Resolution Resolution No. 66.7/2025/NQ-CP (resolution) was developed by the Ministry of Justice and submitted to the Government for promulgation. The promulgation of the resolution closely followed the Party's viewpoints and policies in Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation and Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW of the Politburo on innovation in law-making and enforcement to meet the requirements of national development in the new era.

The Resolution has adjusted legal documents issued by the Central Government to replace and reduce document components in nearly 800 administrative procedures for many types of documents that have been reduced and replaced by exploiting or using corresponding information from national databases and specialized databases.

At the same time, the resolution also has "open" provisions to replace those types of documents and many other types of documents in general administrative procedures when the published databases complete the mandatory connection and sharing to put into exploitation and use.

The Resolution also clearly stipulates that the agency receiving and handling administrative procedures exploits and uses information already in the databases to replace the components of the administrative procedure handling dossier; does not require individuals and organizations to provide documents whose information is already in the databases announced by the database management agency.

In case the information cannot be exploited or the exploited information is incomplete or inaccurate, the competent authority or person receiving and handling administrative procedures shall request the individual or organization to supplement the dossier components to handle the administrative procedure; at the same time, request the individual or organization to update and adjust the information in the databases according to the provisions of law.

The replacement and reduction of dossier components by information exploited on databases when handling administrative procedures for Vietnamese citizens living abroad, foreign individuals and organizations living and operating in Vietnam is implemented based on the database's responsiveness.

Individuals logging into the National Public Service Portal or the National Identification Application (VNeID) to request administrative procedure settlement do not have to sign interactive electronic forms.

The Resolution takes effect from January 1, 2026. However, for databases that have been announced to have completed connection, sharing and restructuring of administrative procedures before January 1, 2026, it will be applied immediately.
