The applicant has the right to choose to submit dossiers and receive civil status registration results online or directly or via postal services; the draft law assigns the Government to detail the entire online process for most civil status procedures (except for marriage registration procedures where guardians must be present at the civil status registration agency...).
Regarding civil status books, electronic data is mainly used; only marriage registration uses both electronic books and paper books (in accordance with the characteristics and traditions that both men and women must be present to express their willingness and sign marriage registration books and marriage certificates).
Civil status documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates and civil status confirmation documents. The Government will specifically regulate the issuance of civil status documents (electronic version, paper version, original version, copy).
The draft law assigns the Government to direct the review and training of civil status nghiệp vụ, consolidate the contingent of civil servants performing civil status work; stipulate conditions and standards for civil status workers to ensure the performance of tasks and powers assigned in the law.
