E-Identification Registration Deadline for Enterprises by July 1, 2025

Enterprises to complete Electronic identification account registration before July 01, 2025 

To promote digital transformation in state management activities and establish a legal framework for the use of electronic identification in administrative procedures, on June 15, 2024, the Government issued Decree No. 69/2024/ND-CP (“Decree 69/2024”) on electronic identification and authentication. 

Decree 69/2024 provides detailed regulations on the management, issuance, and use of electronic identification accounts for individuals and organizations in their transactions with state authorities. Notably, enterprises are required to register an organizational electronic identification account before July 1, 2025. 

According to Clause 4, Article 40 of Decree 69/2024, accounts previously registered by enterprises on the National Public Service Portal and the ministerial or provincial-level administrative procedure resolution information systems shall remain valid until June 30, 2025. After this date, enterprises are mandated to use an electronic identification account via the VNeID application to access the National Public Service Portal and relevant administrative procedure resolution systems in accordance with regulations. 

Procedures for issuance of electronic identification accounts for enterprises: 

• The legal representative, head of the enterprise, or an authorized person shall use a level-2 electronic identification account to log into the VNeID application, provide the required information, and submit a request for account issuance. In case of direct submission, the applicant shall complete the request form TK02 (attached to Decree 69/2024) and submit it to the management authority of electronic identification and authentication or any convenient identity management authority.  
• The management authority of electronic identification and authentication shall verify the enterprise’s information using the national databases on business registration and other national or specialized databases. If such information is not available in these databases, the authority shall conduct a verification. 
• The management authority shall notify the result of the registration through the VNeID application, the registered mobile phone number, or email. In case of ineligibility for account issuance, the authority shall provide a notice stating the reasons via official document, text message, or through the applicant’s electronic identification account. 

Important notes: 

Currently, no penalties are stipulated for enterprises that have not yet registered for an electronic identification account. However, if electronic identification is not completed before July 01, 2025, difficulties may be encountered in the execution of administrative procedures, potentially leading to disruptions in business operations. 

Enterprises are exempt from fees when registering for an electronic identification account. 

To ensure uninterrupted business operations, enterprises are advised to complete the registration of their electronic identification accounts via the VNeID application before the specified deadline.
