Information that parents need to provide to obtain a personal identification code for their child
Based on the regulations of Article 13 of Decree No. 137/2015/ND-CP on the structure of personal identification numbers, the personal identification number consists of a 12-digit natural number. This structure includes the first 6 digits, representing the century of birth code, gender code, year of birth code, province code, centrally-run city code, or the country code where the citizen is registered for birth declaration, and the last 6 digits are a random number range.
According to Article 14 of Decree No. 137/2015/ND-CP, to be granted a personal identification code, parents need to provide the following information about the child:

- Gender
- Place of birth registration
- Hometown
- Ethnicity
- Nationality
- Full name and nationality of the father, mother or legal representative of the child, except in cases where the father, mother or legal representative cannot be determined.
How can you check your child’s personal identification number?
Based on the regulations of Article 5 of Circular No. 59/2021/TT-BCA, the personal identification number and information of citizens are determined based on the Citizen Identity Card number or the personal identification number in the Birth Certificate. In cases where citizens have been issued the Citizen Identity Card, the information on the Citizen Identity Card and the personal identification number in the Birth Certificate will be used to carry out transactions with relevant agencies, organizations, and individuals.
Based on Article 14 of Decree No. 137/2015/ND-CP, the procedure for issuing a personal identification number to citizens is as follows:
- In cases where the electronic household registration database is connected to the national population database, when receiving sufficient documents to register birth, the management agency, household registration authority immediately transfers the information of the registered person to the national population database. The information to be collected includes the last name, middle name, and full name at birth, date, month, year of birth, gender, place of birth registration, hometown, ethnicity, nationality, and the full name and nationality of the father, mother or legal representative.
- In cases where the national population database is not operational or the electronic household registration database is not connected to the national population database, the management agency, household registration authority immediately transfers the information as prescribed to the national population database via the internet. The management agency of the national population database grants access accounts to the household registration authorities and transfers the personal identification number of the citizen upon receiving the birth information via the Internet.
In case the citizen has registered a birth but has not been issued a personal identification number, the management agency of the national population database establishes a personal identification number for the citizen based on the available information in the national population database.
Therefore, parents can check the child’s identification number on the birth certificate or contact the local police in the area where the child’s birth certificate was registered for timely assistance.
