First-time vehicle registration for domestically produced and imported vehicles will be fully online. Online or in-person renewals and reissues of registration certificates and license plates will receive a 30% discount on fees. Results will be integrated into the VNeID app. Temporary vehicle registration will also be available fully or partially online, with a 30% fee reduction.

In localities with sufficient marital data, the government will pilot online registration certificate and license plate issuance through the public service portal for vehicle ownership changes, saving citizens time and money.

The prime minister also decided to eliminate the reissue of testing permits for type 1, 2, and 3 driving test centers in cases of damage, loss, or name changes. These permits will become electronic, with online adjustments for name changes.
