Việt Nam Moves to Fast-Track a Digital Citizen Rating System via Government Resolution

A draft government resolution on scoring and ranking citizens through the VNeID digital identification platform, proposed by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), has been classified as an “urgent and important issue,” according to the explanatory memorandum released alongside the draft.

Rather than being introduced as a law—normally requiring passage by the National Assembly—the regulation is being proposed in the form of a government resolution.
