Your Guide to Obtaining a Driver’s License in Vietnam

The other day, I visited the Hyundai truck dealership on Nguyen Van Linh Street in Long Bien District, Hanoi. Inside the impressive showroom, I saw a young man admiring a Hyundai H100 truck. He was praising its sleek design, powerful engine, and comfortable, modern interior. Then, he turned to me and asked, “Do you think this truck would be good for a delivery service in Hanoi?” I chuckled and asked, “Do you even have a driver’s license yet?” His face fell, and he sheepishly admitted he didn’t.

This scenario is not uncommon. It highlights that while owning a desirable truck is important, a driver’s license is the key to confidently hitting the road and realizing your transportation business dreams. So, what is a driver’s license, and how do you obtain this essential document? Let’s delve into the details with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI.

What is a Driver’s License and Why is it Necessary?

A driver’s license is an official document issued by a competent authority, granting an individual permission to operate a motor vehicle on public roads according to the license class. Possessing a driver’s license is mandatory for anyone wishing to drive a motor vehicle.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van A, a driving instructor at Sao Viet Driving School: “A driver’s license not only demonstrates your ability to operate a vehicle but also reflects your commitment to obeying traffic laws. Moreover, in case of an accident, a driver’s license is crucial evidence for authorities to verify and resolve the situation.”

Driver’s License Classifications in Vietnam

Currently, Vietnam’s driver’s license system is divided into 10 categories: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, C, D, and FC. The most common truck driving license categories are:

• Category C: Authorizes the operation of trucks and specialized vehicles with a design load capacity of 3,500 kg or more, and category B2 vehicles towing trailers or semi-trailers, even if the towed weight exceeds 3,500 kg.
• Category B2: Permits driving passenger vehicles with up to 9 seats, trucks, vans with a design load capacity of up to 3,500 kg, specialized vehicles with a design load capacity of up to 3,500 kg, and vehicles specified for category B1 licenses.
