Vietnam Vehicle Registration: Switching from 4-Digit to 5-Digit Plates

Last week, a close friend called me with an intriguing question: “Hey, want to visit the temple this weekend to pray for good luck with my new car and its updated license plate? I heard you need a blessing when switching from a 4-digit to a 5-digit plate, right?” His question made me laugh.
