“A license plate is like a person’s ID card, changing it is like giving your beloved vehicle a new look,” shared Mr. Nguyen Van A, a long-time truck driver in Hanoi. Is the process of changing a 4-digit license plate to a 5-digit one for trucks complicated and cumbersome, or “as easy as pie”? The article below will be a detailed guide to help you “transform” your truck’s license plate quickly and conveniently.

The Significance of Changing from a 4-Digit to a 5-Digit License Plate

From a Feng Shui Perspective

Many drivers believe that a beautiful license plate, in harmony with feng shui, will bring luck and fortune on every journey. Changing from a 4-digit to a 5-digit plate is seen as a way to “choose a lucky number,” creating more confidence and peace of mind for the owner. According to feng shui expert Le Ngoc B (HCMC), if the sequence of numbers on the new license plate is carefully chosen and harmonizes with the five elements and the owner’s destiny, it will help “protect” the owner, “avoid misfortune,” and ensure “smooth travels on all roads.”

From a Legal and Management Perspective

Changing license plates from 4 to 5 digits is a mandatory regulation to meet the increasing demands of vehicle management. A 5-digit license plate helps increase vehicle information storage capacity, facilitates easier lookups and control, and limits the occurrence of fake or counterfeit vehicles.
