Nghe An: 186 more commune and ward police officers are eligible to register motorbikes

Fast and convenient for people

Previously, if people wanted to register a motorbike, they had to bring their motorbike to the district police headquarters. In remote areas such as Nam Tot and Huoi Moi, completing the vehicle registration procedure was extremely difficult. Now, when the commune police have been decentralized and authorized to register motorbikes, scooters, and electric scooters, people in the area have saved a significant amount of time, effort, and travel costs.

Holding in his hand the newly issued motorbike license plate 37F1 - 245.xx, Mr. Va Y Xanh, residing in Nam Tot village, excitedly said: Before, I had to travel over 30km to the District Police to complete the vehicle registration procedures, sometimes I did not bring the required documents and had to go back... Now, when I go to the Commune Police to complete the procedures, the distance is shortened by half, not to mention all the procedures are guided enthusiastically, thoughtfully and resolved quickly and promptly, it only took me 15 minutes to complete the steps to register the vehicle and get the license plate. This big change not only helps me save time and travel costs but also makes it convenient to complete the vehicle registration procedures.
