How many days does it take to get results for marriage registration in Vietnam? Can I register my child's birth without transferring my name to my husband's household in Vietnam?

Can I register my child's birth without transferring my name to my husband's household in Vietnam?

Currently, my child is applying for a birth certificate but I have  not yet transferred my household registration to my husband's side. Can I use my husband's hometown to apply for a birth certificate? Look forward to receiving your feedback.

In Article 13 of the 2014 Civil Status Law, it is stipulated:

Article 13. Competence to make birth registration

Commune-level People's Committees of the places of residence of fathers or mothers shall make birth registration.

Thus, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, even if the wife has not yet transferred her residence to her husband's house, she can still carry out the birth registration procedure at the locality where the husband resides. As for the hometown of the father and mother on the birth certificate. The civil status officer will rely on the information of the father and mother on the marriage certificate, ID card, and household registration book of the person registering the birth to make friends. And currently, civil status officials use the industry's data software to determine that problem. So information about the hometown of the father and mother in the above case is still recorded normally.

How many days does it take to get results for marriage registration in Vietnam?

Is the lawyer familiar with marriage registration procedures in Hanoi? When registering for marriage, will the results be returned the same day or will it take a few days? Is it enough to bring along the documents including the household registration, identity card of the couple and my single certificate (because the registration is at the husband's household registration)? Thank you very much!!!

Article 18 of the 2014 Civil Status Law regulates marriage registration procedures:

1. The male and female partners shall submit the marriage registration declaration, made according to a set form to the civil status registration agency and must be both present at the time of marriage registration.

2. Immediately after receiving complete papers specified in Clause 1 of this Article, if seeing that the marriage conditions are fully met in accordance with the Law on Marriage and Family, the justice and civil status officer shall record the marriage in the civil status book and together with the male and female partners sign in the civil status book. The male and female partners shall both sign the marriage certificate; the justice and civil status officer shall report to the chairperson of the commune-level People's Committee to organize the handover of the marriage certificate to the couple.

In case of necessity to verify the marriage conditions of the male and female partners, the time limit for settlement is 5 working days.

Thus, in the case of a domestic marriage, the results can be available on the same day. In cases where it is necessary to verify the marriage conditions of both male and female parties, the time limit for resolution is no more than 05 working days. When carrying out the procedure, you must submit the identity cards of both husband and wife, the husband's household registration book, and a certificate confirming that your marital status is complete in Vietnam.

What should I do if I have the wrong ID card number on the marriage certificate in Vietnam?

My wife and I just registered our marriage. Recently, I took out my marriage certificate and saw that the ID card number on my birth certificate was wrong. So, can you advise me what to do if I have the wrong ID card number on the marriage certificate? Sincerely thanks.

According to the provisions of Article 46 of the 2014 Civil Status Law, the People's Committee of the commune where your marriage is registered will have the authority to correct the marriage registration certificate with the wrong ID card number.

Regarding the order and procedures for registering civil status correction, based on Article 28 of the 2014 Civil Status Law stipulates:

1. Requesters for registration of civil status change or correction shall submit declarations, made according to a set form, and relevant papers to the civil status registration agency.

2. Within 3 working days after receiving complete papers specified in Clause 1 of this Article, if seeing that the civil status change or correction is proper and compliant with civil and relevant laws, the justice and civil status officer shall record such change or correction in the civil status book and together with the registration requester sign in the civil status book, and report to the chairperson of the commune-level People's Committee to issue an extract to the requester.

In case of civil status change or correction related to birth certificates or marriage certificates, the justice and civil status officer shall record the change or correction content in these certificates.

In case of necessity to verify, the time limit may be prolonged for no more than 3 working days.

3. In case of registering civil status change or correction not at previous places of civil status registration, commune-level People's Committees shall issue written notices together with civil status extract copies to People's Committees of previous places of civil status registration for recording in the civil status book.

In case the previous place of civil status registration is a representative mission, the commune-level People's Committee shall issue written notices together with civil status extract copies to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for forwarding to the representative mission for recording in the civil status book.

You just need to go to the People's Committee of the commune where you reside to request a correction of the marriage certificate according to the above procedures in Vietnam.

We hope that our advice will help answer your questions.

Best regards!
