1. Legal Age for Vehicle Ownership

According to current regulations, Vietnamese citizens who are at least 18 years old and possess full civil capacity are eligible to register a vehicle in their name.

This means you can purchase a vehicle and become its legal owner upon turning 18, regardless of gender, graduation status, or marital status.

Example: Nguyen Van A, born on May 15, 2003, turns 18 on May 15, 2021. From May 15, 2021 onwards, Mr. A can legally own a vehicle.

2. Exceptions

However, there are some exceptions to consider:

• Individuals Under 18 Years Old:
  • Cannot legally own a vehicle.
  • Parents or legal guardians can register the vehicle in their name.
  • Ownership can be transferred once the individual turns 18.
• Individuals with Limited Civil Capacity:
  • Require a legal guardian to register the vehicle on their behalf.
  • Vehicle purchase and transfer require the guardian’s consent.
