The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has just reported to the Ministry of Transport on the use of level 2 electronic identification accounts for airline passengers.
Accordingly, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has sent a document to Department C06 (Ministry of Public Security), requesting guidance for aviation businesses on the use of level 2 electronic identification accounts for air travel.
In its response, Department C06 said that aviation agencies and units connect to the Ministry of Public Security's electronic identification system according to the process/procedure prescribed in Decree 59/2022. The agencies and units then coordinate with C06 to provide electronic authentication services to adjust the corresponding software and perform authentication according to regulations.
This guide is to carry out the steps to check the correctness/incorrectness of the level 2 electronic identification account of air passengers (replacing CCCD) by electronically authenticating the account according to the prescribed procedures and sequences. Therefore, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has deployed the work according to the guided steps.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, if applying the measure of checking the correctness/incorrectness of level 2 electronic identification accounts, there are some difficulties.
Specifically, this solution requires the use of personal assets (smartphones) and level 2 electronic identification accounts of airline staff. Meanwhile, the smartphones of airline staff used for inspection do not have any technical standards as prescribed by Decree 59.
To meet the interests of passengers, comply with legal regulations, and improve the quality of aviation services, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, there must be the most suitable plan to implement the use of level 2 electronic identification accounts for air passengers.
The use of level 2 electronic identification accounts for airline passengers still has many problems.
Therefore, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam proposes to pilot the acceptance of level 2 electronic identification accounts for passengers checking in for flights, and evaluate the effectiveness after the pilot; Report to the Ministry of Transport on difficulties in implementing the regulations in Decree No. 59 on electronic identification and authentication after the pilot.
The pilot will be conducted simultaneously at airports from June 1, 2023 to August 1, 2023, for domestic flights. In particular, accepting level 2 electronic identification accounts for passengers checking in for flights instead of CCCD.
When passengers use their level 2 electronic identification account to board an aircraft, check-in staff and aviation security staff visually check the passenger's level 2 electronic identification account.
In some special cases, such as passengers showing signs of abnormality, the method of checking the authenticity/falsehood of a citizen's electronic identification account as instructed in Document 1101 will be combined by using a level 2 personal identification account installed on the airline staff's phone, scanning the QR code on the passenger's electronic identification account to determine the reliability of the passenger's level 2 electronic identification account.
In particular, this pilot is only for voluntary passengers, and airline staff participating in the pilot voluntarily use their phones and level 2 electronic identification accounts for the pilot.
In addition, airline staff participating in the pilot pledge not to use passenger information for illegal purposes.
In the long term, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam proposes to deploy a level 2 personal electronic identification account authentication application for passengers when checking in for flights combined with passenger biometric authentication. This task is being actively implemented by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam and aviation agencies and units .
