BKS – More Than Just a Random Sequence

BKS – A Vehicle’s Identity Card

Simply put, BKS (Biển Kiểm Soát Xe Cơ Giới), or Vehicle Registration Plate, is the “identity card” of every motor vehicle in Vietnam. It helps authorities manage and citizens identify vehicles. Each number and letter on the BKS carries a specific meaning, indicating the province of registration and the vehicle’s characteristics.

The Spiritual Significance of License Plates

Beyond just a series of numbers, license plates are often associated with spiritual and feng shui elements. It’s believed that choosing a beautiful and auspicious plate can bring good luck, prosperity in business, and a smoother life. For instance, plates containing lucky numbers like 3, 6, 8, and 9, often symbolizing wealth and prosperity, are highly sought after.
