Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Starting July 1 of this year, newlyacquired vehicles might no longer be required a mandatory mechanic examinationduring registration for road use under a new policy being mulled.

According to Vietnam Register, new vehicle owners would need onlypresent the vehicle registration certificate to a local registration centre toobtain the necessary registration stamp and purchase the road maintenance fee.

The motivation behind this policy shift is to streamline theregistration process and provide greater convenience for individuals andbusinesses.

By eliminating the need to bring new cars to registration centresphysically, significant time and cost savings are expected to be realised.

The agency said that cars under nine seats are exempt from thefirst registration fee for 30 months, while trucks are exempt for 24 months.

According to the agency's calculation, each vehicle owner willsave from 250,000-570,000 VND (10.50-24 USD), depending on the type of vehicle,if they are exempt from the first registration fee.

Previously, the agency submitted an amendment draft to Circular16/2021/TT-BGTVT of the Ministry of Transport on the verification of technicalsafety, and environmental protection and speeding up the completion ofregulations on the first-time registration exemption for new vehicles.

In addition, the agency will continue to build a morecomprehensive management system through the registration application, wherepeople can book a verification appointment and pay all fees online.

The National Traffic Safety Committee statistics show that about548,000 new cars were registered nationwide last year.

If the proposal had been applied since last year, hundreds ofbillions of VND could have beensaved.

Currently, many vehicle registration centres have been closed downamid a widening investigation into systemic corruption case taking place at VietnamRegister.

As of March 1, 2023, there are 281 registration centres across thenation with 489 evaluation systems. 59 centres have been suspended, mostly in Hanoiand HCM City, leading to serious backlog of vehicles waiting for their turns.

About 1,500 vehicle inspectors are currently working, while thereneed to be at least about 2,000 inspectors to meet the public demands,according to authorities./.
