“Buying a car is easy, getting a license plate is hard” – a humorous saying that resonates with many people who have purchased imported vehicles in Vietnam. So, what makes obtaining a license plate for your beloved car such a challenge? Let’s delve into this mystery with XETAIHANOI!
Waiting period for imported car license plates
Unlike domestically assembled cars, imported vehicles often undergo a longer journey to obtain official registration. The waiting period can range from a few weeks to several months, or even a year. Why is this the case?
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” – customs procedures are often the first hurdle in your car ownership dream. All documents and certificates must be thoroughly checked and verified. Any discrepancies can result in the vehicle being held at the port, leading to a prolonged license plate waiting period.
To ensure safety for users, imported cars must undergo rigorous quality inspections. This process can take from a few weeks to several months, depending on the vehicle type and condition.
Many imported vehicles arrive in Vietnam as disassembled parts. The assembly and completion of the car at domestic factories also consume a significant amount of time.
After completing the above steps, the car owner can proceed with the license plate registration procedures. The waiting period can range from a few days to several weeks, depending on the region and the status of the application.
| Fee Type | Region | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Fee | Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City | 10% – 12% of vehicle value |
| Registration Fee | Other provinces | 2% of vehicle value |
| License Plate Fee | Nationwide | 150,000 – 40,000,000 VND (depending on vehicle type and license plate) |
| Vehicle Inspection Fee | Nationwide | Approximately 1,000,000 VND |

Vietnamese people often value spiritual factors. Choosing an auspicious day to bring a car home is considered essential. Therefore, in addition to completing procedures quickly, many people seek divine assistance, hoping for a smooth and successful process.
