What is the Processing Time for a Criminal Record Certificate?

Clause 1, Article 48 of the 2009 Law on Judicial Records stipulates as follows:

The time limit for issuing a Judicial Record Certificate is no more than 10 days from the date of receiving a valid request. In cases where the person being issued a Judicial Record Certificate is a Vietnamese citizen who has resided in multiple places or has resided abroad, a foreigner as stipulated in Clauses 2 and 3 of Article 47 of this Law, or in cases where verification of conditions for automatic criminal record expungement as stipulated in Clause 3, Article 44 of this Law is required, the time limit shall be no more than 15 days.

Thus, within 10 days from the date of receiving a valid request, you will be issued a Judicial Record Certificate. In cases where you have resided in multiple places or have time abroad, the time limit shall be no more than 15 days.

Respectfully!
