At the recent 2025 Year-End Review Conference, Vietnam’s Register Department unveiled its vehicle inspection activities for the past year.
According to the report, the vehicle registration network continues to expand through socialization efforts to meet the growing demands of citizens and businesses. By year-end, 292 out of 306 registration centers and branches had resumed operations, with 490 inspection lines deployed nationwide.
From mid-December 2024 to late November 2025, the national registration system inspected over 5.47 million motor vehicles. Of these, nearly 4.73 million met technical standards, while more than 740,000 failed. Common issues included faulty braking systems, excessive emissions, inadequate lighting, and overall vehicle conditions not meeting safety criteria.
Alongside routine inspections, the management of the registration system has been tightened. In 2025, the Vietnam Register Department assessed operational conditions, issued new certifications to three centers in Hung Yen, Tay Ninh, and Nghe An, and renewed or reissued certifications for eight others. This review aims to stabilize operations, reduce violations, and enhance service quality.
In technical testing, specialized centers conducted safety tests on over 1,700 cars, trailers, and semi-trailers, along with thousands of auto, motorcycle, and motorbike components. For emissions, nearly 1,900 samples of cars, engines, and motorbikes were tested to evaluate compliance with current environmental standards.
Parallel to professional activities, digital transformation in vehicle quality management has been accelerated. All 16 administrative procedures related to vehicle production, assembly, and import are now available as online public services. In the past year, registration authorities processed over 33,700 applications and issued more than 471,000 electronic quality certificates, reducing processing times and costs for businesses.
Another notable development is the Ministry of Construction’s plan to restructure the registration system starting in 2026. This includes streamlining public service units, establishing three new registration offices in Hai Phong, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City, and creating two specialized centers for road, rail, and waterway-marine infrastructure.
Additionally, the Ministry is finalizing draft amendments to regulations governing vehicle inspector qualifications. Notably, the inspector classification system is expected to be replaced with task-specific assignments. Proposed changes also reduce academic degree requirements, emphasizing practical experience to better align with the current operational realities of the registration system.
