With an electronic driver's license, can you get a hard copy driver's license?

Legal Consulting Department of Lao Dong Newspaper answers:

Clause 1, Article 19 of Circular 108/2026/TT-BCA of the Minister of Public Security regulating testing and issuing driver's licenses; issuing and using international driver's licenses (effective from July 1, 2026), stipulates as follows:

The Traffic Police Department issues electronic driver's licenses to people who pass the driving test and integrates them into the electronic data system within 02 hours from the time of completion of the driving test. In case people have a need to issue a PET driver's license, the Traffic Police Department or the Traffic Police Department organizes the printing and return of the driver's license within 3.5 working days from the date of completion of the driving test; the return of the driver's license to people who pass the driving test is carried out at the Traffic Police Department or through training institutions (if any), testing centers or through postal services at the request of individuals.

Thus, from July 1, 2026, people who already have an electronic driving license and have a need will be issued a re-issuance of the driving license using PET material within 3.5 working days, from the date of completion of the driving test.
