Vietnam is set to issue digital ID cards for people to use in interactions with public agencies, complementing the VNeID mobile app. The country’s Ministry of Public Security says the digital ID will be supported for public sector services starting in early July, but to use it Vietnamese citizens will have to have the mobile app installed and set to level 2, state-run outlet.
Accounts can be opened at level 1 through the app, but level 2 applications must be completed in-person at an MPS or provincial police office. The digital ID can be integrated with health insurance and social insurance cards, driver’s licenses, marriage and birth certificates.
