The initiative, led by the Traffic Police Department, is part of the country’s broader digital transformation in public services. From August 20, successful candidates can access their digital licence through the VNeID application, which is valid immediately for use on the road.
Nineteen driver training and testing centres in the province are now equipped with surveillance cameras covering each stage of the exam. Footage is streamed live to police units and displayed in waiting rooms. Data is archived and available for review by both authorities and candidates.
The system also uses randomised photo verification to prevent impersonation, while automated scoring is applied to theory, course and on-road tests.
“The entire testing process is broadcast live to the waiting room, so everyone can follow it transparently,” said Nguyễn Thị Bích Sương, who recently took a class B licence test at a centre in Gia Lai Province.
Since July, examination centres have used software provided by the Traffic Police Division to compile results, replacing manual processing. “The new software makes everything more objective, faster, and more accurate,” said Đậu Văn Hải, director of a training and testing centre.
Authorities said the system also allows students to take lessons in one province and sit exams in another, thanks to nationwide data connectivity.
Since May 27, 146 driving tests have been organised across the province with more than 47,400 candidates, and a pass rate of 61.3%, police said.
“Digital transformation in driver testing is a strategic move,” said Lieutenant Colonel Lê Hồng Phương, Deputy Head of the provincial Traffic Police Division. “All processes are designed to ensure fairness, transparency and convenience.”
