Vietnamese Nationality Certificate

Assistance with Certificate of Vietnamese Citizenship

This service is intended for individuals who need a certificate of nationality status for use in specific applications. KeyApply collects the necessary information and coordinates the procedures; the competent authority is responsible for verification and the issuance decision.

Choose the right service

• Confirmation of Vietnamese citizenship: Confirms that an individual currently holds Vietnamese citizenship.
• Confirmation of Vietnamese origin: A different procedure; it does not automatically prove current citizenship.
• Application for restoration of citizenship: A specific procedure for those who have lost or renounced their citizenship and meet the eligibility requirements.

Cases submitted in Ottawa

The Embassy’s current guidelines cover cases where the applicant still holds a valid Vietnamese passport. If you no longer have a passport or it has been expired for a long time, you must confirm the nationality/identity verification process with the consular office before booking a package; do not assume you have lost your citizenship on your own.

Initial document review

Submit the Vietnamese documents you currently possess, foreign passports/documents, name change documents (if applicable), your place of residence, and the purpose of the document. KeyApply will check the required list before you prepare the originals/certified copies, photos, and application forms.

Use the forms currently provided by the receiving agency; do not use old form codes just because they were used for previous applications. When verification is required, additional documents may be requested, which will extend the processing time.

Processing time and urgent service

According to the Embassy's current guidelines, the certificate of citizenship is valid for 6 months from the date of signature. Please check the validity period required by the receiving authority before proceeding. Choosing urgent processing on our product requires confirmation of feasibility and does not guarantee that the agency will issue it within 24 hours.

The scope of packages and any out-of-pocket expenses are confirmed before proceeding; courier costs depend on the delivery method.
