Motorcycle License Plate Re-Embossing: When and How?

“My license plate is so old and faded, I’m constantly getting pulled over. I heard it’s possible to get it re-embossed, is that right?” Many motorcycle owners have likely heard of “license plate re-embossing,” but the specifics of when it’s necessary and the required procedures might be unclear. This article by XE TẢI HÀ NỘI will clarify these questions.

When Do You Need to Re-Emboss Your Motorcycle License Plate?

You don’t always need to replace your license plate. According to current regulations, re-embossing is only required in the following circumstances:

• Illegible License Plate: This often occurs with older motorcycles or those frequently exposed to harsh weather conditions, causing the plate to fade or rust.
• Damaged License Plate: Accidents or impacts can bend, break, or distort the license plate.
• Vehicle Registration Renewal or Ownership Transfer: When purchasing a used motorcycle and transferring ownership, re-embossing a new license plate is necessary.

Motorcycle License Plate Re-Embossing Procedure

The process of re-embossing a motorcycle license plate is now much simpler than before. You only need to prepare the following documents:

• Original motorcycle registration certificate.
• Owner’s ID card/Citizen identity card.

Then, bring your motorcycle and the documents to the district police station where the vehicle is registered. Remember to carefully check the information on the new license plate before leaving.

Important Notes

• The cost of re-embossing a motorcycle license plate is relatively low, ranging from a few tens to over a hundred thousand VND.
• The re-embossing process is usually quick, taking only 1-2 days, and sometimes even completed on the same day.
• Some reputable motorcycle license plate service providers in Hanoi include: No. TT36 – CN9 Road, Tu Liem Industrial Park, Phuong Canh Ward, Nam Tu Liem District; public service points at district police stations such as Hoan Kiem, Ba Dinh, Cau Giay…

Does Re-Embossing a Motorcycle License Plate Change Your Fate?

Besides the procedural information, many people are curious about the spiritual aspect of re-embossing a motorcycle license plate. There’s a traditional belief that possessions can influence the owner’s luck.

Mr. Tuan (owner of a motorcycle repair shop on Hue Street, Hanoi) shared: “Many customers who come here to transfer motorcycle ownership and change license plates ask me about choosing a new license plate that aligns with feng shui. They often avoid numbers considered unlucky, such as 49, 53…”

However, according to feng shui expert Nguyen Van An (lecturer at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities), the belief that license plates affect fate is just a folk belief with no scientific basis. The most important thing is to drive carefully and obey traffic laws.
