How long is the car registration expired before being fined?
The situation of a series of overloaded or closed inspection centers, as well as tightened inspection work, has caused many car owners to delay, leading to the risk of being heavily fined for overdue inspection.
The 2008 Road Traffic Law stipulates that automobiles, including trailers or semi-trailers towed by them and other types of automobile-like vehicles, participating in road traffic must be periodically inspected for technical safety and environmental protection. At the same time, vehicle owners must be responsible for ensuring and maintaining the safety of the vehicle according to prescribed standards between two inspection periods.

People can download the TTDK application on both IOS and Android platforms, register an account via phone number to schedule vehicle inspection. After registering and logging into the website or application, vehicle owners can monitor the queue status, operating status at the centers and can register for remote inspection without having to bring the vehicle to the inspection location.
Currently, the website and software system of the Vehicle Inspection Center (ttdk.com.vn) has been deployed at 136 Vehicle Inspection Centers in 53 provinces and cities, reaching more than 50% of the total number of vehicle inspection centers operating nationwide.
