What are the principles of electronic business identification?
In the near future, businesses will be required to use electronic identification accounts to carry out procedures on the National Public Service Portal and the administrative procedure resolution information systems at the ministerial and provincial levels. So, what are the principles of electronic business identification? This is a question of concern to Mr. Le Thanh Duong (Nghi Loc, Nghe An).
Answer: From July 1, 2025, businesses must use electronic identification accounts to carry out procedures on the National Public Service Portal and the administrative procedure resolution information systems at the ministerial and provincial levels. Without an electronic identification account, these procedures cannot be performed. According to Article 4 of Decree 69/2024/ND-CP, which stipulates the principles of electronic identification and authentication in general and electronic identification of businesses in particular, the following applies:
- To abide by the Constitution and laws, and to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of agencies, organizations, and individuals.
- Ensuring accuracy, openness, and transparency in management, and convenience for agencies, organizations, and individuals.
- Ensure the security and safety of equipment and data confidentiality when performing electronic identification and authentication.
- Agencies, organizations, and individuals that access and use electronic identities must protect the confidentiality of electronic identity account information and comply with the law on personal data protection.
- Any violations of the law regarding electronic identification and authentication must be detected and handled promptly in accordance with the law.
- Ensuring compliance with international treaties to which Vietnam is a signatory.
- Electronic identity accounts must not be used for activities or transactions that violate the law; infringe upon national security, defense, national interests, public interests, or the legitimate rights and interests of organizations and individuals.
- No agency, organization, or individual is permitted to illegally interfere with the operation of the electronic identification and authentication system.
