Ho Chi Minh City has updated administrative procedures regarding vehicle registration and emissions testing. Managed by the Department of Construction, the new protocols govern the issuance and re-issuance of certificates for motor vehicle inspection and motorcycle/moped emission testing facilities.

The updated timelines for new certificates involve several stages, including dossier reception, field inspection, and issuance, totaling approximately 13 days. Re-issuance processes are shorter, with options for in-person, postal, or online applications. These changes are intended to decentralize and simplify administrative tasks in alignment with regulations from the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Transport, and they do not incur additional fees.
