Costs and expenses incurred from issuing and using eID accounts and using e-authentication services
1. Any eID holder that is a Vietnamese agency, non-person entity or citizen shall be exempted from paying costs incurred from registering and using eID accounts created by the electronic identification and authentication system.
2. Any non-person entity or individual using e-authentication services shall pay fees and charges to e-authentication service providers in accordance with law.
Thus, based on the above regulations, any eID holder that is a Vietnamese agency, non-person entity or citizen shall be exempted from paying costs incurred from registering and using eID accounts created by the electronic identification and authentication system.
However, for any Vietnamese citizen who is not holding a chip-based ID card, the eID account registration will be performed with the issuance of a chip-based ID card.

Circular 44/2023/TT-BTC has regulations on a 50% reduction in fee for issuance of a chip-based ID card from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. Therefore, in this case, citizens will pay the fee for issuance of a chip-based ID card of VND 15,000.
