Marital status data is a critical component of the National Population Database, directly related to essential public services such as birth registration, marriage registration, divorce proceedings, inheritance, death registration, and property transfers.

However, the current data remains fragmented and incomplete, resulting in inconveniences for citizens as well as inefficiencies and waste of resources for both state agencies and society.

The campaign aims to update data on all citizens’ marital status accurately and synchronously so that the updated data will be available and ready for use on the national information system, as well as displayed on the national digital identity application (VNeID).

The updated data on citizens’ marital status will also be of legal validity and a high level of reliability as they have been certified by competent agencies.

Discussing at the meeting, delegates intensively analyzed the current situation and proposed various approaches to effectively carry out the campaign nationwide.

Concluding the meeting, Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Long emphasized that leaders of provincial-level people’s committees and relevant agencies should all give first and foremost priority to the campaign and promptly draw up a blueprint for the deployment of the campaign in their localities.
