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 right 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) through the public postal service.

In case the vehicle owner does not submit the Factory Quality Inspection Certificate (with a copy of the vehicle's engine number and chassis number, 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.
