Birth registration overdue for people born abroad and have citizenship Vietnam
Birth registration is the process of recording a child’s birth with the government. It is an important legal step that establishes the child’s identity and citizenship. In Vietnam, birth registration is mandatory for all children, regardless of where they are born.
However, some Vietnamese citizens born abroad may have their birth registration overdue. This can be due to a number of factors, such as:
- The parents may have been unaware of the birth registration requirement.
- The parents may have had difficulty accessing the necessary documentation or services.
- The parents may have been living in a country with a complex or bureaucratic birth registration process.
Regardless of the reason, it is important for Vietnamese citizens born abroad to have their birth registered as soon as possible. Birth registration is required for a number of essential services, such as:
- Obtaining a Vietnamese passport or visa
- Enrolling in school in Vietnam
- Applying for a job in Vietnam
- Owning property in Vietnam
Vietnamese citizens born abroad can register their birth at the consular department of the Vietnamese embassy or consulate in the country where they live. The required documentation may vary depending on the country, but typically includes the following:
- A completed birth registration application form
- A copy of the child’s birth certificate from the country where they were born
- Copies of the parents’ passports or other valid identification documents
In some cases, the consular officer may also request additional documentation, such as a letter from a hospital or other medical professional confirming the birth.
Once the application is complete, the consular officer will review it and issue a Vietnamese birth certificate if all of the requirements are met. The birth certificate will be issued in Vietnamese and English, and it will be legally valid in Vietnam.
If you are a Vietnamese citizen born abroad and your birth registration is overdue, I encourage you to contact the Vietnamese embassy or consulate in your country to learn more about the process and requirements.
