Specifically, for Vietnamese guests, provide citizen identification information; personal identification code if the citizen is not old enough to be issued a citizen identification card.

For international guests, provide passport and nationality information. In case the guest is a child or a person who is not eligible for documents, it is necessary to provide information of the guardian or guarantor including full name, ID card/passport number and contact phone number for verification.

All identification information is provided to ticket sellers and inspectors of the Ha Long-Yen Tu World Heritage Management Board at Ha Long International Passenger Port and Tuan Chau International Passenger Port. This information is only used for the purpose of managing tourism activities in Ha Long Bay according to current regulations, ensuring security, data safety and privacy of visitors. Currently, when visiting Ha Long Bay, visitors only need to provide their name, age, gender and nationality.

The Ha Long Bay-Yen Tu World Heritage Management Board said it has requested units to send information and notifications to business units and partners; and to increase propaganda on mass media. The implementation time will start from December 10, 2025 and is expected to complete data collection and application of information technology in ticket sales by January 1, 2026.

Providing complete information to identify and authenticate personal information of tourists visiting Ha Long Bay is an activity to improve the effectiveness of state management of tourism activities in Ha Long Bay, ensure safety and security for tourists, and at the same time gradually build a synchronous database to serve the comprehensive digital transformation of the activities of the Ha Long Bay-Yen Tu World Heritage Management Board.
