Pursuant to Article 10 of Circular 55/2021/TT-BCA regulating revision of residence information in residence database as follows:

1. In case of change of household head, the household head to be replaced must give their consent in the declaration of change to residence information (unless they have given their consent in writing) or household head election agreement of household members or document deciding household head of the Court must be provided. In case the household head is deceased or missing or lacks legal capacity, besides household head election agreement of household members, a death certificate or the Court’s decision declaring that the household head is deceased or missing or lacks legal capacity must be provided.

2. In case of change to civil status information compared to information in the residence database, documentary proof of permission for such change from the competent civil registration authority must be provided. If information on the change is already available in the electronic civil status database, such documentary proof is not required.

3. In case of change to address of place of residence due to change to administrative unit boundaries, administrative unit name, name of street, neighborhood, village, commune or hamlet, or house number, the competent residence management authority shall update the address in the residence database based on the document on change to administrative unit boundaries, administrative unit name, name of street, neighborhood, village, commune or hamlet, or house number from the competent authority.

Thus, when your family wants to change the name of the household head in the Residence Database, the opinion of the household head is required in the Declaration to change residence information, unless written consent has been obtained.
