The car registration book is the most important document for car ownership.
If the book is fake, you risk losing both money and legal rights.
How to Verify a Genuine Car Registration Book
1. Check the paper quality – Authentic books use special paper with watermarks and a clear Thai Garuda emblem. Suspiciously thin paper or unusual ink colors may indicate forgery.
2. Match numbers carefully – The license plate number and chassis number must match between the book and the actual car.
3. Inspect stamps and signatures – Official seals and signatures should be sharp and not duplicated.
4. Cross-check with the Department of Land Transport (DLT) – Bring the book and license number to confirm authenticity.
Tips for Used Car Buyers
- Never buy a car without inspecting the original registration book.
- Always verify with the DLT before transferring ownership.
