2016 started issuing identification codes
In more than 2 years, those who are granted the first identification codes will enjoy benefits such as not needing birth certificates, household registration books, marriage certificates... because everything is encapsulated in a series of numbers.
On June 8, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung signed a decision approving the overall project to simplify administrative procedures, citizen papers and databases related to population management in the 2013-2020 period; aiming to innovate the organization and operation of State management of population, simplify administrative procedures, reduce citizen papers, contributing to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of management and developing e-Government.
Accordingly, after completing the legal basis for granting personal identification numbers; building the National Population Database; systematizing administrative procedures and citizen papers, from 2016, identification numbers will be granted to citizens and personal information will be entered into the national population database.
At that time, citizens do not have to declare basic information already in the database, but only need to declare their personal identification number and the competent authority will look up this information to resolve administrative procedures. Citizens do not need to bring documents such as birth certificates, household registration books, marriage certificates, identity cards, passports, etc.
In case of natural disasters or fires that cause documents to be lost, people do not have to spend much time and effort to redo them because the management agency only needs to look up the national population database system before reissuing the necessary documents.
According to Chinhphu.vn, with a population of over 90 million, the country has an average of 600,000 administrative transactions every day. Most of these procedures are done manually and require citizens to prove their identity by presenting or submitting copies or certified copies of documents; records and results of administrative procedures have not been shared or used in common, creating an administrative burden of up to thousands of billions of VND each year.
But this burden will gradually be reduced when the process of issuing personal identification numbers is implemented based on the connection to the national population database. The Ministry of Justice estimates that with personal identification numbers, people will not have to declare citizen information or present, submit copies or certified copies of citizen documents when carrying out 1,300 administrative procedures at all levels of government.
Mr. Ngo Hai Phan, Director of the Department of Administrative Procedure Control (Ministry of Justice) said that we do not have to wait until 2020, when the entire project on population management is completed, but from 2016, those who are granted the first identification codes will benefit from this multi-purpose number series.
