Official: Vehicle Registration Plates for 34 Merged Provinces and How to Register Cars and Motorbikes After July 1, 2025
On July 1, 2025, the Vietnamese authorities will implement changes to the vehicle registration plates following the merger of several provinces and cities. This will result in updated registration plate codes for 34 provinces and cities, along with changes in how car and motorbike registrations will be handled. Let's take a detailed look at what these changes mean for vehicle owners and how to register your car and motorbike after the merger.
1. New Vehicle Registration Plates After the Merger
After the merger, the vehicle registration plates for the 34 provinces and cities will be adjusted as follows:
Each merged province and city will have its own unique registration plate code.
The new registration system will help in better categorizing and managing vehicles, making it easier to track and control traffic flow.
This change is expected to make the management of vehicles more organized and efficient, ensuring better control of traffic and transportation systems.
The local vehicle registration plates will include the plates from the regions before the merger. For example, from July 1st, Bac Ninh will have two registration plates, including plate 99 from the old Bac Ninh and plate 98 from the old Bac Giang province. Similarly, Hung Yen, after merging with Thai Binh, will have plates 89 and 17. Phu Tho will have three plates: 19, 28, and 88, after merging with Hoa Binh and Vinh Phuc...
For the provinces and cities that did not merge, the vehicle registration plate codes will remain unchanged.
A representative from the Traffic Police Department stated that for provinces with two or more plates, the registration plates from the original localities will be issued first after the merger. For example, Ninh Binh province has three plates after the merger: 35, 18, and 90, and plate 35 will be issued first. Once plate 35 is fully distributed, the remaining plates will be issued in order, from the lowest to the highest. This process is similar to how plates are issued in Hanoi, from 29, 30 to 33, 40.
2. How to Register Cars and Motorbikes After July 1, 2025
From July 1, 2025, vehicle owners will need to re-register their cars and motorbikes at the new merged locations. The process will be as follows:
Step 1: Register at the Traffic Police Department or any local police station in the province or city where you reside or have your business office.
Step 2: Provide the necessary documents, including ID cards, vehicle papers, and the purchase agreement (if applicable).
Step 3: Receive the new registration plates and complete the transfer of ownership if needed.
These steps will ensure that vehicle owners quickly complete the necessary procedures and receive their updated registration plates according to the new regulations.
