Medical Examination for Marriage with a Foreign National: Where to Go?

Section 1, Article 38 of the Civil Status Law 2014 stipulates the procedure for marriage registration with a foreigner as follows:

Both male and female parties shall submit a declaration form according to the prescribed template and a medical certificate from a competent medical organization of Vietnam or a foreign country confirming that the individual does not suffer from a mental illness or other diseases that render them incapable of awareness or control over their behavior to the civil registration authority.

.....

When registering a marriage with a foreigner, both male and female parties must have a medical certificate from a competent medical organization of Vietnam confirming that they do not suffer from a mental illness or other diseases that render them incapable of awareness or control over their behavior.

Therefore, you may contact specialized psychiatric hospitals for a health check before marrying a foreigner. If there is no specialized psychiatric hospital in your locality, you can contact the provincial general hospital for assistance.

Sincerely!
