Vehicle inspection opens hotline to look up vehicles with fines

A hotline has just been announced by the Department of Registration to help car owners check whether their car's registration has been suspended due to unpaid fines.

A representative of the Vietnam Register said that vehicle owners can call the hotline 02437684706 to get information related to whether their vehicle is on the list of vehicles that have been denied registration. Vehicle owners can request support to look up information to know the reason for the suspension of registration to avoid the situation of bringing the vehicle for inspection only to discover that they have violated the law and waste time traveling to pay the fine.

Recently, tens of thousands of car owners have been denied vehicle inspection because they have not paid the fine, many of whom only found out when they brought their vehicles for inspection.

For the convenience of the people, the Department of Registration has requested that registration centers nationwide strengthen the information receiving department and notify the vehicle status when customers request support. If the vehicle has a violation warning, the registration unit will specifically notify "up to the present time, the vehicle has a violation notice according to document number... of the agency...", so that the vehicle owner and driver can handle it before taking the vehicle for inspection.

Previously, the head of the Registration Department said he had asked the IT center to research and help vehicle owners look up online whether their vehicle was on the list of vehicles that were denied registration or not.

In recent times, tens of thousands of vehicle owners have been denied vehicle inspections because they have not paid the fines, many of whom only found out when they took their vehicles for inspection. According to regulations, when these vehicles have violated traffic safety laws as recorded by cameras, the police will send a notice to their place of residence. However, many vehicle owners did not receive the notice because they changed their address, or registered their vehicles at one location and stayed at another location and were late in paying the fines. There are also many vehicle owners who deliberately do not pay the fines.

In the first 9 months of this year, the Department of Vehicle Registration received a list of more than 16,000 vehicles that violated traffic safety regulations but had not paid fines. To date, only 5,500 vehicle owners have complied and had their vehicles re-inspected.
