Do Temporary License Plates Require Vehicle Inspections?

The Importance of Vehicle Inspections and Temporary License Plates

A vehicle inspection acts as a guarantee that your vehicle meets safety standards for road use. A temporary license plate, on the other hand, serves as a temporary permit for newly manufactured vehicles or those undergoing ownership transfer.

So, Do Vehicles with Temporary Plates Need Inspections?

The answer is YES. Traffic laws make no exceptions for vehicles with temporary license plates. Even with a temporary permit, your vehicle must undergo a rigorous inspection to ensure its technical safety.

Imagine you’ve just purchased a powerful pickup truck, sporting a shiny new temporary plate. You’re eager to hit the road but overlook the vehicle inspection. What happens? You could face a fine of 2-3 million VND!

How to Get a Vehicle with a Temporary Plate Inspected?

The inspection procedure for vehicles with temporary plates is similar to that of vehicles with regular plates. You’ll need to prepare:

• Personal identification documents (ID card/Citizen ID/Passport)
• Vehicle registration certificate (original)
• Valid civil liability insurance certificate for the vehicle owner
• Inspection report on technical safety and environmental protection for imported vehicles (for imported vehicles)

Note: Some inspection centers may require additional documents. It’s recommended to contact them beforehand for specific instructions.
