Nationwide campaign to verify citizens' marriage data launched
PSNews - The Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme People’s Court co-organized a meeting to launch a 90-day nationwide campaign to verify citizens' marriage data and streamline the procedures for marital status certificate issuance, on the morning of June 4, in Hanoi.
Deputy Minister of Public Security Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Long, Deputy Minister of Justice Nguyen Thanh Tinh and Deputy Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court Pham Quoc Hung co-chaired the meeting.
Marital status data is a critical component of the National Population Database, directly related to essential public services such as birth registration, marriage registration, divorce proceedings, inheritance, death registration, and property transfers.
However, the current data remains fragmented and incomplete, resulting in inconveniences for citizens as well as inefficiencies and waste of resources for both state agencies and society.
The campaign aims to update data on all citizens’ marital status accurately and synchronously so that the updated data will be available and ready for use on the national information system, as well as displayed on the national digital identity application (VNeID).
The updated data on citizens’ marital status will also be of legal validity and a high level of reliability as they have been certified by competent agencies.
Discussing at the meeting, delegates intensively analyzed the current situation and proposed various approaches to effectively carry out the campaign nationwide.
Concluding the meeting, Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Long emphasized that leaders of provincial-level people’s committees and relevant agencies should all give first and foremost priority to the campaign and promptly draw up a blueprint for the deployment of the campaign in their localities.
The Deputy Minister assigned the Police Department of Social Order Administrative Management to coordinate with involved units of the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme People’s Court and local authorities to implement the campaign in a synchronous and serious manner in order to meet the deadline while ensuring the quality.
Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Long also called on relevant units under the three agencies to immediately initiate technical and procedural measures to update and synchronize marital status data nationwide.
