HÀ NỘI — The Việt Nam Register will research integrating vehicle registration data and electronic registration certificates into the electronic identification application (VNeID).

The Vietnam Register (VR) has proposed the Ministry of Transport set up a project of applying information technology and digital transformation in the management and operation of the registration work by 2026.

According to the agency, the information technology infrastructure that was set up and invested since 2003 has not been supplemented or upgraded enough to meet the requirements of software systems, e-Government architecture and information security.

Professional software programmes have been built individually over many periods of time, and many use outdated programming technologies that no longer meet user needs.

Besides, some fields do not have specialised management software, and have not yet built a shared database system and general reporting module.

Therefore, applying information technology and digital transformation in the management and operation of registration work helps provide high quality services to people and businesses as well as facilitate the integration and sharing of data between units, helping to improve responsiveness and flexibility in management of the register agency.

With the proposal, the agency hopes that at least 50 per cent of administrative procedures can be done remotely online by people and businesses.

In addition, the application will create software and tools to support people and businesses in looking up data and vehicle registration information, carrying out online services including registration reservation and online payment that are provided by registration units, as well as form centralised databases to uniformly manage registration activities, connect and share data with relevant units.

Notably, applying information technology and digital transformation in the management and operation of registration work will provide vehicle registration documents and certificates in electronic form to replace paper copies of documents and certificates.

VR will co-ordinate with units of the Ministry of Public Security to research and integrate vehicle registration data and electronic registration certificates into the electronic identification application (VNeID) to facilitate people and businesses and State management agencies. VNS
