Vietnam: Procedures for re-issue of certificates of eligibility for motor vehicle inspection

According to Decree No. 139/2018/ND-CP of Vietnam’s Government, procedures for re-issue of certificates of eligibility due to revocation are the same as procedures for the initial issue.

- If the certificate of eligibility is lost or damaged, the registration unit may send a written request for re-issuance to the Vietnam Register. The Vietnam Register shall rely on records to re-issue the certificate of eligibility after 5 working days since receipt of the written request, clearly specifying that the certificate of eligibility is issued and then invalidate the lost or damaged certificate.

- If the registration unit changes its location, premises, inspection station, re-arrangement of inspection lines different from those mentioned in the issued certificate of eligibility or changes inspection equipment which affects the number of inspection lines permitted for operation, it shall notify the Vietnam Register of such changes (enclosed with a document proving compliance with facilities and inspection lines in National Technical Regulation). Within 5 working days from receipt of the notice, the Vietnam Register shall inspect and verify the change. If the request for change meets the requirement, a certificate of eligibility shall be issued within 5 working days; failing which, the Vietnam Register shall, within 5 working days, send a notice to the registration unit to correct objectionable conditions and for re-inspection.

- If the registration unit makes any change in personnel affecting the number of lines permitted for operation, it must notify the Vietnam Register of such change. The Vietnam Register shall, based on the application which is being kept, re-issue a certificate of eligibility within 5 working days from receipt of the notice.
