From August 15, 2023, the police will issue and manage license plates according to the identification code of the vehicle owner. So how are license plates of vehicles not in the owner's name identified? Will they be identified according to the old or new owner?
How are unregistered vehicles identified?
According to Article 39 of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA, for vehicles that have registered a 5-digit license plate before August 15, 2023 and have not completed the revocation procedure, that license plate number will be determined as the vehicle owner's identification license plate number. For vehicles that have registered a 5-digit license plate and completed the revocation procedure before August 15, 2023, that license plate number will be transferred to the license plate warehouse for issuance according to regulations.
Meanwhile, vehicles registered with 3-digit or 4-digit license plates will not be identified and the owner can continue to use them to participate in traffic.
Therefore, identification of non-owner vehicles will be determined as follows:
- Vehicles not registered under the owner's name have a 5-digit license plate: The license plate is assumed to be the identification plate of the person whose name is on the vehicle registration.
Simply put, if a vehicle is registered with a 5-digit license plate that is not under the owner's name, the license plate will be managed according to the identification code of the old owner, not the current user (new owner).
- Vehicles not registered under the owner's name have a 3-digit or 4-digit license plate: The license plate cannot be identified.
The owner of the vehicle can continue to use it for traffic. However, once the ownership has been transferred, the old and new owners of the vehicle must strictly follow the vehicle registration procedures in accordance with regulations to avoid being fined for the vehicle not being registered to them.

Procedures for transferring ownership of non-owner vehicles
Transferring ownership of non-owner vehicles from August 15, 2023 is carried out in the following steps:
Step 1: The previous owner of the vehicle completes the procedures to revoke the vehicle registration and license plate. The vehicle owner fills out the registration and license plate revocation declaration on the public service portal; provides the vehicle registration file code online; and submits the revocation application as prescribed.
In case the car has had many owners, the person using the car can carry out this procedure himself.
Step 2: New owner completes vehicle registration transfer procedures.
The new owner declares vehicle registration online and submits the application and vehicle registration transfer documents including:
- Vehicle registration certificate (if the vehicle has had many owners, clearly state the purchase and sale process and commit to take responsibility for the legal origin of the vehicle).
- Vehicle owner's papers.
- Vehicle ownership transfer documents (in case the vehicle has had many owners, if any, submit the vehicle ownership transfer documents of the vehicle owner and the vehicle ownership transfer documents of the last seller).
- Registration fee certificate.
- Certificate of registration and license plate revocation.
Submit valid documents, the vehicle registration agency will issue identification license plates according to regulations.
