Therefore, according to Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA, citizens are allowed to register vehicles at their temporary residence from August 15, 2023.
For example, if you have a registered permanent address in Hanoi but live and work in Ho Chi Minh City, you need to register for temporary residence in Ho Chi Minh City. Then, you can buy and register your vehicle right in Ho Chi Minh City.
