Vietnam proposes digital ID law to fight fraud and expand national framework

Vietnam's government has submitted a draft Law on Electronic Identification and Authentication to the National Assembly. It would formalize a national system built on the VNeID platform, set rules for authentication providers and ban fake biometrics and AI-generated images. Cross-border recognition of electronic identities is also proposed.

• Draft submitted by Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang
• Framework would cover people, products, assets, databases and digital services
• Fake biometric data and AI-generated images would be prohibited
• Vietnam is piloting VNeID links with Singapore's Singpass and Laos' LAeID
