Vietnamese Motorcycle License Guide: Types, Costs, and Requirements
The other day, while waiting at a red light at the Giải Phóng – Trường Chinh intersection, I overheard a motorbike taxi driver complaining: “Nowadays, the roads are full of trucks and containers, it’s terrifying!”. Next to him, a sugarcane juice vendor chuckled: “They have proper licenses, big vehicles but they drive smoothly, what’s there to be afraid of!”. Hearing that, I suddenly remembered a common question many people have when first learning about driver’s licenses: What type of license is needed for a motorcycle?
This article by XE TẢI HÀ NỘI will answer all your questions about motorcycle licenses in Vietnam, helping you feel confident when participating in traffic.
Vietnamese Motorcycle License A1
Motorcycle License Categories in Vietnam
According to current regulations, motorcycle licenses are divided into 3 categories, suitable for each type of vehicle and engine displacement:
- Category A1: For two-wheeled motorcycles with engine displacement from 50 cm3 to under 175 cm3.
- Category A2: For two-wheeled motorcycles with engine displacement from 175 cm3 and above, and vehicles specified for A1 licenses.
- Category AM: For two-wheeled motorcycles with engine displacement under 50 cm3.
As you can see, common motorcycles usually fall under category A1.
Example: My friend’s Honda Wave Alpha in Thanh Xuân only requires an A1 license to legally roam the streets of Hanoi.
