The Department of Administrative Police for Social Order (C06, Ministry of Public Security ) said that the Law on Identification will officially take effect from July 1 and will officially change the name of the citizen identification card to the ID card. In addition, the Law on Identification also has many new contents compared to current regulations related to citizen identification.
For the first time, people under 6 years old are issued ID cards.
Accordingly, Article 46 of the Law on Identification clearly states that citizen identification cards issued before July 1 will continue to be valid until the expiration date stated on the card. Citizens who have a need will be issued a replacement identification card.
Citizen identification cards and identity cards that expire from January 15 to before June 30 will continue to be valid until June 30.
Legal documents that have been issued and use information from the identity card or citizen identification card will remain valid. However, the identity card, even if it is still valid, will be valid until December 31.
Also according to Department C06, the Law on Identification stipulates that the new identification card will remove information on hometown, permanent residence, fingerprints, and identification features, and instead include information on the citizen's place of birth registration and place of residence.

To issue this card to this subject, the legal representative of the person under 6 years old completes the procedure through the public service portal or the national identification application. Notably, the authorities do not collect identification and biometric information for people under 6 years old.
Also from July 1, the authorities will issue identity certificates to people of Vietnamese origin whose nationality is undetermined. This is an identification document containing information about the identity of people of Vietnamese origin whose nationality is undetermined and who have been living in Vietnam for 6 months or more.
According to this new regulation, the identity card is valid as proof of identity to conduct transactions and exercise legal rights and interests in Vietnam.
