Is it possible to register other cars where the car is registered in Vietnam?
In Article 5 of Circular 16/2021/TT-BGTVT, there are regulations on the location of motor vehicle inspection as follows:
Article 5. Location of inspection
1. Preparation of vehicle dossiers and inspection documents (including cases of revision of vehicle dossiers) of motor vehicles shall be implemented at any register entities in the country.
2. Motor vehicles must be inspected in inspection line. In case oversize motor vehicles cannot enter inspection line, inspect operation and brake effectiveness on test roads outside of inspection line. For motor vehicles operating in islands where roads are not available to reach register authority; motor vehicles operating in areas secured in terms of safety, security, national defense that cannot access register authority; motor vehicles performing emergency missions (natural disaster, disease prevention and remediation), inspection shall be performed outside of inspection authority as per Clause 3 Article 8 hereof.
Thus, according to the above regulations, car owners can register their cars in any registration unit across the country, regardless of the place of vehicle registration.
