Do Thanh Binh, deputy head of the department under the Ministry of Public Security, said that local people can visit the portal of the department to make vehicle registrations and access relevant services.

The police will reply to vehicle registration requests by email or phone.

The online services are expected to help local people save time and reduce one-on-one contact to avoid the risk of Covid-19 transmission, Binh said.

Through the portal, they can also report lost vehicles, vehicle registration certificates, number plates and other vehicle-related documents; damaged vehicles that cannot be used; expired vehicles; sold vehicles whose ownership has yet to be transferred, without having to visit the local competent agencies.

Once the applications for vehicle registration services are completed, people can opt to visit the local competent agencies to get the results or receive them by post.
