Vietnam is advancing its digital transformation through administrative reforms in identity management, social security, customs, and real estate. Under Decree No. 301/2026/ND-CP, effective September 1, 2026, the government integrated procedures for birth registration, permanent residence, and health insurance for children under six via the National Public Service Portal. The Law on Identity 2023 also mandates card renewals at ages 14, 25, 40, and 60.

New regulations under Decree No. 320/2026/ND-CP, effective September 28, 2026, introduce stricter requirements for VNeID accounts. To enhance security and ensure digital identities are linked to correct subscribers, electronic identification accounts may be automatically locked if the registered mobile number is no longer officially owned by the user. Authorities, including the Phu Tho Provincial Police, have advised citizens to verify that their VNeID accounts are linked to mobile numbers registered in their own names to avoid service disruptions.

Furthermore, the government is expanding electronic identity access to foreigners legally residing in or entering Vietnam. In provinces such as Lao Cai, officials are accelerating the activation of level 2 electronic identities for children aged 6 to under 14. 

In the telecommunications sector, Vietnam is scheduled to officially cease nationwide 2G network broadcasting on September 15, 2026, advising users to ensure their devices are VoLTE-enabled to avoid disruptions. In social security, Vietnam Social Security (VSS) has reported recovering over 330 billion VND from late or evaded payments. Regarding real estate, the national information system recorded over 3,400 transactions and 120 projects as of early September.
