Expired Truck Permit Fines: Detailed 2024 Penalties
Operating a truck with an expired permit violates traffic laws and incurs administrative penalties. According to Decree 100/2019/NĐ-CP (amended by Decree 123/2021/NĐ-CP), the penalties for using an expired truck permit are:
1. For Truck Drivers:
- Fine: From VND 5,000,000 to VND 7,000,000.
- Additional Penalties:
- Suspension of driver’s license for 1 to 3 months.
- Confiscation of the expired truck permit.
2. For Vehicle Owners (Individuals or Organizations):
If the vehicle owner is the driver or allows someone else to drive with an expired truck permit, the penalties are higher:
- For Individuals: Fine from VND 6,000,000 to VND 8,000,000.
- For Transport Businesses: Fine from VND 12,000,000 to VND 16,000,000.
Using an expired truck permit creates legal risks for drivers and impacts transport businesses. Vehicle owners and drivers must monitor permit expiration dates and proactively renew or re-apply as needed.
When to Re-Apply for a Truck Permit
Besides expired truck permits, re-application is necessary in these situations:
- Lost or Damaged Permit: Permits can be lost, torn, or have faded information due to weather or other factors.

- Permit Revocation: If a business or truck violates transport regulations and authorities revoke the permit, re-application is required after the revocation period.

Frequently Asked Questions About Expired Truck Permits
1. Are truck permits mandatory?
Yes. Truck permits are mandatory for commercial freight transport. Operating without a permit or with an expired permit results in penalties.

3. Do I need to re-apply for a permit if I buy a used truck with a valid permit?
Yes. When you buy a used truck, you must transfer ownership and apply for a new truck permit, as the old permit contains information about the previous owner.

The validity period is usually based on the transport business license or the transport business’s request, but no more than 7 years. Vehicle owners should monitor permit expiration dates for timely renewal or re-application.
