Digital governance refers to the process of applying digital technologies to innovate the operational methods of public authorities, with the aim of enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of governance as well as the quality of public services. In Vietnam, digital transformation has been identified as an inevitable trend, strongly driven by the policies and directives of the Communist Party and the State. The revision of the existing legal framework is currently underway to align with the policy of streamlining the state apparatus and promoting digital transformation, ensuring consistency with newly enacted laws in the present period. Within this context, the field of administrative penalty enforcement is also under pressure to leverage technology in order to address the shortcomings of traditional methods. In practice, the conventional administrative sanctioning process in Vietnam remains cumbersome, slow, and insufficiently integrated with modern technological tools, resulting in cumbersome procedures for citizens and challenges for authorities. Consequently, digital transformation in administrative penalty enforcement is expected to simplify procedures, enhance transparency, and improve the effectiveness of law enforcement.
