What is the difference between giấy khai sinh and trích lục khai sinh?

The giấy khai sinh is the certificate issued at registration. A trích lục is an extract of the register issued later, and is what most people receive today when requesting a copy. Both are acceptable to translate; send whichever you were given.

How is the Vietnamese name order handled?

Vietnamese names are written family name first. We keep the order as registered and add a translator's note where useful so an Australian officer can match it to your passport.

My sổ hộ khẩu was cancelled — does that matter?

Vietnam phased out paper household books in favour of the electronic residence database. If you still hold the paper book and it was requested, we translate it; if you were issued a residence confirmation form instead, we translate that.

Do you translate consular legalisation?

Yes. Vietnamese documents used overseas often carry Department of Justice or consular certification pages, and we translate those alongside the certificate.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

$59 per page, with your complete order back within 24 hours.

Do you need the original?

No. A clear scan or photo showing the full page and the red seal is enough.

Vietnamese birth certificate (giấy khai sinh)

Giấy Khai Sinh Translation into English

Vietnamese births are registered with the ward or commune People's Committee, which issues the giấy khai sinh and, for later copies, a trích lục (register extract). We produce NAATI-certified English translations from $59 per page with 24-hour turnaround.

When a giấy khai sinh translation may be needed in Australia

Australian bodies ask for evidence of birth or parentage rather than for the Vietnamese document by name. If you have been asked to provide it, a certified English translation is normally expected.

If you have been asked to evidence birth or parentage for a partner, child or family application
For student and dependent visa files where family relationships must be shown
Where a name or date of birth must be reconciled against your passport
For consular, inheritance and family-law matters connected to Vietnam
Where a registration board or employer has requested a certified identity document

Issued by: People's Committee (Ủy ban nhân dân) of the ward or commune / Department of Justice

NAATI Certification

How we translate Vietnamese civil documents

Our NAATI-certified Vietnamese translators reproduce the People's Committee form layout, register number (số), book reference (quyển số), the registrar's title and the red seal, and carry Vietnamese diacritics across exactly as printed. Handwritten entries on older certificates and consular-legalisation pages are translated in the same pass.

Giấy khai sinh — original certificate, including handwritten older formats
Trích lục khai sinh — register extract issued for later copies
Giấy chứng nhận kết hôn — marriage certificate
Sổ hộ khẩu — household book, where still held
Diacritics preserved and name order clarified for Australian readers
