The 2023 Law on Identification stipulates the expansion and integration of many citizens' information.

Deputy Head of the Office of the President Nguyen Thanh Ha chaired the press conference and read the President's Order promulgating: Law on Telecommunications; Law on Management and Protection of National Defense Works and Military Zones; Law on Identity Cards; Law on Housing; Law on Water Resources; Law on Forces Participating in Protecting Security and Order at the Grassroots Level; Law on Real Estate Business, which were passed by the 15th National Assembly at its 6th Session.

In particular, the 2023 Law on Identification, effective from July 1, 2024, stipulates the expansion and integration of many other information of citizens and people of Vietnamese origin in other databases into the National Population Database and the Identification Database compared to the 2014 Law on Citizen Identification to serve the application of utilities of ID cards, electronic ID cards, and connection and sharing of people's information.

Deputy Head of the Office of the President Pham Thanh Ha chaired the press conference.

The 2023 Law on Identification also regulates the contents of the identification card, including changing the name of the card "Citizen Identification" to "Identification", amending and supplementing in the direction of removing fingerprints and amending the regulations on information on the identification card number, the words "citizen identification, hometown, permanent residence, signature of the card issuer" to "personal identification number, identification, place of birth registration, place of residence on the identification card...".

The above changes and improvements are to create more convenience for people in the process of using ID cards, limit the need to issue new ID cards and ensure people's privacy; basic ID information of people will be stored, exploited and used through the electronic chip on the ID card.

The Law on Identification also adds the Identity Certificate. This is a completely new document compared to the old regulations in the Law on Citizen Identification. Accordingly, the Identity Certificate is an identity document containing information about the identity of people of Vietnamese origin whose nationality is undetermined, issued by the identity management agency according to the provisions of this Law. The subjects of issuance are people of Vietnamese origin whose nationality is undetermined and who are living at the commune or district level (if there is no commune-level administrative unit) for 6 months or more.

Regarding the value of use, when a person of Vietnamese origin presents an identity card, he/she does not have to present documents or information that has been certified in the identity card, except in cases where the information has been changed or is inconsistent with the information in the National Population Database.

Regarding the issuance and exchange of ID cards at the press conference, Lieutenant General Le Quoc Hung, Deputy Minister of Public Security , said that the National Public Service Portal has integrated this procedure so that people can perform it online because the biometric data is still valid. However, after a relatively long time, people who need to issue or exchange ID cards must go to the nearest police station to collect new biometric data, ensuring that it is correct and complete.

“After the Law on Identification takes effect (July 1, 2024), the collection of iris information in ID card information will depend on the cases of new issuance, re-issuance, and exchange, from which there will be instructions from competent authorities, ensuring speed, timeliness, no intermediaries, and no inconvenience to people,” said the Deputy Minister of Public Security.

Regarding the Law on Real Estate Business, the new point is to collect a deposit of no more than 5% of the selling price or lease-purchase price from customers when the house or construction work has met all the conditions to be put into business to ensure the nature of the deposit (not for the purpose of capital mobilization), with a value large enough for both the depositor and the deposit recipient to consciously comply and meet the requirements and wishes of home buyers.

Regarding the handling of junk SIM cards and junk calls, at the press conference, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Pham Duc Long said that the Telecommunications Law, which was recently amended by the National Assembly, has new regulations on the responsibilities of network operators and the responsibilities of citizens in preventing the above situation. “The Ministry has taken strict management measures on SIM card registration, such as the person registering subscriber information must check with the national population database. However, there is a situation where some people are hired to register subscriber information, and then when checking with the national population database, the information is completely correct, there is nothing wrong. It is just that the user is not the owner, leading to abuse of the subscription, causing junk SIM cards and junk calls,” Deputy Minister Pham Duc Long said...
