How to register a vehicle without a household registration book?

Vehicle registration does not require a household registration book.

It can be seen that even if the household registration book has not been abolished, this type of document is not required when registering a vehicle. Instead, the vehicle owner can use a valid ID card to carry out the vehicle registration procedure.

To be able to do the motorbike paperwork, the owner needs to prepare the following documents:

+ Vehicle registration declaration form according to form No. 01 issued with Circular 58/2020/TT-BCA.

+ Registration fee documents: including Receipt or Payment slip to the state budget or payment authorization paper through the bank to pay registration fee or other registration fee payment documents as prescribed by law or registration fee payment data information printed from the vehicle registration management system.

+ Vehicle owner's documents: Citizen ID card for Vietnamese citizens or visa valid for one year or more for foreigners.

+ Documents proving the origin of the vehicle.
