VNEID was developed under the coordination between the department, the Vietnam Social Security and the Ministry of Transport. E-identification accounts will display information of citizen identification, health insurance, driver's license, residence notification, and relationship between family members.
E-identification can be used by authorities and citizens during conducting administrative procedures without presenting the ID card with chip, health insurance card, driver's license and vehicle registration certification./.
