When a birth is registered, the number issued is linked to a data system that spans multiple provinces and can be used as “my number” in administrative procedures for life. 80% of provinces and cities nationwide have started issuing personal identification numbers for residents as of October 2019, and approximately 2.6 million people have applied Approximately 2.6 million people have already applied. Even in regions that are not yet equipped, connection to the data system is underway, and it is expected to be operational in all regions by 2020.

Data sharing aims to simplify procedures and reduce costs

The lengthy and complicated procedures involved in administrative procedures have long been a problem. This has been especially true for procedures that span multiple ministries and between the central and local governments, so there is an urgent need to link the databases of the national government, local governments, and specialized agencies. The public expects that administrative procedures will be simplified and costs will be reduced. According to the government, the operation of personal identification numbers will minimize the need for repeated requests for personal information disclosure, issuance of certificates, and photocopies in about 1,300 administrative procedures. The government estimates that VND1.6 trillion (approximately 7.48 billion yen) will be saved annually.
