“There’s a saying, ‘A thing lasts thanks to its owner,’ but for my friend, it’s ‘A car lasts thanks to its license plate!’ It sounded absurd, but after seeing him repeatedly change his plate numbers based on a fortune teller’s advice, I became curious about their true meaning.”

The Meaning Behind License Plates

Have you ever wondered if license plates are just random numbers to differentiate vehicles, or do they hold a deeper meaning?

From a Management Perspective: License plates help authorities easily control and track vehicle and owner information. Each district in Ho Chi Minh City is assigned a unique code, such as:

  • District 1: 50, 51
  • District 3: 59
  • Cu Chi District: 50
  • Hoc Mon District: 59

From a Spiritual Perspective: Many believe that beautiful, feng shui-compliant license plates bring luck and fortune to their owners. For example, the sequences 39 (God of Fortune), 79 (Big Win), and 68 (Prosperity) are highly sought after. Conversely, some avoid plates containing 49 or 53, considering them unlucky.
