Receive procedures for issuing Citizen Identification Cards from November

Accordingly, Circular No. 40/2019 includes 3 articles regulating the order and procedures for issuing Citizen Identification Cards.

Citizens fill in the Citizen Identification Form. In case citizens declare information according to the Citizen Identification Form on the online public service website, they must select the date, month, and year of the Citizen Identification Card issuance procedure and send the Form to the citizen identification management agency where the citizen is registered as a permanent resident on the online public service website.

For localities receiving applications for Citizen Identification Cards at the District-level Reception and Result Delivery Department or at the Provincial Public Administration Service Center, after receiving the application, the receiving officer shall transfer the application to the competent citizen identification management agency.

The officer receiving the application for a Citizen Identification Card at the Citizen Identification Management Agency checks and compares the citizen's information in the Citizen Identification Declaration Form (in case the citizen declares online, it is collected via a barcode reader or a device that receives information into the system) with the information in the National Population Database that has been connected to the Citizen Identification Database to accurately identify the person who needs to be issued a card and unify the information content about the citizen.

In case the National Population Database has not been put into operation, citizens are required to present their household registration books. In case the information on the household registration books is incomplete or inconsistent with the information declared by the citizen on the Citizen Identification Form, citizens are required to present their Birth Certificate, old Identity Card or other legal documents on the information required to be recorded in the Citizen Identification Form.

The new Circular of the Ministry of Public Security also guides: In case a citizen applies for a Citizen Identification Card at the district-level citizen identification management agency and needs to adjust changes in the household registration book, which is under the authority of the district-level police and the citizen presents all valid documents according to the provisions of the law on residence, the application for adjustment of changes in the citizen's household registration book will be accepted at the same time as the application for a Citizen Identification Card.

The receiving officer transfers the file to adjust changes in the citizen's household registration book to the registration and residence management department to make adjustments for the citizen according to regulations.

After the adjustment is completed, the registration and residence management department will transfer the adjusted household registration book to the department receiving applications for Citizen Identification Card issuance.
