Source and verification
This page uses official public guidance from Vietnam National Public Service Portal. Some biometric values remain generalized where the public source does not publish every numeric detail.
Official Vietnam National Public Service Portal citizen-ID guidance was verified on 2026-04-13. The citizen-ID route is an official authority-managed procedure where identity data, fingerprints and facial image are collected for the card. The public page confirms the official service route, but not an applicant-supplied print-photo size, so this profile is modeled as official authority-capture guidance.
