Accordingly, the police stations in 17 wards of the districts and Thu Duc City (formerly the district and Thu Duc City police stations that handled motorcycle registration) are now authorized to register and issue license plates for motorcycles, mopeds, and similar vehicles owned by domestic organizations and individuals with headquarters or residences in the locality, as well as wards in the districts and Thu Duc City that have not yet been authorized to register vehicles.

For the police forces of the 63 communes and towns in Binh Chanh, Can Gio, Cu Chi, Hoc Mon, and Nha Be districts, who have been granted the authority to register motorcycles, they are also granted the authority to register and issue license plates for automobiles and specialized motorcycles owned by domestic organizations and individuals with headquarters or residences in the locality (which fall under the registration authority of the district-level police as stipulated in Clause 3, Article 4 of Circular No. 79/2024/TT-BCA dated November 15, 2024, of the Minister of Public Security regulating the issuance and revocation of vehicle registration certificates and license plates for motor vehicles and specialized motorcycles).

Therefore, in addition to registering vehicles for the first time on the National Public Service Portal, citizens who need to carry out procedures related to vehicle registration and management can go directly to the commune-level police station for assistance.
