Vinh city voters propose tightening household registration management
(Baonghean.vn) - Voters in Vinh city reported that there were cases where people had left the area for a long time but were still registered in the household register and had temporary residence. They requested the Provincial People's Committee to direct and manage more closely.
Reply:
Before July 1, 2021, residence registration and management were carried out according to the provisions of the 2006 Law on Residence and the 2013 amended Law on Residence. In particular, the Law on Residence and its implementing documents do not have provisions on deleting permanent residence registration for cases that have left the area for a long time but have not completed the household registration transfer procedures, leading to the inability of the police at all levels to delete permanent residence registration, causing difficulties in population management.

When making transactions, citizens only need to provide their personal identification number (Citizen ID card), without having to present their household registration book. In addition, the National Population Database and the Resident Database system fully and accurately reflect citizens' information.
The management of future residence is carried out on the data system; in case a citizen has 2 or more permanent residences (in the province or outside the province), the population data system will notify of duplicate information.
Based on the notification of the population data system, the relevant local and unit police will conduct inspections and verifications to accurately determine the permanent residence of citizens in order to delete the actual permanent residence of citizens who do not live there, ensuring strict compliance with regulations.
