The scope of this answer is “An International Driving Permit”, so it flags what usually causes documents like this to be rejected before summarising the general practice. Before starting, check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps.

Converting a foreign driving licence into a Thai one is done at a transport office.

Where the current and historic names differ, include the name-change evidence in the first batch. International delivery needs shipping and customs time added on top of the document processing time. Strike-throughs without an authorised counter-signature are generally not accepted. If the receiving office publishes its own form or guidance, send it along and the output is formatted to match.
