Presiding over the event, Deputy Minister of Public Security Nguyen Ngoc Lam stated that the transfer follows the 13th Party Central Committee’s Conclusion No. 121-KL/TW, dated January 24, 2025, on reviewing the implementation of the 12-tenure committee’s Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW on streamlining the political system for greater efficiency. Additionally, the Government’s Decree No. 02/2025/ND-CP, which outlines the functions and structure of the public security ministry, officially assigns it to take the responsibility.
The handover marks a significant step in improving state management of road traffic, enhancing traffic safety and social order, he said.
Lam affirmed that his ministry will ensure a seamless transition, maintaining fairness and transparency in driver’s license examination and issuance. He also underscored its commitment to leveraging digital transformation and administrative reforms to facilitate the process for citizens, both at home and abroad.
All preparations for the transition have been completed, allowing the ministry to assume full responsibility from March 1. Notably, administrative procedures for issuing and renewing driver’s licenses remain unchanged during the handover.
