Article 41 of the Law on Exit and Entry of Vietnamese Citizens specifies the types of information stored in the National Immigration Database. This database ensures the government can manage, verify, and protect the identity of citizens when they travel abroad or return to Vietnam.
✅ Key Information Stored in the Database
The national database includes:
Personal details: Full name, date of birth, gender, place of birth.
Nationality and identification numbers: Citizen ID number, personal identification code.
Immigration papers: Passport number, type of passport, issuance and expiry dates.
Exit and entry history: Dates, border checkpoints, purpose of travel.
Legal status: Records of exit postponement, restrictions, or violations (if any).
This information is digitalized, securely stored, and managed centrally, ensuring transparency, consistency, and accuracy in immigration procedures.
