The Da Nang People's Committee has issued a plan to implement the project on developing the application of population database, e-identification and e-authentication for national digital transformation in the 2022-2025 period with a vision towards 2030 in the city.

Under the scheme, national population database, e-identification and e-authentication system as well as citizen ID cards with electronic chips will be used flexibly and creatively to serve administrative procedures and online public services supply, socio-economic expansion, digital citizens development, the completion of the ecosystem on connecting, exploiting and enriching population data, and the directions by leaders at all levels.

The Da Nang police are responsible for implementing an electronic identification and authentication system; connect and integrate the electronic identification and authentication system of the Ministry of Public Security with the National Public Service Portal to create electronic accounts of individuals in handling administrative procedures, providing online public services at departments, agencies, mass organizations and the People's Committees of districts, wards and communes.

Also, another task is to  implement solutions to assist judicial agencies in sharing the police's infrastructure in the registration of births and the issuance of personal identification numbers at the commune level, ensuring synchronization and efficiency.

Under the project, that is getting underway nationwide, by the end of 2022, the old and new versions of citizen IDs will be integrated, enabling the e-identification of all citizens.

The connection and sharing of data between the national population and tax databases are expected to complete in the first quarter of 2022. Meanwhile, personal paper documents such as health insurance card, driving licence, job licence, and vaccination certificate, will be generally integrated into the citizen IDs and the e-identification app VNEID. E-authentication will be used for all information provided on the citizen IDs and VNEID.

In the 2023 - 2025 period, e-identification and e-authentication are scheduled to be applied on all Vietnamese citizens conducting administrative procedures at one-stop-shop office at all levels.

Meanwhile, in 2022 - 2023, the e-identification and e-authentication system will be upgraded, completed and applied in e-transactions in service for socio-economic progress.
