Frequently asked questions

Do I have to change my ID card or land certificate to the new address?
No. Documents already issued remain valid. The address is updated when you renew them or start a new administrative procedure.
How is the new address written?
House number, street, the new ward or commune, the new province or city. No district.
What if my old ward was split between several new wards?
The tool marks the answer "Please check" and lists the possible new wards so you can pick the right one by house number and street.
Where does the data come from?
Codes and names follow the Statistics Office list; the old-to-new mapping follows Resolution 202/2025/QH15 and the Standing Committee resolutions on the 2025 commune reorganisation.
