My card is already registered, and to register a new one, you may need to enter the expiration date of the card, passport number and your date of birth.

Note that “Citizen ID” is for Thais and “Passport” is for foreigners.

If the system reports “invalid data” in response to the entered passport number, then try switching between “Citizen ID” and “Passport” after entering the passport number, or vice versa before entering it. One of these ways worked for me.
