Vietnam Vehicle License Plates: A Guide to Regional Codes

Do you ever wonder if you can tell where a vehicle is from just by looking at its license plate? Yes, you can! A license plate acts as the vehicle’s “ID card,” and the first digits are the “regional code”—representing one of the 64 provinces in Vietnam.

The Significance of Vietnam’s 64 Provincial License Plates

Identification Codes and Historical Context

License plates are not just random numbers; they carry a historical narrative. In the early days, vehicle management was rudimentary, with license plates assigned by individual provinces and cities. Over time, with the development of transportation, the license plate system was gradually standardized nationwide.

Regional Distinction and Traffic Management

Each province has a unique code, facilitating efficient management and control of vehicles by authorities. This system streamlines tracking a vehicle’s origin and travel history.
