No limit on license plate ownership based on place of residence
According to a representative of the Traffic Police Department (Ministry of Public Security), the auction of car license plates is conducted entirely online. Individuals or organizations wishing to participate in the auction need to access the website dgbs.vpa.com.vn to register an account and choose the license plate of their choice.
After successfully registering an account, people can search for the license plate they want to bid on by province, vehicle type and specific number series. Currently, the car license plate auction website has listed more than 153,000 license plates from 63 provinces and cities for people to choose to register for auction.
"People nationwide can participate in the online license plate auction, and they can bid on license plates from all 63 provinces and cities without being limited by their permanent residence or agency headquarters," said a representative of the Traffic Police Department, adding that each person has the right to bid on an unlimited number of license plates.
At the same time, according to regulations, people who have or do not have a car can participate in the auction. Bidders can ask someone else to do the operation on their behalf using their account but must ensure correct information.
The Traffic Police Department recommends that auction participants are responsible for providing valid and accurate information and documents and are legally responsible for the information.
Unsuccessful bidders will have their deposit refunded.
When registering to bid for a license plate, the auction page will display a QR code for people to pay an application fee of VND100,000 and a deposit of VND40 million. According to the authorities, this form is to limit the situation of fake registration, affecting the quality of the auction.
However, the Traffic Police Department said that participants who do not win the auction will have their deposit refunded within three working days from the end of the online auction. At the same time, people also have the right to refuse to participate in the auction and receive their deposit back if there are changes in the starting price, quantity, or quality of the listed and publicly announced assets.
Refusal to participate in the auction must be expressed in writing and sent via email to [email protected] or delivered directly to Vietnam Auction Joint Stock Company three days before the auction.
After successfully paying the money, the person who wants to bid will wait until the auction time of the license plate they have chosen to participate. Each license plate will be auctioned in a session lasting 60 minutes. The Traffic Police Department said that when the auction begins, participants will be able to bid at each price step of 5 million VND. The number of price steps for each bid is not limited.
At the end of the 60 minutes, the highest bidder wins the auction for the license plate. They must register the license plate with the vehicle within 12 months. In case of force majeure, the deadline can be extended by no more than 6 months. After this period, the license plate will be put into storage and the winning bidder will not be refunded the money paid.
Closely monitor the entire auction process
Vietnam Auction Joint Stock Company is the unit that conducts the auction. Professional forces under the Ministry of Public Security such as traffic police and cyber security will monitor the entire process.
At the Traffic Police Department headquarters, the entire monitoring system is ready to connect to data. This system will include many screens, displaying different information fields including: plan number, auction name, start time and end time of each auction, number of auction license plates, number of participating customers, auction progress...
"To ensure absolute confidentiality of customer information, the auction unit has encrypted the information of each customer participating in the auction," said a representative of the Traffic Police Department, adding that during the monitoring process, if any signs of violations are detected, the supervising police officer will type an order to request the auction to be stopped according to the provisions of law.
In case the auction ends according to regulations, the traffic police officer will sign the online minutes (digital signature) and carry out the procedures according to regulations such as issuing notices to the auction winners, collecting money from the auction winners, issuing documents confirming the auction winning license plate...
All steps of car license plate auction from account registration, license plate selection to receiving document confirming the winning car license plate are done entirely online, people will receive the car license plate auction results at home.
Previously, in the plenary session at the hall on the afternoon of November 15, 2022, the National Assembly passed a draft resolution on piloting the auction of car license plates with 473/489 delegates participating in the vote in favor.
Then, at the end of June 2023, the Government continued to issue Decree No. 39/2023/ND-CP detailing a number of articles on pilot license plate auctions.
According to current regulations, the only case where a vehicle can be sold with a license plate is a vehicle with a license plate that won an auction.
If the vehicle ownership is transferred without the auction winning license plate, the vehicle owner must submit the application and complete the license plate revocation procedure. The new vehicle owner then completes the vehicle registration transfer procedure according to regulations. The vehicle buyer then completes the vehicle registration transfer procedure and will be able to register and retain the auction winning license plate.
The person who receives the transfer of ownership of the vehicle with the winning license plate will not be allowed to transfer the ownership of the vehicle with the winning license plate to another person. Selling the vehicle alone without the winning license plate is not prohibited.
The pilot license plate auction will last for three years.
