Getting Your New Motorcycle Registered in Vietnam: A Comprehensive Guide

“Buying a motorcycle is easy, getting it registered is the hard part” – a saying that rings true for many Vietnamese motorcycle buyers, especially first-timers. So, what’s different about registering a new motorcycle? What’s the process? This article will answer all your questions!

What’s Special About Registering a New Motorcycle?

Many people mistakenly believe that a “hãng” motorcycle refers to one manufactured in Vietnam. However, “xe máy hãng” is shorthand for a brand new, unused motorcycle purchased directly from an authorized dealer of popular brands like Honda, Yamaha, or Piaggio. New motorcycles are issued white license plates, unlike imported motorcycles which receive yellow plates.

So, is the registration process for a new motorcycle complicated? Let’s find out!

The Complete A-Z Guide to Motorcycle Registration

To register your new motorcycle, you’ll need to prepare the necessary documents and follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Required Documents

• Motorcycle Documents: Including the sales invoice, quality inspection certificate, warranty booklet, etc.
• Personal Identification: Your Citizen Identity Card/National Identity Card, and a notarized copy of your household registration book.
• Vehicle Registration Application Form: Use the official form.

2. Submit Your Documents and Complete the Procedures

You can submit your documents directly to the traffic police department in your area or have the dealership handle it for you. You will be guided through the document submission process, vehicle inspection, and other necessary procedures.

New motorcycle registration fees are also a common concern.

3. Receive Your License Plate

After approximately 7-10 business days, you will be notified to pick up your license plate.

Important Notes for Motorcycle Registration

• Carefully check the information on your license plate before accepting it.
• Install the license plate according to regulations.
• Keep your license plate in good condition.

Additionally, many people wonder if Vietnamese car license plate frames can be used on motorcycles. According to current regulations, using car license plate frames on motorcycles is prohibited.

The Spiritual Significance of Motorcycle License Plates

Vietnamese people often attach spiritual significance to license plates, believing they influence fate and fortune. Therefore, many are willing to pay a hefty sum for a lucky or feng shui-compliant plate. Feng Shui expert Nguyen Van A (hypothetical) wrote in his book “Feng Shui of License Plates” (hypothetical): “A beautiful license plate, compatible with the owner’s age and destiny, can bring good luck and prosperity.”

However, you shouldn’t be overly superstitious about this. The license plate is just a small factor; the most important things are safe driving habits and obeying traffic laws.
