On the morning of November 27, with 431/468 (87.25%) National Assembly deputies participating in the vote in favor, the National Assembly officially passed the Law on Identification. The law consists of 7 chapters and 46 articles.

Article 18 of the Law on Citizen Identification sets out the information fields shown on the identity card. These include facial photo; personal identification number; surname, middle name and given name; date of birth; gender; place of birth registration; nationality; place of residence; card issue date and expiry date. Thus, compared to the 2014 Law on Citizen Identification, the fields for information about hometown and fingerprints have been removed and do not need to be shown on the identity card.
Information in the Identity Database includes identity information; biometric information including facial images, fingerprints, irises, DNA, voice; occupation...
People who are granted ID cards include: Vietnamese citizens from 14 years of age and older must carry out ID card issuance procedures; Vietnamese citizens under 14 years of age are granted ID cards upon request.
Before the National Assembly voted to approve, on behalf of the National Assembly Standing Committee, presenting the inspection report, Chairman of the National Defense and Security Committee Le Tan Toi said that there were opinions that in the past there had been many changes in the form, content and name of the ID card, so it was suggested to consider the name of the Law; it was suggested not to change the name of the law and the name of the card to ID card.
However, Mr. Toi informed that through discussion, most of the opinions of the National Assembly deputies and the opinions of the National Assembly Standing Committee agreed with the name of the draft law and the name of the ID card that had been explained. The National Assembly Standing Committee believes that the use of the name of the ID Law clearly demonstrates scientific nature, both covering the scope of regulation and applicable subjects of the law, and being consistent with the trend of digital society management.

With the scientific integration of information in the ID card along with the form and method of digital management ensuring mass, the name change to ID card will help the state management work to be more scientific, serving the digital transformation, digital economy, digital society of the Government. At the same time, it will create favorable conditions and support for people to participate in social activities as well as administrative and civil transactions more and more conveniently.
The Chairman of the National Defense and Security Committee also said that the National Assembly Party Delegation had asked for the Politburo's opinion on this content and the Politburo agreed and highly agreed on the use of the name of the Law on Identification and Identification Card as proposed by the Government.
The Standing Committee of the National Assembly found that the adjustment of the name to the Law on Identification and Identification Cards is suitable for the purpose of management and serving the people.
According to Chairman of the National Defense and Security Committee Le Tan Toi, current science has proven that, along with fingerprints, a person's iris has a complex and unique pattern structure for each person, which does not change much over time.
Iris recognition technology (also known as iris sensor technology) is a method of using algorithms and images to identify a person based on the structure of the iris lines (where the human eye color is determined), which has been widely applied in many fields.
Currently, many countries have applied this technology to serve citizen identification, passport authentication, filling in authentication information via website... At the same time, this technology has high accuracy, is simple, easy to use, and does not require complicated operations.
Therefore, in addition to collecting fingerprints, the draft law has added regulations on collecting irises in identification information to serve as a basis for cross-checking and verifying each individual's information; providing support in cases where a person's fingerprints cannot be collected (in cases of disabilities or deformed fingerprints due to objective or subjective reasons...).
