According to the Vietnam Registry Office (VRO), the software system will integrate electronic certification of inspections with the vehicle owner’s digital identity account data and the VNeID application. This simplification of administrative procedures will reduce costs and create convenience for citizens and authorities in management, use, and control.
The issuance of electronic inspection certificates also helps detect vehicles using fake registration certificates during inspections. In such cases, the inspection facility (IF) must enter the information into the warning system and notify the local police for handling according to regulations.

According to Decree No. 166/2024 of the Government, from the beginning of this year, there will be an additional case where the motor vehicle inspection facility is arranged together with the bus station or rest stop, and the area requirements will not apply. However, the inspection workshop must comply with the National Technical Regulation on Infrastructure and Location of Motor Vehicle Inspection Facilities and Emission Inspection Facilities for Motorcycles and Motorized Bicycles (QCVN 103:2024/BGTVT).
For fixed emission inspection facilities, the inspection area must have a minimum area of 15m2, corresponding to one emission measurement equipment, and can be shared with motorcycle and moped repair and maintenance facilities.
For mobile emission inspection facilities, there is no need to meet the area requirements, but the equipment and vehicles serving the emission inspection must be permanently installed on the specialized mobile emission inspection vehicle.
In terms of human resources, an inspection facility must have at least one inspector of grade III, grade II, or grade I, and a staff member (the same person can hold multiple positions if they meet the professional standards).
The motor vehicle inspection facility conducts inspections and issues inspection certificates for motor vehicles and performs emission inspections and issues emission inspection certificates for motorcycle and moped owners. The emission inspection facility performs emission inspections and issues inspection certificates to motorcycle owners. The facility with an inspector for special-purpose vehicles will inspect and issue inspection certificates for those vehicles.
The head of the inspection facility must be an inspector of grade II or higher (the previous regulation required a senior inspector or an inspector who has performed the duties of an inspector for at least 36 months). Additionally, Decree 166/2024 does not specify the minimum number of inspectors on the inspection line.
The new inspector grades are grade I, grade II (corresponding to the previous senior motor vehicle inspector and motor vehicle inspector, respectively), and the addition of grade III inspectors for emission inspections. The requirement for promotion from grade II to grade I inspector has been adjusted to five years of experience (previously three years).
