Car Sale & Transfer Documents

The original blue book (คู่มือจดทะเบียนรถ), the DLT transfer form ขส.บ. 10 signed by seller and buyer, copies of both parties' IDs (Thai ID + ทะเบียนบ้าน, or passport + residence certificate/work permit for foreigners), valid compulsory insurance (พ.ร.บ.), a sale agreement or receipt, a power of attorney if one party is absent, and the car itself for inspection. Download the blank ขส.บ. 10 and the filled example.

ขส.บ. 10 is the Department of Land Transport "request for transfer and acceptance of transfer" form (แบบคำขอโอนและรับโอน) used for cars and motorcycles. The seller (ผู้โอน) and buyer (ผู้รับโอน) fill in their details and the vehicle's plate, chassis and engine numbers. The back page is for DLT officers only. Blank form · Filled example.

We recommend writing both by hand, with one pen and no corrections: the power of attorney states that erasures or corrections in essential parts make it invalid, and some DLT offices only accept handwritten forms. Use our filled examples as a guide and copy them onto the blank forms. The sale agreement can be printed.

When the seller or the buyer will not be at the DLT office in person. Typically the seller signs a power of attorney (หนังสือมอบอำนาจ) for the buyer, who then completes the transfer alone. It must be signed in front of two witnesses, carry a duty stamp, and come with a signed copy of the grantor's ID. Blank form · Filled example.

10 THB if the power of attorney covers a single act (such as transferring one specific car), 30 THB if it covers more than one act. Writing one clear power — "transfer ownership of car plate [plate] [province]" — keeps it at 10 THB. Source: Revenue Department (rd.go.th).

Government fees are 5 THB application + 100 THB transfer + 50 THB inspection, plus transfer stamp duty of about 0.5 % of the DLT appraised value (50 THB per 10,000 THB). Example: appraised at 200,000 THB → about 1,000 THB stamp duty. New plates, if needed, cost 200 THB. Fees may change; the officer's appraisal decides the duty.

The seller and buyer must notify the DLT registrar within 15 days of the transfer; late notification can be fined up to 2,000 THB. Until the transfer is registered, traffic fines and liability are traced to the seller, so sellers should not delay.

Yes. A foreign buyer needs a passport (a non-immigrant visa makes it easier), signed copies of the photo and visa pages, and proof of a Thai address: a residence certificate (หนังสือรับรองถิ่นที่อยู่) from Immigration or the embassy, or a valid work permit. Some offices also ask for a Thai or international driving licence. Get the residence certificate first — it can take 1–5 working days.

Usually the DLT (ขนส่ง) office responsible for the province on the car's plates. Some offices can process other provinces — call the office before you go. Offices work Monday to Friday, roughly 8:30–16:30; plan 2–4 hours and bring cash for the fees.

Yes. Officers inspect the car and check that the chassis (VIN) and engine numbers match the blue book before the transfer is processed. A mismatch or a typo in these numbers on the form means the transfer will be refused.

Leave the date blank on ขส.บ. 10 and the power of attorney and write it on the day you actually submit at DLT. A date filled in early can cause problems if the 15-day period has passed. The sale agreement carries the date of the deal.

If the blue book (คู่มือจดทะเบียนรถ) contains the owner's signature, the seller should sign ขส.บ. 10 the same way; officers compare them. If the signature has changed since registration, ask the DLT office in advance how they want to handle it, because a signature that does not match can hold up the transfer.

Sign each copy and add a restriction such as "ใช้สำหรับโอนรถยนต์ทะเบียน 1กข 1234 กรุงเทพมหานคร เท่านั้น" ("for the transfer of car 1กข 1234 Bangkok only"), so the copy can't be reused for anything else. Write the line across the copy, not in an empty corner, and use the real plate number and province of the car being sold.

Not on ขส.บ. 10 — there the buyer certifies the seller's signature. The power of attorney (หนังสือมอบอำนาจ) needs two witnesses, who must not be the grantor or the attorney. Our sale agreement also has two witness lines, so both parties can prove later what was agreed.

A proof of sale (agreement, receipt or invoice) is part of the usual document set, and a written agreement protects both sides: price, deposit, payment method and vehicle details. Each party keeps one signed copy. Blank agreement · Filled example.

That the name in the blue book matches the seller's ID; that the chassis and engine numbers match the car; that the car is not under finance or reported stolen; and only pay in full after the documents are checked, ideally at DLT.

No. Uploaded photos of a Thai ID card, passport or blue book are processed by our AI provider only to read the details and pre-fill the form; they are not stored, and neither are the values read from them. The details you type are not saved either. Roddee PRO is an information service and not a party to the sale.
