According to Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA on granting and revoking registration and license plates of motor vehicles, from August 15, 2023, for vehicles not registered under the owner's name with a 5-digit license plate, the default license plate number will be the identification number of the person whose name is on the vehicle registration, not the current user.
Must comply with regulations when transferring vehicles
Accordingly, vehicles registered with 5-digit license plates before August 15, 2023, which have not yet completed the revocation procedure, will have their license plates automatically assigned as the vehicle owner's identification number. Therefore, if citizens want to change the name of the owner, they must comply with the regulations and switch to a 5-digit license plate as the identification number.
Because the identification number plate only applies to 5-digit license plates, vehicles previously registered with 3 or 4-digit license plates are still allowed to participate in traffic.
Since the identification plate only applies to 5-digit plates, vehicles previously registered with 3- or 4-digit plates are still allowed to continue to participate in traffic. However, if people have a request, the police will withdraw 3-digit and 4-digit plates and then issue 5-digit plates to manage according to the personal identification of the plate owner.
Thus, for vehicles that are not registered under the owner's name and have a 5-digit license plate, the license plate is by default the identification number of the person whose name is on the vehicle registration, not the person using it.
The representative of the Traffic Police Department stated that according to the current regulations when buying and selling a vehicle, the vehicle owner must complete the transfer of ownership within 30 days. Therefore, the representative of the Traffic Police Department recommends that people comply with the regulations on transfer of ownership when transferring a vehicle.
How to resolve vehicle registration transfer with multiple owners from August 15, 2023
People who are using a vehicle that is not in their name need to go to the agency that manages the vehicle registration records to complete the revocation procedure and register the transfer of ownership. In case the agency that manages the records is also the place where the vehicle was previously registered, they will not have to complete the revocation procedure.
Regarding procedures, people are submitting documents and completing procedures at the agency that is managing the vehicle registration records.
The user must submit a vehicle registration declaration, clearly stating the purchase and sale process and committing to take legal responsibility for the origin of the vehicle; submit additional documents on ownership transfer of the vehicle owner and the final seller (if any) and pay the registration fee.
According to Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA on granting and revoking registration and license plates of motor vehicles, from August 15, 2023, there will be a number of cases where registration certificates and license plates will be revoked.
In case the user has the vehicle ownership transfer documents of the vehicle owner and the last seller, within 2 working days, the vehicle registration agency will issue a decision to impose a penalty for not completing the repossession procedure. After that, the police agency will register the name change according to regulations. If there is no ownership transfer document, the police agency will issue an appointment to use the vehicle for 30 days.
Along with that, the police agency will send a notice to the vehicle owner, the agency that registered the vehicle and publicly post information about the receipt of registration application; look up the stolen vehicle archive and vehicle registration data. After 30 days, if there is no dispute or complaint, the vehicle registration agency will issue a decision to impose a penalty for not completing the revocation procedure and proceed with the registration transfer.
