On November 26, Ho Chi Minh City’s People’s Committee organized a conference to deploy the plan to implement the National Assembly’s Standing Committee’s Resolution on the rearrangement of the city’s communal-level administrative units for the 2023 – 2025 period.
According to the National Assembly’s Resolution, the city will rearrange 80 wards in 10 districts (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, Binh Thanh, Go Vap, and Phu Nhuan) to form 41 new wards. Accordingly, from January 1, 2025, the rearranged administrative units will officially operate, and Ho Chi Minh City will reduce 39 wards.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Tham, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Home Affairs, said that the rearrangement of the apparatus and the handover of infrastructure at the 41 new wards would be carried out in two phases. The first phase involves organizing the rearrangement, establishment, and merger of the Party organizations, socio-political organizations of the wards under the new unit’s name. Changes to seals, nameplates, and signage of agencies and units according to the new name will also be made during this phase.
In the second phase, starting from January 1, 2025, after the new administrative units commence operations, they will continue to streamline the organizational apparatus and personnel when rearranging and preparing the necessary conditions to successfully organize the Party committee elections for the 2025 – 2030 term.

Checking, inspecting, and evaluating the implementation of procedures for converting various papers related to people’s lives and social security for individuals and organizations.
Regarding office headquarters, out of the total of 327 offices in the 80 pre-merger wards, 249 offices are expected to continue in use. Schools will not be merged, ensuring that students are served as before. Meanwhile, health stations in the merged wards will be combined into one unit but will maintain operations in the old facilities to serve the people.
Over 1,000 redundant officials, civil servants, and public employees will be rearranged according to the roadmap
After the rearrangement of the wards, there will be a surplus of 1,022 officials, civil servants, public employees, and non-specialized staff at the grassroots level.
The number of redundant officials after the merger of communes and wards will include: secretaries, chairmen of the People’s Committees of wards, chairmen of women’s unions, associations of former soldiers, associations of the elderly, secretaries of the Youth Union, etc. The positions that need to be rearranged before January 1, 2025, are secretaries and ward chairmen.
The Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee said that the city would not rearrange everything at once but would implement it annually from now until 2029. The city will apply many policies to support the team of redundant officials, giving priority to local arrangement and, in case the officials meet the requirements but the locality has enough quota, they will be introduced and nominated to the higher-level agency.
“The number of surplus personnel will be arranged according to the personnel plan of each district. This personnel can be transferred to other positions, to the departments and branches of the district that lack personnel or received to become civil servants,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Tham, Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Home Affairs, quoted by Dantri.
Ms. Tham also affirmed that there would be no case of officials leaving the public sector after the rearrangement of administrative units. Ho Chi Minh City’s officials are mostly qualified and highly specialized, so they can be transferred from one position to another when there is a surplus.
Cases of early retirement or personnel reduction are those with weak health or retirement age as prescribed.
People do not need to change papers immediately
The change of administrative boundaries and the names of many wards will lead to the need to adjust personal and business papers such as citizen identification, land papers, bank accounts, addresses on product packaging, business cards, etc.
It is estimated that about 800,000 people will have to adjust their papers due to changes in administrative boundaries and ward names (3 wards of Rach Ong, Hung Phu, and Xom Cui in District 8).

Regarding administrative procedures after the rearrangement of administrative units, Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Vo Van Hoan affirmed that people do not need to change papers immediately after January 1, 2025. The city requires relevant agencies and units to recognize the legal validity of old papers and only make changes when legal events arise.
Mr. Hoan also requested the public security sector to update the new address in the national population database to serve as a basis for other sectors.
“When people need to adjust, this must be done for free, without collecting any fees,” said Mr. Hoan, quoted by Lao Dong.
