Due to its recent implementation, the question of how long the citizen identity card is valid for is similar to the expiration of the ID card, which many people are concerned about when applying for identification. According to the Citizen Identity Card Law, starting from January 1, 2016, Vietnamese citizens will have to obtain a citizen identity card instead of an ID card.

Improving upon the national ID card, the citizen identity card specifies its validity period. However, instead of specifying the expiration period in years, the validity period of the citizen identity card (Identification card in English) is determined based on age groups.

The expiration date of the citizen identity card is determined based on specific age groups.

1. What is the validity period of the citizen identity card?

The age requirements for renewing the citizen identity card are specified in Article 21 of the 2014 Citizen Identity Card Law as follows:

1. The citizen identity card must be renewed when the citizen reaches 25, 40, and 60 years old.
2. If the citizen identity card is issued, renewed, or reissued within 2 years before the age specified in clause 1 of this Article, it will still be valid until the next card renewal age.

Thus, the citizen identity card does not have an expiration date; it only needs to be renewed when the citizen reaches the ages of 25, 40, and 60.

For example: Mr. A, who is currently 37 years old, has a card renewal period of 3 years, while Mr. B, who is currently 42 years old, has a card renewal period of 18 years.

2. Who is eligible for the citizen identity card?

The eligibility criteria for the citizen identity card are clearly defined in Article 19 of the 2014 Citizen Identity Card Law as follows:

1. Vietnamese citizens aged 14 and above are eligible for the citizen identity card.
2. The citizen identity card number serves as the personal identification number.

Therefore, Vietnamese citizens aged 14 and above will be issued the citizen identity card.

3. Procedures for renewing expired citizen identity cards

In cases of lost or expired citizen identity cards, or if you are a foreign resident wishing to return to Vietnam, these cases will be issued a new citizen identity card.

The procedures for issuing a new citizen identity card are as follows:

Step 1: Fill in all required information on the declaration form according to the prescribed template.
