Vietnamese civil records are issued by the People's Committees at the commune (xã) and ward (phường) level, which gives them a distinctive format that USCIS officers recognize. We translate Vietnamese birth, marriage, and household-register documents from native translators familiar with both Northern and Southern conventions.

Source countries we cover: Vietnam.

What USCIS requires for a foreign-language document

  • Full English translation

    Every word, stamp, seal, and marginal note on the foreign document must be rendered into English — not summarized.

  • Signed Certificate of Accuracy

    The translator certifies, in writing, that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate from the source language to English.

  • Original visible alongside translation

    USCIS expects the certified English translation to be submitted together with a legible copy of the original foreign-language document.

  • Independent translator

    The translator cannot be the applicant or beneficiary. Self-translations are routinely rejected, even when accurate.

Common pitfalls with Vietnamese documents

Vietnamese diacritics

Tone marks change meaning. Translators must preserve them when rendering the original and use the official passport romanization for English.
