Hanoi (VNA) - Hanoi is working ongradually digitising the household registration books of over 7.6 millionresidents, a move to simplify administrative procedures related to residencemanagement.

Citizens will be managed solely through theiridentification numbers on a new online national database. Personal transactionswill be performed solely through the national identification (NI) number andall changes to personal information will be updated on the national databaseand recorded alongside each person’s NI number.

Each citizen will be issued with a new identitycard and a 12-digit NI number, which incorporates all basic personalinformation, some of which is currently recorded in household registrationbooks.

The new ID card will include information such asname, place of birth, fingerprints, permanent address, marital status, and alldata relating to births, deaths, number of children and criminal convictions.

Three districts including Hai Ba Trung, Nam TuLiem and Long Bien have implemented e-citizen databases.

The remaining 27 urban districts, wards andcommunes in the city are reviewing existing household registration books toprepare for the digitisation process.

Hanoi is also applying information technologywidely in the registration and management of citizens’ information.

Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department ofJustice Pham Thanh Cao said that one of the highlights in the implementation ofCivil Law in the city was Hanoi’s focus on the application of informationtechnology in the registration and management of civil status.

This has helped make it more convenient forcitizens to deal with administrative procedures, reduce inefficiency and createfavourable conditions for civil servants to perform their duties, he said at aconference to review the three-year implementation of the Law on Civil Statusheld by the Hanoi People’s Committee on Thursday.

At present, all commune-level agencies in Hanoihave adopted online birth registration systems, Cao said.

In the first nine months of this year, over260,000 records related to residence books were moved online.

Locals in the capital city canaccess administrative procedures online, including registering a birth, deathor marriage, and certifying copied documents in Vietnamese.

The move was considered abreakthrough in Hanoi’s administrative reform towards a simplified andtransparent administration, said Cao.

However, the registration and management ofcivil status in the locality also revealed some inadequacies.

At the conference, the justice deputy directoralso proposed amendments and supplements to the regulations in the Law on CivilStatus in order to improve efficiency of the implementation of the civil statuslegislation.-VNA
