The Ministry of Transport will tighten enforcement from 1 October 2026 against ride-hailing apps (Grab, Bolt, inDrive, TADA, MAXIM, LINE MAN, Lalamove, FINGOGO), their drivers and vehicles. Platforms must check that drivers hold public-driver licences and vehicles are properly registered before dispatching jobs. Violations are tracked under the "สมุดพก App" system, with penalties from warnings and suspension to revoking app certification, and possible jail or fines. If you run delivery or transport work through these apps, or your drivers and vehicles use them, confirm licences and registration now. Public driver licence applications rose sharply after the June 2026 cooperation pledge.
