VNeID becomes single app for public administrative services from July 1

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang on Friday urged ministries, agencies and localities to use the Viet Nam Electronic Identification (VNeID) as the only app in administrative procedure performance from July 1, 2024 to save time and costs.

The move was made as each citizen now has many public service accounts issued by ministries and localities, causing a nuisance in personal information management, not to mention users have to remember lots of account IDs and passwords.

VNeID is a mobile phone app developed by the National Population Data Centre of the Ministry of Public Security to replace traditional documents and provide utilities serving digital citizens, digital government and digital society.

The app allows citizens to update their personal information (education level, list of relatives, social security status, health insurance, vaccination, driver license, bank account, telecoms account, etc..) onto the national population database.

Earlier, the Prime Minister issued Directive 04/CT-TTg dated on February 11, 2024, on continuing to promote the implementation of the project on population data, identification, and electronic authentication applications to serve the national digital transformation phase 2022-2025, vision towards 2030 in ministries, sectors, localities in 2024 and the following years.

The Ministry of Justice will connect and share data between databases of the Justice sector, such as the electronic household registration database, the national citizenship database, the judicial record database, with the National Population Database, to be completed in June 2024.
