How is place of birth information adjusted if it changes?
Regarding the issue of transferring and synchronizing documents after the arrangement of administrative units, the country still has 34 provinces and cities, Colonel Vu Van Tan - Director of the Department of Administrative Management of Social Order Police ( Ministry of Public Security ) said: "People are not required to re-issue citizen identification cards after merging administrative units, except in cases where it is required to re-issue".
According to Colonel Vu Van Tan, in cases where the certificate has expired or needs to be reissued, the information will be updated according to the new administrative unit. For example, a person whose old place of birth is in commune/ward-province/city A, if the administrative unit is adjusted to a different name, when reissuing the certificate, the competent authority will adjust it to the new commune/ward-province/city name in the same location.
"For the convenience of the people, the authorities are currently advising on issuing and changing ID cards for people in need on the public service portal. People will not need to go directly to the police station," said Colonel Vu Van Tan.

Accordingly, the authorities will update population data and be ready to issue and reissue ID cards to citizens after a new resolution is issued. The process will be convenient and uninterrupted. After a decision to adjust administrative boundaries is made, the change information will be updated on the VNeID application. However, to facilitate personal transactions, the Ministry of Public Security encourages people to issue, reissue, or reissue citizen identification cards after mergers and changes in administrative boundaries. Citizens will be exempted from fees when issuing and reissuing.
