Vietnam’s License Plate Upgrade: 4 to 5 Digits

“Grandpa, our license plate will be changed soon! I heard the 5-digit ones are much nicer and even bring good luck!”, the little boy excitedly told his grandfather while watching the news about the transition from 4-digit to 5-digit license plates. The old man smiled, stroking the boy’s hair, “Yes, the new plates are prettier and more modern, but the most important thing is to drive safely, my dear!”

The Significance of Switching to 5-Digit License Plates

The conversion from 4-digit to 5-digit license plates is not merely a numerical change. It carries significant implications in various aspects:

• Meeting Practical Demands: According to the Traffic Police Department, the number of vehicles has been increasing rapidly, and the 4-digit system has become overloaded. Switching to 5 digits expands the available number pool, meeting the demand for new vehicle registrations.
• Enhanced Management Efficiency: The 5-digit system, with its scientific structure, facilitates easier vehicle management and information retrieval for authorities, thereby improving the efficiency of traffic violation handling.
• Reflecting Development Progress: The adoption of 5-digit license plates marks a step forward in modernizing the transportation system, demonstrating Vietnam’s development and integration.

License Plates and Spirituality

Many people believe that a beautiful license plate, in harmony with Feng Shui, will bring luck and fortune to the owner. For instance, license plates with many number 8s are often favored because, according to folk belief, the number 8 symbolizes “prosperity” and represents success and affluence.

However, Feng Shui experts suggest that license plates are only a minor factor and one should not overemphasize spirituality. Professor Robert Lee, an American Feng Shui expert, in his book “The Art of Balance in Life”, affirmed: “Feng Shui is the science of harmony, not superstition. The most important thing is to live positively and do good deeds, then luck will naturally come.”
