Update news identity card
Colonel Vu Van Tan from the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), told a recent workshop that the national population database, identity cards, and electronic identity are the core platforms for national digital transformation.
The Ministry of Public Security plans to have issued chip-based ID cards to 50 million citizens by July 1 this year.
The Minister of Public Security will decide the form and material for citizen chip-mounted identity cards. Under a request from the Prime Minister, the cards will use advanced technology to ensure security and safety.
Local experts said the Ministry of Public Security should consider the necessity and the cost of the new ID card issuance.
