Third, the person needing an ID card checks and signs the ID information receipt.
Fourth, the recipient issues an appointment to return the ID card.
Fifth, return the ID card to the location stated in the appointment letter; in case the person who needs the ID card requests to return the ID card at another location, the competent authority will return the ID card at the requested location and the person must pay the delivery service fee.
Procedures for issuing cards to people under 14 years old
For people under 14 years old, the Law on Identification clearly states that citizens or their legal representatives can request the identification management agency to issue an identification card. The order and procedures for issuing the card are as follows:
The legal representative carries out the procedures for issuing an ID card for a person under 6 years old through the public service portal or the VNeID application. For a person under 6 years old whose birth has not been registered, the legal representative carries out the procedures for issuing an ID card through interconnected procedures or directly at the ID management agency. The competent authority does not collect identification information and biometric information for people under 6 years old.
People from 6 to under 14 years old and their legal representatives must go to the identity management agency to collect identity information and biometric information as prescribed in Point b, Clause 1, Article 23.
The legal representative of a person from 6 to under 14 years old shall carry out the procedures for issuing an identity card on that person's behalf.
In case a person loses civil capacity or has difficulty in cognition and behavior control, a legal representative must assist in completing the procedures.
If the ID card is refused, the ID management agency must respond in writing and state the reason.

Also according to the provisions of the Law on Identification, citizens make identification cards at the identification management agency of the district, county, town, city police, city under the province, city under the central city or the identification management agency of the provincial police, city under the central city where the citizen resides.
Chip-based ID cards in circulation will remain valid until the expiration date stated on the card.
