How many identification plates can a person be issued?
According to Clauses 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, Article 3 of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA, the regulations on granting and managing citizen identification plates are as follows:
- Vehicle license plates are issued and managed according to the vehicle owner's identification code (hereinafter referred to as identification license plates). An identification license plate is a license plate with a symbol, license plate series, size of letters and numbers, and license plate color according to the provisions of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA.
- For vehicle owners who are Vietnamese citizens, the license plate is managed according to the personal identification number.
- For foreign vehicle owners, the license plate is managed according to the foreigner's identification number established by the electronic identification and authentication system or the permanent residence card number, temporary residence card number or other identity card number issued by the competent authority.
- For vehicle owners who are organizations, the license plate is managed according to the organization's electronic identification code established by the electronic identification and authentication system; in case there is no organization's electronic identification code, it is managed according to the tax code or establishment decision.
- In case the vehicle expires, is damaged or ownership is transferred, the vehicle owner's identification plate will be revoked by the vehicle registration authority and reissued when the vehicle owner registers another vehicle under his/her ownership.
The identification number of the license plate is retained for the vehicle owner for a period of 05 years from the date of revocation; after the above period, if the vehicle owner has not registered, the identification number of the license plate will be transferred to the license plate warehouse for registration and issuance to organizations and individuals according to regulations.
- In case the vehicle owner changes his/her headquarters or residence from one province or centrally-run city to another, he/she can keep the identification number plate (no need to change the vehicle number plate).
Thus, according to the above regulations and other regulations in Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA, there is no regulation on the maximum number of identification plates of citizens. A person can own multiple identification plates for cars and motorbikes at the same time, and each vehicle will be attached with a different license plate.
From August 15, 2023, will the identification plate be a 5-digit or 4-digit plate?
* According to Clause 3, Article 3 of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA, vehicle license plates are issued and managed according to the vehicle owner's identification code (hereinafter referred to as identification license plates). Identification license plates are license plates with symbols, license plate series, size of letters and numbers, and license plate color according to the provisions of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA.
* According to Clauses 1, 2, 3 and 4, Article 39 of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA, the transitional provisions are as follows:
- For vehicles registered with 5-digit license plates before August 15, 2023 but have not completed the revocation procedure, that license plate number will be determined as the vehicle owner's identification license plate number.
- For vehicles registered with 5-digit license plates, if the vehicle owner has completed the revocation procedure before August 15, 2023, the license plate number will be transferred to the license plate warehouse to issue a new license plate according to regulations.
- Vehicles registered with 5-digit license plates with the symbols "LD", "DA", "MĐ", "R" are still allowed to participate in traffic, even when changing or re-issuing license plates, except in cases where the vehicle owner needs to change the license plate according to the provisions of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA.
- Vehicles that have been registered with 3 or 4-digit license plates are still allowed to participate in traffic, except in cases where the vehicle owner needs to change to a new identification license plate or when the vehicle owner carries out procedures to issue a new vehicle registration certificate, change the license plate, reissue the vehicle registration certificate, reissue the license plate or register a name change or move the vehicle according to the provisions of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA, then the 3 or 4-digit license plate will be revoked and changed to a new identification license plate according to the regulations.
Thus, from August 15, 2023, the identification number plate is a 5-digit number plate with symbols, number plate series, size of letters and numbers, and number plate color according to the provisions of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA.
