According to the Director of the Vietnam Register, currently there is no more congestion at the centers, some units still have excess inspection capacity from 32% to 45%.
At the conference summarizing the work of the first 6 months of the year on the afternoon of July 10, Mr. Nguyen Chien Thang, Director of the Vietnam Register, said that nearly 90% of registration centers nationwide have resumed operations after a period of closure.
Since March, when the Ministry of Transport issued Circular 02 stipulating exemption from first-time inspection for new vehicles (about 500,000 vehicles/year) and extending the inspection cycle for many vehicles by 3-6 months, most inspection units are no longer congested, and people do not have to queue up for inspection like at the beginning of the year.
Hanoi currently has 27 inspection units operating with 45 production lines and an actual capacity of 2,700 vehicles per day, while the number of vehicles coming for inspection is 1,610, reaching 60% of capacity. Ho Chi Minh City currently has 17 units operating with 33 production lines and an actual capacity of 1,980 vehicles per day, while the number of vehicles coming for inspection is 1,355, reaching 68% of capacity.

In addition, Circular No. 08 automatically extends the registration, allowing 1.4 million passenger cars with up to 9 seats that are not used for transportation business to continue using the Certificate and Inspection Stamp for another 6 months without the vehicle owner having to bring the vehicle to the inspection unit for re-inspection. This regulation also helps reduce the burden on inspection units. The centers can focus their human resources and inspection facilities on transportation business vehicles and vehicles with expired inspections that are in backlog.
Instead of spontaneously taking their vehicles for inspection as before, people have developed the habit of registering online to make appointments, helping the inspection industry proactively arrange work. The new regulations contribute to raising awareness and responsibility of vehicle owners, maintaining and repairing vehicles before inspection.
Director Nguyen Chien Thang said that the Vietnam Register will review regulations related to financial mechanisms, service prices, and technical safety and environmental protection inspection fees for motor vehicles to propose amendments to fully cover inspection costs and limit negative incidents in motor vehicle inspection.
The Department will also review the entire system of legal documents to amend and improve the effectiveness of state management in the field of vehicle registration, in conjunction with inspection, examination, and prevention of negativity. This agency also develops a project "Innovation of state management in the field of vehicle registration", separating state management functions such as licensing, inspection, and examination at the central and local levels. Vehicle registration centers of the police, military forces, and warranty and maintenance facilities are allowed to participate in providing vehicle inspection services.
The large-scale investigation of inspection centers began in December 2022 when Ho Chi Minh City Police searched a series of inspection centers on the outskirts of Saigon and the Western provinces. On December 18, 2022, the first 18 people were prosecuted for the crime of Giving, Receiving, Brokering Bribes and Forgery in Work. After that, dozens of centers had to close, hundreds of inspectors were summoned for investigation. At the beginning of the year, the situation of overloading and queuing for inspection occurred nationwide.
