With offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City, the Royal Thai Consulate provides vital services and support for Thai nationals residing in the United States.  

The consulate’s Los Angeles office is the largest and most advanced; it serves residents in 13 states, from Alaska and Hawaii to as far east as Colorado. 

Kobe Digital was brought in to help the Consulate replace its outdated website with a modern, secure site with streamlined functionality — both for site visitors and Consulate employees.  

The site’s primary function is to offer three fully digital services: passport application and renewal, appointment management, and secure census data collection and storage.  

As a government organization, data security was a major priority for the Consulate, and it was imperative that the website complies with a range of rules and regulations from both the United States and Thailand.  

Kobe Digital built a brand new website with three bespoke digital platforms for the Royal Thai Consulate’s most important initiatives: passport application and renewal, appointment booking, and data management.  

Each highly secure platform is intuitive for both Thai nationals and Consulate employees, and the Wordpress CMS and Pantheon hosting service ensures simplified in-house management of the site moving forward.

In August 2016, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker signed a bill that enabled the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) to have regulatory authority over TNCs (transportation network companies), such as Uber and Lyft.

Gnar redesigned and rebuilt the existing screening application to pull data from multiple background data sources into a decision engine to determine if a driver would be approved or rejected.
