75-year-old man happy to be issued ID card after more than 30 years of waiting

Mr. Hue said that for more than 30 years, he and his children have not been issued identification papers because their Vietnamese or Cambodian nationality has not been determined, so it is very difficult every time they leave the locality.

He and his son also cannot have their names on any vehicle registration or real estate documents because they do not have any identification.

"Now that we have been granted identity cards under the new Law on Identity Cards, my children and I feel more secure in our work and lives. I am very happy and thank the State and the police very much," Mr. Hue confided.
