To operate a taxi service legally in Vietnam, an enterprise must complete two primary legal procedures:

The detailed process for each stage is outlined below.

  • Seal Engraving: The enterprise determines its own seal and can use it immediately after it is made.

Phase 2: Obtaining the Taxi Transport Business License

After receiving the Certificate of Enterprise Registration, the company must apply for a Transport Business License from the Department of Transport (DOT) as regulated by Decree 158/2024/ND-CP.

• Step 1: Dossier Preparation

  • Application for a Transport Business License (as per the form in Appendix I).
  • A certified copy of the diploma or certificate of the person directly managing transport operations.
  • The decision to establish and define the functions of the traffic safety management department.

• Step 2: Dossier Submission and Processing

  • Submitting Body: The Department of Transport where the enterprise’s head office is located.
  • Processing Time:
    • Within 03 working days, the DOT will notify if the dossier requires amendments.
    • Within 05 working days of receiving a complete and valid dossier, the DOT will appraise and issue the license. A written refusal with clear reasons will be provided if the license is denied.
