Regarding the draft Law on Citizen Identification (amended) , on the afternoon of June 2, Minister of Public Security To Lam, authorized by the Prime Minister, presented a report on this draft law.
Accordingly, the development of the Law project is necessary to remove difficulties and obstacles in the implementation of the 2014 Law on Citizen Identification and meet current requirements and tasks, create a legal basis for implementation, and create a breakthrough in digital transformation in our country.
The development of the Law on Identification aims to: serve the settlement of administrative procedures and provide online public services; develop the economy and society; build digital citizens; perfect the ecosystem serving the connection, exploitation, supplementation and enrichment of population data; serve the direction and administration of leaders at all levels.
To fully and closely specify the above policies in the draft Law, ensuring comprehensiveness and conformity with the scope of regulation and subjects of application of the Law, the Government has revised the name of the draft Law from "Law on Citizen Identification (amended)" to "Law on Identification".
In terms of structure, the draft Law on Identification consists of 7 chapters and 46 articles, of which 39/39 articles are amended and 7 new articles are added compared to the 2014 Law on Citizen Identification.
Regarding the content shown on the ID card, the draft Law amends and supplements in the direction of removing fingerprints; amending regulations on information on ID card number, the words "citizen identification card", hometown, permanent residence, signature of the card issuer to personal identification number, the words "ID card", place of birth registration, place of residence...
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;
Citizens' basic identification information will be stored, exploited, and used through the electronic chip on the identification card. For issued citizen identification cards, they are still valid and are not affected by this regulation.
Regarding people who are granted ID cards, the draft Law supplements regulations on the management and issuance of ID cards to people under 14 years old and the issuance of ID certificates to people of Vietnamese origin to ensure their legitimate rights and interests and serve state management; promote the value and utility of ID cards in the activities of digital government and digital society.
However, card issuance for people under 14 years old will be done according to demand, while for people 14 years old and above it is mandatory.
Currently, the Ministry of Public Security has issued nearly 80 million citizen identification cards to eligible people, so the regulation on the expiration date of the basic identity card does not affect the people;
This regulation will limit the continued use of old identity cards, which are not as secure as ID cards and do not have many utilities; encourage people to change their habits by using electronic chip ID cards.
