To soon put the testing and licensing work back to normal, Thanh Hoa Provincial Police are fully preparing the necessary conditions for facilities and organizational structure to be ready to take on new tasks and serve the people as soon as there is an official decision.
To be proactive in the management of road testing and granting road mechanical driving licenses, the Director of Thanh Hoa Provincial Police has directed the Traffic Police Department and relevant functional departments to establish 3 working groups. These teams will directly coordinate with specialized units under the Department of Transport to inspect, review, compare information and organize the handover and receive a complete system of facilities, equipment, records, databases, testing management software, and granting driving licenses.
From there, units develop plans and organization plans to implement them in a strict and synchronous manner, avoiding loss and ensuring that the testing and issuance of driving licenses are not interrupted, affecting the rights of the people.
The reception and handover of state management tasks on testing and granting driving licenses from the Department of Transport to the Provincial Police complies with 4 principles such as: Arrange and use officers according to standards, avoid creating payroll, streamline the apparatus to ensure effectiveness and efficiency; decentralize and delegate authority to organizations and individuals who are qualified to perform tasks, thoroughly apply information technology and Project 06 to the management process.
Promote administrative reform, improve the quality of online public services, resolve procedures in the electronic environment, digitize processes; the process of handing over and receiving tasks must ensure the operations of agencies and organizations take place continuously, without interruption, without affecting people and businesses.
Organizing training

The Provincial Police also requested the Department of Transport to directly guide and coordinate in receiving documents for changing and reissuing driving licenses, granting international driving licenses both directly and through the Public Service Portal; guide the operation and use of driving license management software, the international driving license and driving license printing system.
Regarding the organization of the apparatus and personnel performing tasks, in the immediate future, the Traffic Police Department of the Provincial Police will arrange a permanent team to directly take on management tasks. At the same time, mobilize staff with expertise in information technology to carry out the task.
The Provincial Police urgently organize training courses on regulations, professional procedures for testing and granting driving licenses to ensure that the team of traffic police officers and soldiers have enough qualifications and capacity to carry out new tasks.
