A Police Daily Report is an official record made at a police station, documenting an incident or event that has occurred.
It serves as a government-issued proof of record and can be used in legal proceedings or to verify facts in various situations.
Common examples include:
- Reporting a lost passport, ID card, or driver’s license
- Recording an accident, argument, or property damage
- Confirming an event related to employment, contracts, or personal disputes
- Supporting insurance claims, visa applications, or court cases
In Thailand, this report is often a first step in protecting your legal rights, as it establishes a clear, time-stamped record that can later be relied upon in both civil and criminal processes.
How to File a Police Daily Report
- Bring your identification document (passport or Thai ID card).
- Go to the police station within the jurisdiction where the incident occurred.
- Clearly describe the incident to the officer.
- Review and confirm the statement before signing.
Once completed, the officer will issue a certified copy of the police report, which serves as your official record.
Too Busy or Not in Thailand?
“You Can Authorize Someone to File It for You”
If you are unable to visit the police station yourself, for example, you live abroad or have scheduling conflicts, you can legally authorize a representative or lawyer to file the report on your behalf.
This is done by preparing a Power of Attorney or Letter of Authorization, which must clearly include:
- Full details of the grantor (the person authorizing)
- Full details of the grantee (the person authorized)
- A specific purpose of authorization, such as “to report a lost passport”
- Stamp duty
The authorized person can then visit the police station, present the Power of Attorney, and complete the reporting process on your behalf in compliance with Thai law.
