Applications filed with departments of transport before February 19 will continue to be processed by those departments. However, any applications submitted from February 19 onwards will fall under the jurisdiction of MPS.

In Hanoi, the city’s Department of Transport continued to handle new license issuances, renewals and driving tests until February 19. After this date, it will cease accepting new applications, pending further directives from MoT.

To prevent disruptions in the licensing process during the transition, the Directorate for Roads has urged departments of transport to review and forecast the required stock of blank license cards needed for issuances and renewals until February 2025.

Departments must report their projected usage up to February 19 and through to February 28 to enable centralized data collection and manufacturing orders, the Directorate stated.

Hanoi’s Department of Transport assured that any significant policy changes will be promptly communicated to the public to avoid interruptions in the licensing process.
