According to the Vietnam Register, motorcycle emission inspection is a new content performed according to the tasks specified in Point d, Clause 5, Article 42 of the Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety.
Some notable new points in the regulations on emission inspection of motorbikes and scooters (motorbikes) are as follows:

About electronic certification
The motorbike emission inspection certificate is an electronic certificate, with data integrated with the vehicle owner's electronic identification account to facilitate people and authorities in management, use and patrol control.
According to the Department of Registration, Circular No. 47/2024/TT-BGTVT affirms the efforts of the Ministry of Transport in administrative reform, procedure simplification, digital transformation promotion, while ensuring efficiency in vehicle inspection, technical safety and environmental protection.
