An affidavit of single status Vietnam is a sworn statement confirming that you are legally free to marry. It is required for all foreigners and overseas Vietnamese intending to register a marriage in Vietnam. Depending on your nationality, this document can be issued either by:
Your home country embassy or consulate in Vietnam, or
The competent authority in your home country, with consular legalization before use in Vietnam.
Once issued, the affidavit must be translated into Vietnamese and notarized for submission to the local People Committee where the marriage will be registered.
Full Legal Service Package: Affidavit of Single Status + Marriage Registration Support
In addition to the affidavit of single status Vietnam, foreign nationals must prepare other documents, such as:
Valid passport and visa/residence permit.
Birth certificate (in some provinces).
Divorce decree or death certificate (if previously married).
Medical certificate confirming mental capacity for marriage (in certain jurisdictions).
All foreign-issued documents typically need to be legalized and translated into Vietnamese before submission. The process can take several weeks, especially if multiple government agencies are involved.
When you combine affidavit of single status Vietnam assistance with marriage registration support in one package, you gain:
Streamlined Process: A single legal team handles every step, from securing your affidavit to completing your marriage registration, ensuring all documents are properly prepared and submitted.
Time Efficiency: Lawyers can anticipate potential issues, prepare translations, and secure necessary legalizations without unnecessary delays.
Legal Compliance: By ensuring your documents meet Vietnamese standards, you avoid the risk of rejection or additional administrative requirements.
Representation and Liaison: Lawyers can represent you before Vietnamese authorities, submit documents on your behalf, and follow up until the marriage certificate is issued.
