Citizen identification card (now ID card) is one of the important personal identification documents, showing basic information about the background and identity of citizens.
Information on the ID card is used in many administrative transactions of citizens. However, during the process of use, some people have accidentally lost, misplaced or let the ID card expire, reaching the time when it needs to be reissued.
Ms. Nguyen Thuy Trang (Thanh Hoa) said that the information on the Citizen Identification Card did not match the electronic information about her permanent residence that she had updated on the electronic public service portal. That led to Thuy Trang not being able to update level 2 identification on VNeID and causing many inconveniences during use.
Thuy Trang is worried, not knowing how many days she will have to wait to receive a new card if she has to re-apply for an ID card at the Department of Administrative Management of Social Order.
Similar to Thuy Trang, many people who have lost or misplaced their Citizen Identification Cards also have the same question.
Regarding this content, Lawyer Nguyen Trong Nghia - Hanoi Bar Association said: The Law on Identification takes effect from July 1, 2024, which stipulates the time limit for issuing, exchanging, and re-issuing identification cards.
