(Baonghean.vn) - On the first working day after the Lunar New Year of the Tiger, the number of people coming to make passports and citizen identification cards at the Immigration Department and the One-Stop Department (Nghe An Police) increased sharply compared to last year.

On February 7, at the Nghe An Immigration Department, nearly 500 citizens came to apply for passports and travel documents, compared to only nearly 200 people at the same time in 2021. The reason is believed to be that the Covid-19 epidemic situation is basically under control, and countries have now accepted immigrants, so people have started to go through paperwork procedures.

To ensure conditions for serving the people, 100% of the officers and soldiers of the Immigration Management Department gathered at the unit from 3:00 p.m. on February 6 to conduct Covid-19 testing, and at the same time held a launching ceremony for the emulation movement "Serving the people", implementing the unit's plan on citizen reception and Covid-19 prevention. Accordingly, in addition to coordinating with the Truong Thi Ward Police to ensure security and order, at the Immigration Management Department, epidemic prevention and control work is strictly implemented. Citizens coming to do procedures must line up and keep their distance. Before entering, each citizen must be sprayed with disinfectant... Photo: HV

Along with that, to reduce the number of people gathering inside the premises of the Department, right at the queuing area, there are officers and soldiers guiding the electronic declaration by smartphone. Photo: D.C.

Inside, other working groups such as the working group guiding people to fill out electronic declarations, the group distributing free forms, checking initial document instructions, the group receiving and processing documents, the group guiding additional documents, the group returning passport and travel document results, etc. all have staff on duty to serve people as quickly as possible.

Similarly, at the One-Stop Department of Nghe An Provincial Police, on the first working day, nearly 300 citizens came to apply for citizen identification cards, compared to less than 100 people at the same time in 2021. Photo: HV

To ensure that the citizen identification card issuance procedure is quick and hassle-free, after taking a number, everyone waits for their number to be called from the electronic board, ensuring that no one cuts in line. Photo: HV

With the current changes in issuing chip-embedded ID cards, all steps of making ID cards are updated by machine. Mr. Duong Sy Linh, a citizen who came to make a citizen ID card, said: I lost my citizen ID card before Tet, so now I have to make a new one. "Luckily, now the administrative procedures are simplified, very simple to do, I am very excited." Photo: HV

It is known that in the first days of the year, the department mobilized 100% of its staff to serve citizens in making citizen identification cards, with the goal of the staff being "not finished with work, not finished with time". In the photo: Instructing citizens to take fingerprints. Photo: HV

According to Colonel Luong The Loc - Head of the Administrative Management and Social Order Police Department (Provincial Police), along with receiving and making citizen identification cards, officers and soldiers always uphold the spirit of preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic, so, along with reminding citizens to wear masks, disinfecting, etc., after each working session, officers and soldiers at the One-Stop Department clean the working area.
