On June 2, the Ministry of Transport issued Circular No. 08/2023 amending and supplementing a number of articles of Circular No. 16/2021 of the Minister of Transport regulating technical safety and environmental protection inspection of road motor vehicles.
Accordingly, the scope of automatic extension of the inspection cycle includes passenger cars with up to 9 seats that are not used for transportation business and have been granted certificates and inspection stamps before March 22, 2023 and are still valid for inspection as of the effective date of the Circular (June 3). The inspection agency must automatically issue confirmation of the validity period of the certificate and inspection stamp for the vehicle.
Private cars will have their inspection period automatically extended by 6 months from June 3.
The issuance of certificates of inspection cycle extension for the above vehicles is valid until March 22, 2026.
Calculations by the Ministry of Transport show that more than 1.9 million vehicles have their Certificates and Inspection Stamps automatically confirmed for an additional 6 months without having to go to motor vehicle inspection centers.
According to the Vietnam Register, it is expected that more than 1.9 million non-commercial vehicles with up to 9 seats will have their inspections postponed for another 6 months. This will enable inspection units to focus their human resources and facilities on servicing vehicles that are overdue but have not yet been inspected; at the same time, it will resolve congestion and ensure that vehicles are put into operation soon.
According to the new Circular, the automatic extension of the inspection cycle does not apply to cases where the certificates and inspection stamps expire before June 3. These vehicles still have to go to the vehicle inspection center to get the stamps and papers. According to the Vietnam Register, nearly 155,600 vehicles are currently overdue for inspection.
The inspection agency will look up information about the validity period of the inspection certificate and inspection stamp, and provide an account for vehicle owners to look up and receive.
Explaining the reason why the Circular only applies to vehicles with less than 9 seats that are not used for commercial transport, the leader of the Vietnam Register said that this is a group of personal vehicles with low usage frequency. The care, maintenance and repair of vehicle owners is better than that of commercial vehicles. The pass rate from the first inspection of this group is high, about 95% of the total number of vehicles. Thus, even if the vehicle is not re-inspected before the extended cycle, safety is still guaranteed.
