How to identify real and fake vehicle registration

According to regulations, in addition to being confiscated and fined for using licenses not issued by state agencies, vehicle owners can also have their vehicles seized. Therefore, it is very necessary to recognize real and fake vehicle registration cards.

Use the naked eye to observe

Check the embossed pattern

The front of a genuine vehicle registration document, when magnified 30 times, the background pattern is still continuous and sharp. With a fake registration document, when magnified, the pattern is broken, with many different ink particles interwoven. Vehicle owners can use this trick to distinguish with a smartphone or magnifying glass.

Check the letters and numbers on the paper

The legal regulations on clerical work clearly state: Do not use pencils, red pens or other types of ink that fade easily to sign contracts and documents. (According to the provisions of Clause 5, Article 10 of Decree 110/2004 ND-CP).

Therefore, all important documents are written in blue ink by the competent authorities. This helps to distinguish between the ink used in signature pens and the ink used in printers and scanners.

In addition, you can use the naked eye to observe the lines of the signature and numbers. Normally, the signature will have ink streaks. Because the ink does not dry quickly, it will seep into the paper fibers. You need to observe carefully to detect it. When forging documents, the signature is scanned or printed, so the ink will be perfect, without streaks.

As for the chassis numbers and registration plates, if issued by a government agency, the series of numbers will usually not be aligned and will be quite scattered. Because the numbers are printed using stamps instead of regular printing. As for fake documents, they are made using scanning and printing technology, so the numbers will be aligned.

Embossed veins of the issuing authority

On genuine documents, you will notice a diagonal line running from the lower left corner to the upper right corner on the back. You can use light from a lamp to see it or look at it sideways in the sun.

Using UV light

On e-commerce sites, UV lamps (counterfeit money detectors) are widely sold. You can use this lamp to shine directly on the vehicle registration. If you see the national emblem clearly, the registration is genuine.
