Replacement Maid/Driver/Guest ID Cards and ISB Access Car Stickers
Greetings,
For security reasons all maids, drivers and guest ID Cards must be replaced annually (no need for parents replacement). Car/Golf Cart stickers are valid for two years, so if you already have a car sticker from last year, no need for a new one.
Maid/Driver/Guest replacement ID Card 2016-2017
Maid/Driver/Guest ID’s are now available for printing from the temporary ID Card Office (behind the Chevron Theater). The person receiving the card must present himself or herself in person, so as they can get a photo.
The ID Card for Maid/Driver/guest can be done by completing the attached document. See instructions below and please include the necessary documentation listed.
Instructions for applicant
- Print out the attached form.
- Complete application form.
- If the sponsoring Parent/Staff cannot accompany the applicant, he/she may present the sponsor’s non-expiring ISB ID as proof of eligibility.
- Bring old ID card if renewing
- The old card must be returned to ISB.
- Each ISB family will be issued a maximum of three (3) Photo-ID cards for domestic staff. This may be any combination of Maids and/or Drivers. Additional cards (extra staff or staff turnovers) will be provided at a cost of Baht 200.
The new ID card will be valid until August 2017, or as otherwise announced by ISB. We will take the ID photo and issue the ID as soon as possible. In the event of volume delays, the card’s owner may pick up the completed ID during normal office hours (Monday-Friday between 7:00-14.45).
Car/Golf Cart ISB Access Sticker (only required for new families)
For new parents to obtain ISB access sticker, please print and complete the form attached below, attach a copy of the car registration and submit to the temporary ID Card Office (behind the Chevron Theater). The sticker will be issued immediately upon completion of the required documents.
