The steps to pay the fine are as follows:
Step 1: Determine the vehicle owner's residence
Basis for determination: Based on the vehicle owner's address on the Vehicle Registration Certificate to determine the vehicle owner's place of residence.
Note:
In case the vehicle owner has moved his/her residence but has not changed the information on the Vehicle Registration Certificate, the vehicle owner's residence when paying the fine will be calculated according to the information on the vehicle registration.
For example: Car with license plate 98A-000.xx, address on Vehicle Registration is Tran Phu Ward, Bac Giang City, then go to Bac Giang City Police to pay the fine.
Step 2: Violators need to prepare documents
Vehicle registration certificate; Certificate of technical safety and environmental protection inspection (for cars); Valid certificate of civil liability insurance of the motor vehicle owner (of the violating vehicle).
Driver's license; Citizen identification card (of the offender).
Note: Make a photocopy of the above documents to keep at the police station (except for violation notices which do not need to be photocopied).
Step 3: View the violation image and sign the report
Based on the appointment time for settlement on the Notice, the vehicle owner and driver shall go to the District Police where the vehicle owner resides to complete the fine payment procedures.
Violators are shown images of the violation and notified of penalties for their violations.
After identifying the vehicle driver, the traffic police will ask the violating vehicle driver to report the violation; make a record of the administrative violation according to regulations, and set a date to receive the penalty decision.
Step 4: Receive penalty decision and pay fine.
On the appointment date, the violator receives the Penalty Decision at the police agency (workplace in step 3).
