Overview of the event.

According to the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), the project to amend the Law on Citizenship Identity is very important, as it can facilitate the project on developing the application of population, electronic identification and electronic authentication data for national digital transformation in the period of 2022-2025, with a vision to 2030 launched by the Government (Project 06).

This will also help promote the value and utility of the chip-based ID card, contributing positively to simplifying administrative procedures and reducing citizenship papers. The amended draft Law on Citizenship Identity is built on the basis of inheriting the provisions of the 2014 Law on Citizenship Identity and 4 groups of policies that were approved by the Government at the special meeting on legal development on December 2022.
