On the afternoon of December 5, with 437/441 National Assembly deputies participating in the vote, the National Assembly passed the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Judicial Records (LLTP).

According to the newly passed law, LLTP information includes: information on criminal records, prohibitions on holding positions, establishing and managing enterprises and cooperatives in cases where enterprises and cooperatives are declared bankrupt by the court.

The competent authority to issue the certificate includes: Department of Professional Records - Ministry of Public Security and Provincial and City Police.

Vietnamese citizens and foreigners who have resided or are residing in Vietnam and are 16 years of age or older have the right to request the competent authority to issue their own temporary residence card. The card issued to individuals includes: temporary residence card No. 1 and card No. 2.

LLTP information and LLTP cards are managed and used in accordance with the law on personal data protection and sensitive personal data.

The new law clearly stipulates that agencies, organizations and individuals are not allowed to request individuals to provide LLTP form No. 2.

LLTP form No. 2 is issued to the prosecution agency according to regulations and issued at the request of an individual so that he/she knows the content of his/her LLTP.

The content of this form includes criminal records; information about prohibitions on holding positions, establishing and managing enterprises, cooperatives, etc.

Agencies, organizations and individuals are also not allowed to request individuals to provide LLTP information or LLTP card No. 1; this can only be done in cases where laws, resolutions of the National Assembly, ordinances, resolutions of the National Assembly Standing Committee or decrees, resolutions of the Government stipulate the need to use LLTP information.

This is to serve the purpose of recruitment, licensing, and practice certificates for occupations and job positions related to national defense, security, order, social safety, and public health, or to protect State information, the legal and legitimate rights and interests of individuals when participating in civil and commercial transactions directly related to vulnerable groups in society.

The Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Temporary Residence also stipulates that Temporary Residence Card No. 1 and No. 2 are issued in electronic or paper form and have the same legal value.

In case the electronic copy has been issued, the citizen's LLTP information will be updated and displayed on VNeID (considered an available information field similar to full name and date of birth).

LLTP information displayed on VNeID has the same legal value as LLTP cards, and is updated for individuals to use when needed without having to request a card.

Reporting on the explanation, acceptance and revision of the draft law before the National Assembly votes, Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang stated that the above regulation aims to create maximum favorable conditions for people to use services anytime, anywhere.

At the same time, this also brings practical benefits to society, people, businesses and state management, saving time, effort and money.

The law also clearly stipulates the procedure for issuing LLTP cards online. This provision does not apply to foreigners or those who do not have an electronic identification. They can request the card in person or via postal service.

The time limit for issuing a temporary residence card is 5 working days from the date of receipt of a valid request. In case of information on a new criminal record or offense that needs to be verified, the time limit for issuing the card may be extended but not more than 15 days.

The law comes into force from July 1, 2026.
