“19ª. Procedures for handling of proofs of violation obtained by using technical means or equipment without stopping violating vehicles for security check or imposition of penalties
1. Within 10 working days from the day of detection of the act of violation, persons having jurisdiction to impose fines of the Police having authority over the place where the violation is detected shall take the following actions:
a) Identify information about the violating vehicle, vehicle owner, organization or individual related to the administrative violation via the registration agency and the national population database;
b) For the vehicle owner, organization or individual involved in the administrative violation that is a non-resident person, has their office located at the district where the Police detects their administrative violation, if it is determined that such violation falls under the authority to impose fines of the Chief of the commune-level Police, evidence obtained by using technical means and equipment should be transmitted to the Police of the commune where the vehicle owner, organization or individual involved in the administrative violation resides or their office is located (by using the form No. 01/65/68) for handling of the violation (when the Police is equipped with the online network system);
Where the violation does not fall under the authority to impose fine of the Chief of the commune-level Police or falls under the authority to impose fine of the Chief of the commune-level Police that has not yet been equipped with the online network system, the evidence obtained by using technical means or equipment shall be transmitted to the Police of the district where the vehicle owner, organization or individual involved in that violation reside or their office is located (by using the form No. 01/65/68) for processing and handling of such violation;
c) Send a notice (according to form No. 02/65/68) requesting the vehicle owner, organization, or individual involved in the administrative violation to the headquarters of the police agency where the administrative violation was detected or to the headquarters of the commune-level police or district-level police where the person resides or is headquartered to resolve the administrative violation if it is difficult to travel and there are no conditions to directly go to the headquarters of the police agency where the administrative violation was detected according to the provisions of Clause 2, Article 15 of Decree No. 135/2021/ND-CP dated December 31, 2021 of the Government regulating the list, management, use of professional technical means and equipment and the process of collecting and using data collected from means and technical equipment provided by individuals and organizations to detect administrative violations (hereinafter referred to as Decree No. 135/2021/ND-CP). According to the above provisions, after verifying and clarifying vehicle and violation, the competent officer at the place where the administrative violation occurred shall send a notice to the relevant person according to the residence information on the national population database so that the vehicle owner and driver can come to the office to work. In case the violator does not reside in that area, the violation results with photos shall be transferred to the district-level police where that person resides to resolve and handle the violation case.”
Thus, if you commit a violation at another location, you can still go to the Traffic Police – Order Team, the Police where you reside to resolve it. When you come to work, you only need to present your citizen identification card (or via VNeiD) and the original vehicle registration.
After having a decision to impose a traffic violation penalty, you can choose to pay the fine according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 20 of Decree 118/2021/ND-CP detailing a number of articles and measures to implement the law on handling administrative violations as follows:

a) Direct payment of cash at State Treasuries or at commercial banks where State Treasuries open their accounts specified in penalty decisions;
