Why can't I use level 2 electronic identification account when flying?

This morning (June 1), the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam met with relevant units to deploy the use of level 2 electronic identification accounts for passengers when checking in for flights.

Previously, Noi Bai Airport ( Hanoi ), Phu Bai Airport (Hue) and Van Don Airport have piloted the use of biometric authentication for air passengers.

A representative of Noi Bai International Airport said that the pilot implementation began late this morning at the airport. Passengers using level 2 electronic identification accounts have been granted electronic identification by the police on the VNeiD system.

To use it for check-in procedures when flying, passengers log in to VNeiD and give it to airline staff to scan to replace identification documents or citizen identification cards.

Noi Bai Airport representative also noted that the pilot is applicable to passengers who voluntarily have a level 2 electronic identification account on VNeiD. The airport recommends that passengers bring an additional citizen identification card or personal identification document in case the account has problems and they cannot log in to VNeiD.

In addition, airports have not yet invested in scanning systems, so they use personal phones of airline staff to scan identification codes. Therefore, to avoid congestion, passengers should log in to their accounts before checking in so that airline staff can scan them.

From June 1, pilot program not requiring citizen identification when taking flights

Meanwhile, no passenger flying from Tan Son Nhat has been able to use an electronic identification account instead of a citizen ID card when checking in for flights. The reason is that they are still waiting for the police to organize training for the staff and security at the port.

Specifically, a representative of Tan Son Nhat Port informed that, according to regulations, in order to be able to carry out this work, aviation security officers and employees must use smartphones, register for a level 2 electronic identification account and be instructed on how to organize implementation and check passenger information...

To prepare for the pilot support as planned by the Civil Aviation Authority, Tan Son Nhat has organized the registration of level 2 electronic identification accounts for all officers and employees at the port over the past week. However, up to now, the Ministry of Public Security has not yet planned to organize training for the port's security staff.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport also recommends that passengers in the pilot phase should not rely too much on the level 2 electronic identification account because in case the phone has problems or the information does not match, without a citizen ID card, the information cannot be processed to board the plane. Therefore, passengers should still be cautious and bring identification documents according to regulations.

In particular, families with small children should note that all documents must be stamped with a red seal. Airport security does not accept photocopies of identification documents such as birth certificates without a notarized seal confirming the original copy.

Speaking to Thanh Nien , an official from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said that on May 31, the Ministry of Transport issued a document allowing the trial, so yesterday the units received instructions from the Authority on this method. Because the form is so new, there are many problems. This morning, the Civil Aviation Authority and the Department of Administrative Police for Social Order - C06 (Ministry of Public Security) held a meeting with airlines and airports to agree on understanding and implementation methods.
