Procedure for Issuing the Latest Citizen Identification Card

Article 11 Circular 59/2021/TT-BCA (Effective from July 1, 2021) stipulates the procedures for issuing Citizen Identification Cards as follows:

1. Citizens shall visit the competent police authority where they are permanently or temporarily residing to request the issuance, replacement, or re-issuance of their Citizen Identification Cards.

2. The police officer at the receiving station for requests concerning the issuance, replacement, or re-issuance of Citizen Identification Cards will collect the citizen's information: search for citizen information in the national population database; select the type to be issued and describe the distinguishing features; collect fingerprints; take portrait photographs; print the citizen’s identification information receipt, the Population Information Collection Form (if applicable), the Population Information Update and Modification Form (if applicable) for the citizen to check, sign, and clearly write their full name; collect fees as prescribed; and issue an appointment slip for the return of results.

3. Collect the current People's Identity Card or Citizen Identification Card in case the citizen performs the procedure to switch from the People's Identity Card to the Citizen Identification Card or to replace the Citizen Identification Card.

4. Search the citizen identification archives to verify citizen information (if applicable).

5. Process and approve the dossier for issuance, replacement, or re-issuance of the Citizen Identification Card.

6. Return the Citizen Identification Card and the results of issuance, replacement, or re-issuance of the Citizen Identification Card. In case the citizen registers to return the Citizen Identification Card to the address requested, the police authority will compile a list and cooperate with the delivery service unit to implement and the citizen must pay the fee as prescribed.
