Removal of Permanent Residence Registration
The removal of permanent residence registration from the old address in the household registration book and the permanent residence registration number is the responsibility of the competent state agency. This ensures that an individual’s household registration information is unique, preventing the complication of multiple registrations and facilitating better management.
The removal of permanent residence registration should only be done after the new permanent residence registration has been established. Specifically:
- For communes, towns in districts of provinces
Within 5 days from the date of receiving the permanent residence registration at the new location, the individual (or head of the household) must bring the household registration book to the police to initiate the removal procedure. If the entire household is moving, only the head of the household needs to be present. If only one person is moving, that individual must handle the procedure or authorize another person to do so.
Removal of Permanent Residence Registration
- For districts, urban districts, or towns of centrally-controlled municipalities; towns or cities of provinces
In this case, the time limit is 10 days. After 60 days, if the removal procedure has not been completed, the citizen will be subject to a fine and will be compelled to comply.
Within 30 days from the date of the fine, if the permanent residence registration at the old address has not been removed, the district-level police of the centrally-controlled municipality will proceed to remove the permanent residence registration of the citizen.

Applicable Cases

Moving within the same town or city in the province;
