If I change my 9-digit ID card to a CCCD or a chip-embedded CCCD, do I need to update the CCCD for the Social Security? Instructions for the procedure to change my ID card to a CCCD on the online Social Security book

Social insurance is a social welfare system to ensure the rights of people, especially workers. All information on the social insurance book of the insured person must be correct and accurate. So when switching from ID card to CCCD, do workers need to update the information on the social insurance book? Let’s find out with fdiinvietnam.com in the article below.

Do employees need to update their CCCD for social insurance?

According to Article 27 of Official Dispatch No. 2089/VBHN-BHXH of Vietnam Social Security, the re-issuance, exchange or adjustment of content on social insurance books and health insurance cards are regulated in the following cases:

1. Re-issue social insurance books due to loss, damage, or consolidation of social insurance books;
2. Re-issuance of social insurance books with changes in name, surname, middle name; date of birth; gender, ethnicity; nationality; adjustment of content on social insurance.

In summary, employees who change their ID card to CCCD do not need to reapply for a new social insurance book, but need to carry out the procedure of updating the CCCD on the social insurance book to unify the database across the entire insurance system of the country.

Does an incorrect ID card/CCCD number on the social insurance book affect employee benefits?

In Official Dispatch 3835/BHXH-CST, it is clearly stated: to avoid the situation where employees have to travel many times, causing inconvenience and affecting the unemployment insurance benefits of employees, the Job Introduction Center is not allowed to return the unemployment insurance settlement file when there is no match in the ID card/CCCD number, date of issue, place of issue or permanent residence with the Social Insurance book.
That is, the wrong ID card/CCCD number does not affect the procedures and benefits of any social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance regimes. However, to avoid wasting time reviewing the procedures for receiving benefits from insurance, you should update your CCCD for Social Insurance according to the instructions of fdiinvietnam.com below.
