Reply:Permanent residence registration (household registration) is when a citizen registers his/her permanent residence with a competent state agency and this agency carries out procedures for permanent residence registration and issues a household registration book.
According to the provisions of the 2006 Law on Residence, citizens who have legal residence in a province can register for permanent residence in that province. In case the legal residence is rented, borrowed, or provided by an individual, the written consent of the lessor, lender, or host must be obtained. Regarding the procedure for permanent residence registration, the person registering for permanent residence must submit a permanent residence registration application to the police agency at the commune or ward level where the permanent residence is to be registered. Clause 2, Article 21 of the Law on Residence stipulates the permanent residence registration application, accordingly, the permanent residence registration application in the province includes the following documents:
- Household registration and population change notification form; population declaration;
- Household registration transfer certificate as prescribed in Article 28 of the Law on Residence.
Thus, the permanent residence registration file must include a household registration transfer certificate. To obtain this certificate, you must apply for a household registration transfer at the commune-level police agency where you previously registered for permanent residence according to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 28 of the Law on Residence. Specifically:
