At police headquarters of districts, towns, continue to maintain and increase the time to receive dossiers; Units work every day of the week. Those who are granted an electronic citizen identity card are citizens aged full 14 years or older, currently residing and working in Hanoi city; the cases have been issued with the old barcode, citizen identification card. In particular, priority is given to the number of citizens taking the university entrance exam in 2021. Scan the code with your phone to many fields of information According to Hanoi police, the new citizen identity card is beautifully designed, durable, has an electronic chip, Qrcode, MRZ code and is bilingual in Vietnamese – English suitable for exchanges and integration in the region and internationally.

The new citizen’s identity contains the old identity card number in the chip, so there is no need to confirm or convert documents related to the old identity card number; The QRcode on the citizen ID allows the phone to be used to scan for information when it is necessary to declare, not to enter it manually. According to a source from the Police Department for Administrative Management of Social Order (C06) of the Ministry of Public Security, when citizens do procedures at state agencies but forget to bring their citizen IDs with a chip, they can simply If you remember the sequence of numbers on the ID, the data system will be able to extract all the information fields for the procedure.

Police of Thanh Xuan district (Hanoi) carry out procedures to issue citizen identification cards with chips for people. Photo: DANG ANH Over the past time, functional agencies in provinces and cities across the country have been actively implementing the issuance and exchange of citizen identification cards (CCCDs) with electronic chips, in order to achieve the goal by January 1. From 7-2021, 50 million cards will be issued. CCCD cards with electronic chips are considered an inevitable trend, in order to keep up with the current 4.0 technology trend along with the State’s efforts in reducing administrative procedures, contributing to the drastic reform of management. , creating favorable conditions, helping people to carry out administrative procedures and civil transactions… However, instead of supporting a right policy, some subjects sought to oppose and take advantage of them. social networks to attack, distort, and give false information to confuse public opinion about the issuance and change of CCCD… On September 3, 2020, the Prime Minister signed Decision No. 1368/QD-TTg approving the investment policy of production projects, granting and managing citizen identity, which defines the objectives of the project. The project is: Building a unified CCCD database nationwide, collecting and managing CCCD registration data automatically on information technology infrastructure to help store, retrieve, share, find information quickly and conveniently; improve the efficiency of state management of CCCD, create favorable conditions for citizens while carrying out administrative procedures and civil transactions; towards building e-Government, creating a breakthrough in socio-economic development of the whole country; contribute effectively to the fight against crime… If compared with the current ID card and CCCD, we will see that the chip-mounted CCCD has outstanding advantages. Specifically, each card is integrated with 20 residential data fields related to each individual with many accompanying applications such as: digital signature application, biometric application, one-time password application, lowering public key layer,… thereby allowing users to connect to public and private services quickly and conveniently. Not only that, the chip-mounted CCCD is manufactured using modern technology, is flexible in changing and adding personal information, has high security, helps to identify and identify accurately, so it minimizes the risk. theft or forgery to use for dark purposes. Now with the new CCCD when making transactions, individuals will not need to carry many documents (for example household registration, birth certificate, marriage registration, …) because this information is already available. stored and integrated in the card. Thanks to that, everyone has the conditions to make transactions quickly and conveniently, reducing travel time and costs for backing up and notarizing documents… Therefore, it can be affirmed that the CCCD card with a chip is a step forward in applying science and technology to state management activities, helping administrative reform effectively. This is also an important basis contributing to the realization of the goal of building an e-Government that the Party and State are setting, and the people are the beneficiaries. Not to mention, in the context of the strong development of the 4th industrial revolution, when the trend of digital transformation takes place in all fields, it becomes even more necessary to make CCCD cards with electronic chips. , contributing to the country’s quick access to the development trend in the world. In fact, the use of a chip-mounted CCCD card is the optimal choice in many countries. Statistics from the authorities show that there are about 70 countries using this card, even some countries have used CCCD chips since the 90s of the last century. Along with the development of science and technology, chip cards are increasingly effective in social life. In Estonia (Etonia), since 2002, the country has been using a chip-based CCCD card for people called ID Kaart to replace traditional identification documents. Since then, the Kaart ID has been used by people in this country to identify identities, health checks, vote elections, business registration, … as well as perform other electronic transactions. Not to mention, ID Kaart can also replace passports when people travel within the country, as well as to EU countries (European Union – European Union). Continuing to upgrade to increase security and maximize use efficiency, in September 2018, Estonian authorities put into application the Smart-ID digital identification system (providing and verifying digital identity). digital identity) using a chip that uses 384-bit ECC public key encryption and a QR Code (quick response code) for the Kaart ID. This country has set a target that by 2025 the number of e-citizens will reach 10 million, 8 times higher than the current population. Similar to Estonia, Argentina’s (Argentine) chip CCCD card named DNI integrates a lot of personal information, including credit account information. Or the CCCD card of Malaysia (Malaysia) is MyKad which integrates personal information such as passport, driver’s license, health information, … and also has the functions of electronic wallet, access ATM card access, mobile applications and PKI (for electronic transactions). Every Malaysian citizen is issued a MyKad card, but it is divided into three groups, including: MyPR (Malaysian permanent resident), MyKas (short-term resident of Malaysia) and MyKid (Malaysian citizen under 12 years old) year old). In many other countries, the CCCD chip card also integrates information related to the driver’s license (such as in Germany, Turkey, Argentina…), thereby helping to significantly reduce traffic violations; or people can use the CCCD chip in public, administrative and social services (such as in Japan, Korea,…). Grasping that inevitable trend, based on the existing conditions in terms of human resources, material resources and science – technology, in 2021, the issuance of CCCD card with official chip will be implemented synchronously by Vietnam on a large scale. country. In order to effectively implement this policy, propaganda has been promoted in the mass media. The functional agencies actively went to the villages and hamlets to mobilize people to make cards. In some agencies, units, schools, the issuance and replacement of CCCD cards is done on the spot. In localities, registered people have been given timed tickets, helping to reduce travel and waiting time. Even in some areas, the police in charge of the area also texted, went to each house to urge the card making. In many places, card making is done 24 hours a day to create the best conditions for people, especially those who are busy working during office hours, working in shifts, so time is tight… However, with the available dark purpose, the desire to restrain the development of Vietnam, the hostile forces and a number of organizations and individuals with a lack of goodwill immediately considered the implementation of the chip-based CCCD card. an opportunity to conduct countermeasures. With a hostile and extreme attitude, some subjects immediately posted misleading information and images. They blatantly claim that the installation of chips on CCCD cards is for the State to strengthen control over people, people lose their freedoms and have their privacy violated. Even blatantly slandered with the issuance of CCCD cards this time, people turned into “herd animals”, or compared “in some advanced countries, electronic chips are often attached to prisoners to serve prison sentences. stay at home”, thereby loudly saying that this is a sign of loss of “democracy and human rights”, calling on people not to cooperate with authorities, not to make CCCD cards with chips. Notably, some people because of lack of information and ignorance have rushed to believe and follow, continue to spread misinformation, malicious rumors, thereby arousing suspicion, confusion, Doubt in public opinion… It must be said that, whether intentionally distorting or unconsciously, such acts have hindered the implementation of a correct policy of the State. In order to promptly correct the above negative manifestations, in the past time, some individuals who have reported falsely about making CCCD cards with chips have been handled in accordance with the law. As at the end of last April, the police of Dak Lak province summoned Bui Thi Thanh T. (Hoa Thang commune, Buon Ma Thuot city) for posting incorrect comments about the job of CCCD. At the police station, T. admitted his work was against the law, so he deleted the comment and pledged not to repeat the offense. This is an example that people have to be very vigilant, if they don’t want to abet law violations, they need to be alert to inaccurate information, especially information of a deductive and fabricated nature. unfounded. Every citizen should always be aware and believe that the Vietnamese Party and State always strives for the legitimate rights and interests of the people. Article 3 of the Constitution (added and amended in 2013) affirms: “The State ensures and promotes the people’s right to mastery; recognize, respect, protect and guarantee human and citizen rights; realize the goal of rich people, strong country, democracy, justice and civilization, where everyone has a prosperous, free and happy life and has conditions for comprehensive development. This principle has always been consistently expressed in all lines and guidelines of the Party, and policies and laws of the State. Attaching electronic chips to CCCD cards, too, is a policy in line with the development trend of the country, the provisions of the law, and ensuring the information security of all people. The electronic chip on the CCCD card is not for locating, not infringing on the freedom of movement and privacy of each individual. When the card is lost, due to the identification control mechanism, personal information is not disclosed, only the cardholder can activate and use it. With a clear awareness of this issue, each individual will have the right behavior, believe and seriously implement the policy of the State. It is also a practical way to protect individual and community interests and contribute to the country’s socio-economic development.

Since the implementation of the chip-based CCCD card, many citizens have received the card with the form and design, the features are said to be more beautiful and modern, and more convenient than before the ID card/CCCD card. that barcode. Notably, when citizens scan the QR code on the CCCD chip, a series of information will appear. Many readers wonder how to scan the QR code on the CCCD card? What is the meaning of the information obtained after scanning?… People can use the camera in their smartphone to scan the QR code. Photo: DANG LE To be able to scan the QR code on the CCCD card, people just need to have a smartphone and use the QR Code feature (with a QR code icon) in the Zalo application, or use the camera on their phone to Point the camera at the QR code area on the CCCD card to be able to extract this data. According to the provisions of Circular 06/2021/TT-BCA regulating the CCCD card model, the QR code is printed on the front, top right corner of the CCCD card. After scanning the QR code, citizens will know the following information: CCCD number (12 digits); previous ID card number 9 (if any); First and last name; Date of birth; Sex; Permanent address; Date of issue. Thus, the old 9-digit ID card number has also been integrated in the QR code, so people when going to handle administrative procedures will not need to present a confirmation of the old ID number for comparison. However, now when citizens transfer from 9-digit ID card to CCCD, they are issued with a certificate confirming the old ID card number. According to Circular 40/2019 of the Ministry of Public Security, when citizens carry out the procedures for granting, changing or re-granting CCCD cards, the citizen identification management agency where the application is received is responsible for issuing a Certificate of ID number to all cases of transferring from 9-digit ID card to CCCD card. In addition, in the process of handling administrative procedures and civil transactions, agencies, organizations and units can also use the QR code scanning function to check personal information and old ID card numbers of customers. people as a basis for settlement. The last sequence of numbers in the QR code scanning information of this CCCD card shows that this person is male, born on December 11, 1995, and the date of issue is February 27, 2021. Photo: DANG LE However, in a few practical cases today, after scanning the QR code on the CCCD card of some citizens, there is no information about the old 9-digit ID card number. In this regard, citizens should not worry because according to the Ministry of Public Security, the reason is that citizens do not declare information about their 9-digit ID number in the residential information collection form, so there is no population database in the population database. this information. The solution for this is that for cases where there is lack of information about the 9-digit ID number in the national population database and CCCD application, the local police will conduct search, verification, and supplementation. supplement and update information. For cases where citizens change from 12-digit ID card to CCCD card, cases of changing or re-issuing CCCD card where citizens have previously declared information about 9-digit ID number, in the citizen identification data there is information. In this case, the National Population Data Center will adjust the system software to automatically update and supplement information.

The color of the chip-mounted CCCD card is somewhat more vivid. Cards have two main colors are blue and light yellow. The two sides of the card have traditional motifs, beautifully imprinted. In the middle of the card is a very sharp map of Vietnam drawn. The new CCCD card has more vivid colors than the old card. On the front side of the card includes basic personal information such as: photo card, identification number, first and last name, date of birth, gender, nationality, country of origin, place of residence.

The old information still retained are identification features, card issuance time, fingerprints and red seal of the competent authority. The back of the card has a clear change in content and layout. The first difference is that the barcode printed on the old CCCD card header has now been replaced with a sequence of characters including both letters and numbers. This is also information that you should cover up. Besides, the position of the fingerprint has also been moved from the left edge (in the CCCD card, old ID card) to the right edge (in the new CCCD card). The position of fingerprints has a change between the old and new versions. The highlight on this year’s CCCD card is the chip attached to the back. This chip has a color, shape and size quite similar to the one on the phone sim card we often use. The chip on the new CCCD card. The size of the new CCCD card has similarities with many current hard cards In terms of shape, the new CCCD card will still have a rectangular design with 4 rounded corners, helping to limit the broken corner of the card when stored in the wallet. Thiet is quite similar to ATM cards of banks or membership cards of supermarkets. The CCCD card is shaped similar to an ATM card and other commonly used hardware cards. If you often have trouble with the slightly larger size of an old 9-digit ID card, it will be resolved on the new CCCD card. The new card will measure 83.6 x 53.98 mm. In a way that is easier to understand, “it” will be the size of an ATM card. The convenience of the new CCCD card The first handy point that we can see from a chip-mounted CCCD card is that “its sister” will be more durable. Compared with the old ID paper material, the plastic material on the CCCD card with chips will provide a longer life time. Besides, conditions such as torn, mysterious marks on the card … will no longer appear on this new card. The new CCCD card is more compact than the old ID card.

This chip-mounted CCCD is almost able to fit in the usual card holders in today’s wallets. You can put your card in your wallet a lot easier.

Fingerprinting for people at the Go Vap District Police. Photo: Thanh Chung – VNA What information does the chip-mounted citizen ID contain? The biggest difference of chip-mounted Citizen Identification compared to other types of identification such as Identity Card or Barcode Citizen Identification is the chip located on the back of the card. The chip contains information about the identity of each citizen, such as: Full name; date of birth; home town; fingerprint, retina, image, identification features … At the same time, in the near future, the chip on the citizen’s ID card also contains information related to insurance, banking, driver’s license … of the user. use. In addition to the chip, the new model Citizen ID card also has a QR code on the front of the card. When scanning this code will display information about the name of the issuer, the old ID number (In the case where the 9-digit ID card was used), the issuer will no longer have to bring it The identity card number of the identity card with A4 paper is very easily crumpled as it is nowadays. Is losing a citizen’s ID with a chip “dangerous”? As mentioned above, the citizen’s ID with chip shows a lot of personal information of the grantee, and also integrates many other specialized information about insurance, banking … Therefore, many people expressed worry that if you accidentally lose this ID card, or have your card stolen, will your personal information be easily leaked out … In fact, only authorities are equipped with specialized chip readers to extract information. Therefore, people can be completely assured that, if the identity of the chip-mounted citizen is lost, the person who finds it is difficult to read the information of the lost person that the chip on the card is keeping. Unlike chips, QR codes are easily scanned, just using an App on a smartphone. However, the QR code does not contain too much information that needs “security” as on the chip. On the contrary, the fact that the ID card attached to a chip stores a lot of information will help people later when they go to do administrative procedures, make transactions with banks, real estate, insurance, apply to study for their children …, No need to bring a variety of papers, just use this card.
