According to Vietnam’s current regulations, place of temporary residence means a place other than the registered place of permanent residence where a citizen lives and has registered his/her temporary residence.

According to Circular No. 35/2014/TT-BCA of the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam, a temporary residence registration dossier must comprise:

- The notice of change in household registration or membership; household membership declaration (for cases requiring such declaration);

- Papers and documents proving the lawful domicile as prescribed in Article 6 of Decree No. 31/2014/NĐ-CP of Vietnam’s Government (unless householders possessing household registration books or temporary residence books give consent to the temporary residence registration).

+ If the lawful domicile is leased, borrowed or permitted for stay from a person, upon temporary residence registration, this person’s consent to temporary residence registration must be written on the notice of change in household registration or membership, with his/her signature and full name.

+ In case this person has made a written consent to temporary residence registration, his/her  consent is not required in the notice.

If temporary residents are permitted by householders to be listed in temporary residence books or to register their temporary residence at the latter’s permanent residence places, such permission shall be written in the notice of change in household registration or membership, with their signatures, full names and dates.
