Hanoi (VNA) - The Prime Minister has approved the streamlining of administrative procedures related to business and production activities in three areas: electronic identification and authentication, immigration management, and traffic safety.
According to Decision No. 1891/QD-TTg, the processing time for issuing certificates of eligibility to provide electronic authentication services will be reduced from 46 days to 31 days. Amendments to such certificates will take 27 days instead of 40, while reissuance will be shortened from 3 days to 2 days.
The PM also approved reductions in driver’s license processing times: issuance from 7 working days to 4.5 days (cut by 2.5 days); renewal from 5 days to 3.5 days (cut by 1.5 days); and reissuance from 5 days to 3.5 days (cut by 1.5 days). In addition, the procedure for reissuing licenses for driving test centres of types 1, 2, and 3 in cases of damage, loss, or test centre name changes will be abolished.
Under the simplification plan, procedures such as full-process online initial vehicle registration for domestically assembled or imported vehicles, renewal and reissuance of vehicle registration certificates and license plates (either online or in person) will now include integration of registration results into individuals’ VNeID accounts. Registration fees will also be reduced by 30% compared with current levels in centrally run provinces and cities.
The PM further approved a 30% fee reduction for temporary vehicle registration, applicable whether processed fully online, partially online, or directly.
For registration and issuance of license plates in cases of ownership transfer, an electronic transaction system for ownership transfer will be piloted via the National Public Service Portal, initially in localities with complete marriage data. Electronic ownership transfer records will replace notarized or certified vehicle sales contracts, saving time and costs for citizens.
Registration results will be integrated into VNeID accounts of individuals, alongside a uniform 30% reduction in vehicle registration fees nationwide./.
