Through the work of ensuring traffic order and safety, if the traffic police force detects an expired car, farm vehicle, homemade 3-wheeled or 4-wheeled vehicle participating in traffic in the area, they will make a record, suspend the vehicle's circulation, temporarily confiscate the vehicle's registration certificate and license plate and handle it according to the provisions of law; at the same time, notify in writing the traffic police agency where the vehicle was registered to carry out the procedure of revoking the vehicle's registration certificate and license plate.

Within 15 days from the date of notification, if the vehicle owner does not voluntarily come to complete the procedures, the traffic police will coordinate with the commune-level police to revoke the vehicle registration certificate and license plate. The traffic police will notify the list of expired vehicles to the police units and localities tasked with ensuring traffic order and safety for detection and handling in accordance with the provisions of law.
