On July 1, 2023, the Minister of Public Security issued Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA regulating the issuance and revocation of registration and license plates of motor vehicles.
1. Is it necessary to change the current license plate to an identification license plate?
Accordingly, Clauses 1, 2 and 4, Article 39 of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA stipulate the transitional provisions 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 that have been registered with 3 or 4-digit license plates are allowed to continue participating in traffic, except in cases where the vehicle owner needs to change to an identification license plate or when the vehicle owner carries out procedures to issue and change vehicle registration certificates, issue and change license plates, reissue vehicle registration certificates, reissue license plates or register to transfer ownership or move the vehicle according to the provisions of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA to revoke those 3 or 4-digit license plates and change to an identification license plate according to regulations.
Thus, according to the above regulations, 5-digit license plates issued before August 15, 2023 that have not yet completed the revocation procedure will be determined as the vehicle owner's identification license plate; if the revocation procedure has been completed before August 15, 2023, that license plate number will be transferred to the license plate warehouse to issue license plates according to regulations.
In case the vehicle has been registered with a 3 or 4-digit license plate, it will continue to be allowed to participate in traffic and will only be changed to a new identification license plate if it falls into one of the following cases:
- Vehicle owners need to transfer identification number plates;
- When the vehicle owner carries out the procedures for issuing and changing the vehicle registration certificate, issuing and changing the license plate, re-issuing the vehicle registration certificate, re-issuing the license plate or registering a name change or moving the vehicle according to the provisions of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA, the 3 or 4-digit license plate will be revoked and replaced with an identification license plate.
