The traffic fines API searches the violations of Nghị định 168/2024/NĐ-CP (in force since 1 January 2025), as amended by Nghị định 238/2026/NĐ-CP (from 15 August 2026). Type the violation the way people say it, with or without accents (vuot den do, nồng độ cồn, khong doi mu bao hiem, điện thoại) and filter by vehicle with vehicle=car, motorbike, bicycle (bicycles, e-bikes, rudimentary vehicles), pedestrian, special (special-use machines) or general; a vehicle named in the query (nong do con xe may) is used as the filter. Each result gives the fine range in VND, the driving-licence points deducted (trừ điểm GPLX) and where that deduction is written, the additional penalties and remedial measures, and the exact reference (điểm, khoản, Điều).

Get one entry with id or in the path (/v1/vn-traffic-fines/6.9.b, or 6.9 for a whole clause), list a vehicle's violations with vehicle alone, only the ones with licence points with points=true, or sort by the highest fine with sort=fine.

Coverage: about 350 common violations from Articles 6–10, 12–21 and 34–36, hand-transcribed from the decree text; specialised transport-business rules and the sanctioning-authority articles are not included (the call without parameters returns the coverage). Amounts are for individuals; it is a reference, not legal advice, and late fines by plate (phạt nguội) are not looked up.

FAQ

Is the 2026 amendment included?

Yes. Decree 238/2026/ND-CP (in force 15/08/2026) added a warning for missing child seats, rewrote the plate-recognition and 16–18-year-old rider rules and added a few transport fines.

Does it check fines by licence plate?

No. Late fines (phạt nguội) are published by the traffic police behind a captcha; this API only describes the rules.

Are the fines for companies the same?

No: the amounts are for individuals; organisations pay twice as much unless the decree sets a separate amount (fine_org_min / fine_org_max).
