to 5 years by walking in without booking a queue online. The process is easy, quick, and available at all Department of Land Transport offices nationwide.
"Thairath Online" We recommend a method to renew your car driver's license for 5 years to another 5 years by walking in without booking an online queue, but completing online training and an online exam first. Details are as follows.
We suggest completing the online license renewal training first to save time. You can do the training on the DLT e-learning system via smartphone or tablet by downloading the DLT e-learning app or throughwww.dlt-elearning.comwhich is free 24 hours a day and available every day without holidays.
- Renewing a license from 5 years to 5 years requires 1 hour of training.
- If the license has expired for more than 1 year, a 5-hour training and a written exam are required.
- If the license has expired for more than 3 years, a 5-hour training, a written exam, and a driving test must be taken again.
1. The old expired driver's license or a replacement if lost.
2. The original ID card.
3. A medical certificate issued within the last month.
4. Proof of online training completion for license renewal.
- To clarify, I completed the online training beforehand and went to the Bangkok Transport Office Area 2 in Taling Chan around 12:50 PM.
- At the counter, I requested document verification and was told to expect a queue number around 1:30 PM. I returned near that time to the counter again.
- When the time came, I queued again for document verification and received a queue number for physical and vision tests.
- The physical test involves a brake test, while the vision test checks color perception, depth perception, and peripheral vision.
- After completing the tests, I waited in line to get the new license, paid 505 baht, and finished the process.
- The entire renewal took from 1:30 PM to 2:40 PM, which was fairly quick.
We still recommend everyone complete the online license training first for convenience. As for online queue booking, it may be inconvenient because the slots appear fully booked every day. Therefore, walking in is the most convenient. Importantly, arrive before 3:00 PM as the payment system closes around 3:30 PM.
