“Lao Cai far away, what’s your license plate number, tell me now?” – This playful saying, common among long-distance truck drivers, popped into my head as I was researching license plates across Vietnam. Lao Cai, a province in the northernmost part of the country, not only captivates visitors with its majestic natural beauty but also holds fascinating cultural and human stories. And license plates are a unique part of this region’s charm. After a bountiful coffee harvest, my friend in Bao Thang recently purchased a brand new truck to transport his crops. I heard he specifically chose a license plate ending in 68, hoping for “prosperity” and smooth sailing in his business.
Let me tell you, Lao Cai license plates are currently designated with the number 24, as per the regulations of the Ministry of Public Security. My friend in Bao Thang, Lao Cai, said his truck’s license plate is 24C – xxxxx, a clear indication of its Lao Cai origin. But besides 24, what other prefixes are specific to other districts in Lao Cai?
The following table provides a detailed breakdown of motorcycle and car license plates by district in Lao Cai, making it easy to identify the “hometown” of each vehicle:
| No. | District | Motorcycle License Plate | Car License Plate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lao Cai City | 24-B1 | 24A |
| 2 | Sa Pa Town | 24-S1 | 24D |
| 3 | Bat Xat District | 24-B2 | 24B |
| 4 | Bao Thang District | 24-B3 | 24C |
| 5 | Bao Yen District | 24-B4 | 24E |
| 6 | Bac Ha District | 24-B5 | 24F |
| 7 | Muong Khuong District | 24-B6 | 24G |
| 8 | Si Ma Cai District | 24-B7 | 24H |
| 9 | Van Ban District | 24-B8 | 24K |
Like many other regions in Vietnam, the people of Lao Cai place great importance on the spiritual meaning of license plates. For instance, ascending numbers like 34, 67, and 89 are often considered lucky and auspicious. Conversely, numbers like 49 and 53 are often avoided.
Did you know that under current regulations, you don’t need to change your license plate when moving to another province? The license plate remains with the vehicle throughout its lifespan.
Generally, truck and car license plates in Lao Cai follow the national standard. However, you can differentiate them by the letter following the number 24. For example, car license plates in Lao Cai City are 24A, while truck license plates are 24C.
