According to our observations, the phenomenon of "brokers" soliciting passports and related services such as taking photos, photocopying, parking... is no longer as chaotic as before, because the police force is deployed along the entire road in front of the headquarters gate. Inside, with scientific organization and arrangement, the phenomenon of jostling and pushing no longer occurs. (In the photo: People doing declaration procedures). Photo: Sach Nguyen |

I am old and not good at computers, so when I came here to do the paperwork, I had to ask the police officers and they helped me very enthusiastically."

In addition to instructing people on how to declare via the electronic system; increasing the number of desks for receiving documents, the unit publicly lists the procedures and processes for making documents; arranges computers for filling out declarations, waiting chairs and makes announcements on loudspeakers when it is people's turn; and at the same time, announces regulations on making documents for applying for and renewing passports to help people avoid subjects taking advantage of tout activities outside the unit's protected area.

Colonel Nguyen Dinh Tran - Head of the Immigration Department of the Provincial Police said: During the working days after Tet, the number of people coming to apply for passports and travel documents was very large. As of 1:00 p.m. on February 11, over 600 applications had been received and processed. To best serve the people, in addition to mobilizing more officers and soldiers from other professional teams, arranging overtime, we strive to complete all received applications within the day, so that people do not have to wait or go back and forth many times.

Not as crowded as the Immigration Department, but the One-Stop Department of Nghe An Provincial Police, on the first working day, also welcomed hundreds of people coming to do procedures for issuing and exchanging ID cards. Most of them were people working far away returning home for Tet, workers preparing to apply for jobs, study, work abroad... but had previously lost or misplaced their ID cards. Photo: Sach Nguyen |

| Lieutenant Colonel Tran Thi My Hanh - Head of the Household Registration and Identity Card Team said that according to regulations, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, the team will receive applications for issuance and reissue of identity cards. And will return identity cards on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. However, the first working day after Tet is also Monday, but people have already arrived, so we still serve.

To reissue ID cards quickly and without confusion, after taking a number, everyone waits for their number to be called from the electronic board, ensuring that there is no case of cutting in line. The authorities have mobilized 100% of staff to work even on holidays. No citizen has to go home without having their ID card made. After 3 days, citizens will receive a new ID card."
