On November 27, 2023, the National Assembly officially passed the Law on Identity Cards, replacing the 2014 Law on Citizen Identity Cards. The Law on Identity Cards officially came into effect on July 1, 2024. Accordingly, the citizen identity card will also be called by its new name, the identity card.
According to Article 22 of the 2023 Identity Card Law, the integration of information into identity cards and the use and exploitation of integrated information are regulated as follows:
- Integrating information into the identity card involves adding information beyond the basic identity details to the card's storage, using encrypted data. This information is integrated at the citizen's request and must be verified through national or specialized databases.
- The information integrated into the identity card includes health insurance card information, social insurance book, driver's license, birth certificate, marriage certificate, or other documents as decided by the Prime Minister, excluding information on documents issued by the Ministry of National Defense .
- The use of information integrated into the identity card is equivalent to providing or using documents containing that information in carrying out administrative procedures, public services, transactions, and other activities.
- Citizens request that their information be integrated into the national identity card when needed or when applying for, renewing, or replacing the card.
- The exploitation of the encoded integrated information in the identity card is regulated as follows:
+ Using specialized equipment to extract information integrated into the encrypted storage section of the identity card;
+ Using information from the identity card via specialized equipment to retrieve and utilize integrated information through the National Population Database and the electronic identification and authentication system;
+ State agencies, political organizations, and socio-political organizations may utilize the integrated information encoded in the identity card to perform their assigned functions and tasks;
+ Organizations and individuals may exploit the encoded information integrated into citizens' identity cards only with the consent of those citizens.
Therefore, according to the regulations mentioned above, integrating information such as health insurance cards, social insurance books, driver's licenses, birth certificates, marriage certificates, or other documents into the identity card is not mandatory. This integration is only required when citizens request it or when applying for, renewing, or replacing their identity card.
