“The city police have partnered with the Public Administrative Service Center to develop a method for collecting, verifying, and updating vehicle registration and license data. This transition moves from manual processes to digital platforms using the iHanoi app,” said Major General Ky.

“This approach significantly reduces workload and processing time for officers, cuts printing costs, and improves accuracy through data reconciliation with the traffic police department’s national database,” he added.

The Deputy Director emphasized that Hanoi is pioneering the use of digital technology in data collection, verification, and digitization of vehicle registrations and licenses.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Ngoc Me, Deputy Head of the Hanoi Traffic Police Division, explained that the campaign will be rolled out in two phases.

“In phase one, we will promote awareness and mobilize commune-level police units to identify citizens who haven’t yet declared their vehicle data. Officers will encourage and guide residents to submit information via the iHanoi app,” Me said.

“In phase two, updated information will be uploaded to the national vehicle registration system,” he added.

Previously, on October 24, the Traffic Police Department (under the Ministry of Public Security) announced that nationwide traffic police units are reviewing and standardizing vehicle and license data. The goal is to integrate and synchronize this with the national citizen database, ensuring each citizen and vehicle has a unique identification code.

According to the department, this initiative also aims to ensure clean, verified data that is “correct, complete, and secure.” It is expected to prevent fraud, protect citizens' legal rights in matters such as registration, ownership transfer, traffic violations, and digital public services.
