From July 1, the whole country will rearrange administrative units, reducing the number of provinces and cities from 63 to 34. This change entails adjusting the names, administrative codes and locations of thousands of communes and wards.

With nearly 13,000 service points nationwide, the software system, address data and delivery routes are all updated synchronously, preventing lost mail or address confusion.

Customers do not need to worry if they are not sure about the new address - because both the old and new addresses are accepted and processed correctly by the system. People do not have to declare again, do not have to update and do not incur additional costs.

Social security payments, social insurance, public administration, etc. are still guaranteed to operate smoothly as usual.

To avoid interruptions and errors in the processing of postal items, Vietnam Post has developed an automatic conversion tool between old and new addresses https://diachi.vnpost.vn, allowing users to use both types of addresses.

This tool allows flexible order processing, including Excel files or API connections. Currently, the tool has been integrated directly into the My Vietnam Post application.

Mr. Nguyen Hong Long, Director of the Network Operations Center, said that Vietnam Post currently owns a database of more than 23 million addresses that has been built, collected and standardized over many years. This is an important foundation for the Corporation to effectively deploy solutions to adapt to changes in administrative boundaries from July 1, 2025.

All operational software such as receiving, sorting, routing and delivering mail has been upgraded synchronously to suit the new territory. The Corporation has tested the system nationwide and trained 100% of employees and postmen at service points to master the address processing process according to the new list.

At the same time, people are also guided directly at transaction points or via the official application, website, and social network of the Post Office.
