Since 2012, the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam has used a managementsystem which includes software that allows patrol forces to update the statusof a temporarily seized licence.
Previously, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of PublicSecurity had a joint circular guiding coordination and information exchange onissuing and changing licences.
