What is a vehicle identification number plate? |=> Posted in Bac Giang newspaper

According to the Traffic Police Department, the identification license plate is not about "using a personal identification code to create a license plate," but rather it is simply a method of managing license plates based on the vehicle owner's identification code.

A man in Nghe An province managed to get a license plate with five consecutive 9s by himself in April 2022.

According to Circular 24/2023 of the Ministry of Public Security , effective from August 15th, car and motorcycle license plates will be issued and managed according to the vehicle owner's identification code, also known as the identification plate. Vehicles registered with 5-digit license plates before the circular came into effect and not yet having their plates revoked will have those plates identified as the vehicle owner's identification plates. If the vehicle owner revokes the plates before August 15th, those plates will be transferred to the warehouse for re-issuance to another person.

To clarify further, a representative from the Traffic Police Department of the Ministry of Public Security stated that "identified license plates" means a method of managing license plates based on the personal identification code of the "license plate owner." The plates will still be issued to citizens according to the current process, and it's not a case of "using the personal identification code as the license plate" as many people understand it.

Currently, each vehicle is assigned a license plate. However, from August 15th, license plates will remain with the owner. For example, if Mr. A is issued a license plate based on his personal identification code, when he sells his vehicle, he can only sell the vehicle itself and must return the license plate to the police. When Mr. A buys a new vehicle, the police will reuse the old license plate to register his new car. At this point, the police will only process the new vehicle registration with the new chassis and engine numbers, while the license plate will remain the same.

For the license plates currently used by citizens, the 5-digit plate will be the default identification plate. Identification plates do not apply to 3- or 4-digit plates. If citizens request it, the police will revoke 3- or 4-digit plates and issue new 5-digit plates for personal identification management.

The police will not limit the number of identification license plates a person can have. A person can own multiple license plates for cars and motorcycles at the same time. Each plate will be assigned to one vehicle.

Managing license plates with personal identification numbers will facilitate easier integration of documents into the VNeID application. Furthermore, managing license plates based on individual identification numbers will support state management and the handling of violations.

For example, the police send a violation notice, but in many cases, the vehicle owner has already sold the car, along with the license plate, to someone else. Therefore, it is very difficult to verify the true owner. Managing license plates using identification codes will prevent this situation.

Supporting this approach, Mr. Minh Hoang, residing in Hanoi , said that issuing and managing license plates based on identification codes would be very convenient. When changing vehicles, he wouldn't have to go through the process of getting a new license plate but could use his old one. With just one personal identification number, he could still be issued multiple license plates for multiple vehicles he owns.

Vehicles cannot be sold with their identification license plates.

According to current regulations, when selling a vehicle, people have the right to "sell the vehicle along with the license plate." The buyer will use the vehicle with the license plate of the previous owner.

However, Circular 24/2023 stipulates that when selling a vehicle, the owner must retain the registration certificate and license plate and cannot hand them over to the new owner. The previous owner must return the registration certificate and license plate to the police for revocation. This license plate will be reissued when the owner registers another vehicle under their ownership.

The license plate is retained by the vehicle owner for 5 years from the date of registration and license plate revocation. After this period, the police will retrieve it and put it into the number pool to register another vehicle.

Therefore, from August 15th, only one type of vehicle will be allowed to be sold with license plates: vehicles with license plates obtained through auction.

If a car is sold along with its auctioned license plate, the owner does not have to return the auctioned license plate but must submit a copy of the vehicle ownership transfer document and present the original for verification. The buyer will then register the vehicle in their name and retain the auctioned license plate. The ownership transfer document must clearly state "transfer of vehicle along with auctioned license plate".

The person who receives the ownership of the vehicle, along with the winning license plate, is not allowed to transfer ownership of the vehicle and license plate to another person. However, selling only the vehicle without the winning license plate is not strictly prohibited.

The first auction of car license plates is expected to be held in mid-August 2023.

On the morning of June 30th, at a press conference of the Ministry of Public Security regarding the auction of car license plates, Major General Le Xuan Duc, Deputy Director of the Traffic Police Department, stated that from July 15th to July 20th, 2023, the list of car license plates to be auctioned will be posted on the national auction website, the Ministry of Public Security's electronic portal, and the website of the Traffic Police Department so that people can see and choose car license plates to participate in the auction.

Pilot program for auctioning car license plates to begin July 1, 2023.

Resolution 73/2022/QH15 dated November 15, 2022, of the National Assembly on piloting the auction of car license plates will take effect from July 1, 2023, and will be implemented for 3 years. Citizens will have the right to choose and compete to own the license plates they desire.
