1. Is there a penalty for not creating an electronic identification account?
The Administrative Police Department for Social Order Management indicates that currently, registering an electronic identity account is not mandatory, but citizens are encouraged to do so. In the future, all public services will be conducted through electronic identity, making it convenient for citizens with registered accounts. Therefore, citizens without an electronic identity account will not face penalties.
The Ministry of Public Security has verified electronic identity accounts through the national population database to ensure accuracy and prevent forgery.
2. Which cases should register an electronic identity account?
According to the decision 34/2021 of the Prime Minister, citizens aged 14 and above are eligible to register an electronic identity account using the electronic identity application. In cases where individuals are under 14, it is advisable for the legal guardian or parents to register their electronic identity account on their behalf.
3. How to register an electronic identity account
To register an electronic identity account, individuals can visit their local police departments at district/commune/provincial levels and follow the steps below:
Step 1: Inform the officer about the intention to obtain an electronic identity. Provide personal information such as phone number, email address, information about dependents, and other relevant documents if available.
If you wish to integrate documents such as driver's license, social insurance, vehicle registration, health insurance, etc., it's advisable to bring the original documents for verification.
Step 2: Proceed with the procedure to update or issue a chip-embedded citizen identification following the correct process.
Step 3: Officers will handle the process of issuing or updating the chip-embedded citizen identification according to the prescribed procedure.
Afterwards, citizens will be provided with an electronic identification account, where the login username is the citizen identification number, accompanied by a password issued by the Ministry of Public Security via text message. You can modify the password for added security.
