ID Cards. The Pros (and Cons?)

[papaya]

As an experiment we offered our Thai driving licence cards as identification at the reception of PWTC and they were accepted.  They've got our passport numbers on there, date of birth, etc and presume the Malaysian driving licence is the same.

Having had theiKAD for over a year, I will be renewing my current passport next month, (it still has 3 years to run, but it is full)!

That means I will not only have a new passport but also a new passport number, which will not correspond with my current iKAD.

Given that iKADs are still not being issued, this could be a problem, and might mean that I (the only one in the family) will have to resort to filling in the immigration/landing forms again, and having to have stamps in my passport whilst exiting & entering the country!

Has anyone on the forum, had a new passport issued recently, and can confirm what happens in reality?

Any feedback will be gratefully appreciated.
