According to the new Circular, the automatic extension of the inspection cycle does not apply to cases where the certificate and stamp of inspection expires before June 3. These vehicles still have to go to the vehicle inspection center to be issued stamps and papers. According to the Vietnam Register, nearly 6 vehicles are under the inspection deadline.
The registry office will organize to look up information about the validity period of the inspection certificate, inspection stamp, and provide an account for the vehicle owner to look up and receive.
Explaining the reason why the Circular only applies to vehicles with less than 9 seats that are not in the transport business, the leader of the Vietnam Registry Department said that this is a group of private cars, the intensity of use is not much. The care, maintenance and repair of vehicle owners is better than that of business vehicles. The pass rate right from the first inspection of this group is high, about 95% of the total number of vehicles. Thus, even if the vehicle is not inspected before the cycle is extended, it is still safe.
According to Circular No. 2/2023 of the Ministry of Transport, passenger cars with less than 9 seats, manufactured for up to 7 years, are exempt from registration for 36 months (previously 30 months). period is 24 months (increasing 6 months compared to before); vehicles manufactured from 7 to 20 years (previously 12 years) with a periodic cycle of 12 months; Vehicles over 20 years cycle is 6 months.
