From August 1, people can check their license plate numbers online.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Ham Thang - Deputy Head of Traffic Police Department (Provincial Police) had an interview with Nghe An Newspaper reporter about issues of concern to the people.

PV:Could you tell us the specifics of the regulation that from August 1, vehicle owners do not need to bring their vehicles to the vehicle registration office?

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Ham Thang:On June 29, 2024, the Minister of Public Security issued Circular No. 28/2024/TT-BCA amending and supplementing a number of articles of Circular No. 32/2023/TT-BCA dated August 1, 2023 of the Ministry of Public Security regulating the tasks, powers, forms, contents and procedures for patrolling, controlling and handling administrative violations of road traffic by the Traffic Police; Circular No. 24/2023/TT-BCA dated July 1, 2023 of the Ministry of Public Security regulating the issuance and revocation of registration and license plates of motor vehicles.

Accordingly, from August 1, 2024, when registering a domestically manufactured or assembled vehicle for the first time, Vietnamese citizens will not have to take the vehicle to the vehicle registration agency, but will be allowed to stamp the license plate number directly on the Public Service Portal or the National Electronic Identification Application VneID.

Through the public postal service, the vehicle registration agency will send the license plate and vehicle registration to the address registered by the people; upon receiving the registration and license plate, the vehicle owner shall send the vehicle registration agency the Factory Quality Inspection Certificate (with a copy of the engine number, chassis number of the vehicle, and the manufacturer's seal) via the public postal service.

In case the vehicle owner does not submit the Factory Quality Inspection Certificate (with a copy of the engine number and chassis number of the vehicle, stamped by the manufacturer) or the information on the copy of the engine number and chassis number provided is inconsistent with the declared information, the vehicle owner must bring the vehicle to the vehicle registration agency to have the engine number and chassis number rubbed and receive the vehicle registration result.

PV: So, how is the process of submitting the application for vehicle registration and license plate issuance for the first time carried out on the Public Service Portal?

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Ham Thang:The process of submitting the application for vehicle registration and license plate issuance for the first time is carried out entirely on the Ministry of Public Security's Public Service Portal in 5 steps:

“

Step 1: Access the Ministry of Public Security's Public Service Portal at the addresshttps://dichvucong.bocongan.gov.vnby electronic identification account issued by the Ministry of Public Security for citizens.

Step 2: Select menu (Administrative procedures), select procedure “Register and issue license plate for the first time, complete the entire process”. Select “Submit application”.

Step 3: Select the type of vehicle to register: Car or motorbike, and select the vehicle registration location (Temporary address, permanent address).

Step 5: Check the information; click (agree and continue); enter the confirmation code to submit the application and choose to register to receive the results via the Postal service or directly at the vehicle registration agency.

Before receiving the vehicle registration result, the vehicle owner must return the Factory Quality Inspection Certificate with a copy of the engine number and chassis number of the vehicle with the manufacturer's seal. After 2 days of completing all procedures, the vehicle registration agency will announce the result on public services. In the case of registering a car license plate and winning an auction, the announcement will be made after 7 days.

PV: To prepare for this new form of vehicle registration, how have the traffic police in the province prepared, sir?

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Ham Thang:On July 24, 2024, the Provincial Police Department organized a training conference on vehicle registration in accordance with the provisions of Circular No. 28/2024/TT-BCA dated June 29, 2024 amending and supplementing a number of articles of Circular No. 32/2023/TT-BCA dated August 1, 2023 of the Ministry of Public Security regulating the tasks, powers, forms, contents and procedures for patrolling, controlling and handling administrative violations of road traffic by the Traffic Police; Circular No. 24/2023/TT-BCA dated July 1, 2023 of the Ministry of Public Security regulating the issuance and revocation of registration and license plates of motor vehicles.

At the training conference, the Organizing Committee focused on conveying the new points of Circular 28/2024TT-BCA, especially the registration and issuance of license plates for the first time using the full online public service for domestically manufactured and assembled vehicles on the Public Service Portal or the VneID electronic identification application.

Also at the conference, Colonel Tran Ngoc Tuan - Deputy Director of the Provincial Police Department requested the Traffic Police Department to promote its role as a superior unit in guiding, inspecting and supervising the registration work, promptly supporting, guiding and answering difficulties and problems of the Police of units and localities; promptly detecting and proposing to the Provincial Police leaders to strictly handle violations related to the vehicle registration process. In particular, it is necessary to promote the sense of responsibility, convey training content to ensure the most effective implementation for officers and soldiers to grasp and seriously implement.

For the Police of districts, cities, and towns, especially the Commander of the Traffic Police Team, officers and soldiers assigned to register vehicles must focus on mastering the training content and implementation process. Ensure the most favorable conditions for receiving and handling procedures when citizens register via the Public Service Portal and VneID Application. Thereby, contributing to improving the capacity of State management and preventing violations in the process of registering and managing road motor vehicles.
