WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Vietnamese Single Status Certificate (Giấy xác nhận tình trạng hôn nhân)
The Giấy xác nhận tình trạng hôn nhân confirms a person is single, divorced, or widowed, and is issued by the commune-level People's Committee where the applicant holds permanent or temporary residence — under Decree 120/2025/NĐ-CP this sits firmly at commune/ward level after the district tier was abolished. Two quirks matter for USCIS. First, per Circular 04/2020/TT-BTP the certificate is valid only until the person's marital status changes or six months from issuance, whichever comes first, so a K-1 fiancé(e) or I-130 filing needs a recent one — we translate that validity clause explicitly. Second, the form names a specific purpose and often the intended spouse, and Vietnamese officials issue it for that stated use, so the declared purpose must read consistently with the petition. Our certified translation preserves the commune office name, the issue date, the residence period the confirmation covers, and the purpose statement, with full-diacritic names surname-first — the details that let an adjudicator treat the single-status confirmation as current and case-specific.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Vietnamese Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Vietnam, civil-status records come from the Ủy ban nhân dân cấp xã/phường (Commune/Ward-level People's Committee), the civil-status registrar overseen nationally by the Bộ Tư pháp (Ministry of Justice). Vietnam acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 31 December 2025, and it enters into force for Vietnam on 11 September 2026; documents authenticated on or after that date carry a single apostille (issued in Vietnam by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs / Cục Lãnh sự), replacing the former multi-step consular legalization through the U.S. Mission.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Vietnamese Single Status Certificate Translated
For your Vietnamese single-status certificate, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Vietnamese original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Vietnamese Single Status Certificate Pitfalls
Vietnamese single-status certificates vary in scope — in some countries they attest only to the issuing registry's own records, while countries with a centralized national register cover the whole country — so the English wording must state your certificate's actual scope precisely, and name romanization must match the passport.
