Background
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) has activated three automated digital systems aimed at streamlining transport-related administrative processes and fee collection. MPWT officially activated three automated digital systems to process vehicle inspection validity renewals via partner banks, to issue a digital invoice system (MPWT Digital Invoice), and to manage road certificates; these systems were announced as operational on 3 September 2026.
The activation was presented as part of the ministry’s effort to modernize service delivery and align with national digital government objectives, including electronic fee payment and improved transaction security. The activation ceremony was chaired by Minister Peng Pouthina on 3 September 2026 and included representatives from partner banks, finance institutions, ministry leadership, and ministry officials.
Key Developments
MPWT introduced three specific systems: a channel to request renewal of vehicle technical inspection validity (cheak) through partner banks, the MPWT Digital Invoice platform for electronic billing, and an automated Road Certificate issuance system. The ministry described the rollout as intended to reduce processing time, increase accessibility for the public, and enable electronic payment mechanisms with enhanced authenticity and security.
Operational Implications
Under the new arrangements, vehicle owners can initiate a validity-renewal request for technical inspection via participating banks, while service fees can be processed electronically through the digital invoicing platform. Road certificate issuance will be managed through the automated system to centralize administrative steps and provide a digital record for transactions and payments.
Institutional Role
MPWT oversees transport administration and public works services in Cambodia and is implementing these digital systems as part of its public service modernization agenda. The ministry coordinated with banking and financial partners to integrate payment and verification functions into the transport service workflow.
