Government lists 20 key databases

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung has signed a decision promulgating the List of national databases.

The list, issued under Decision 11/2026/QD-TTg dated March 28, includes the national synthetic database, national population database, the location identification database, the electronic identity database, the national database on exit and entry, the national database on handling of administrative violations, the national artificial intelligence (AI) database, the national database on business registration, the national database on insurance, the national land database, the national database on health, the national database on education and training, among others.

According to the decision, the Ministry of Public Security is tasked to organise, provide guidance on, and inspect and urge, the implementation of the Decision. The ministry will coordinate with related authorities in synthesizing, reviewing and proposing amendments or supplements to the List of national databases for submission to the Prime Minister for approval.

Ministries, ministerial-level agencies, government-attached agencies and provincial-level People’s Committees will develop the national databases under their respective management, ensuring compliance with the National Data Architecture Framework, the National Data Governance and Management Framework, and the Shared Data Dictionary. They will work with the Ministry of Public Security in proposing updates and adjustments to the List of national databases and directing their subordinate agencies to strictly comply with data-related regulations in the course of building databases.

The Decision says that data sharing methods must comply with the Government’s Decree 278/2025/ND-CP on mandatory data connection and sharing among agencies within the political system, and other relevant regulations.

Decision 11/2026/QD-TTg will come into force on May 19.
