How to request a trích lục at a Vietnamese UBND
The Vietnamese request goes down to the commune: the UBND of the place of the act, the family's data, the authenticated power of attorney when acting for another. The national electronic database modernizes — the extract increasingly comes out of any connected counter, with the usual red stamp.
The kit
- The FULL names with diacritics (and the middle names — the national disambiguators).
- Date and the commune/district of the act; the CCCD (the chip ID card) when there is one.
- The parents' names; the lunar year when the family counts by it (the older generations do).
- The authenticated giấy ủy quyền for third parties.
The counter
The UBND serves in administrative hours with the house's ritual: forms, the queue, the red stamp that makes everything official. Hierarchical courtesy (the titles, the patience) is the grammar — the local executor speaks it natively.
Timelines and fees
Symbolic fees; issuance from days (connected) to weeks (the deep commune's book). The chain adds its links — the outside-The-Hague standard.
The supplementary paths
Where the war took the record: the UBND's confirmation with witnesses, the Catholic parish registers (Catholic Vietnam registered well), the French archives for the colonial era. The Vietnamese supplementary design is local and possible.
Frequently asked questions
Does the sổ hộ khẩu still exist?+
The classic household book was retired (2023) by the electronic database + CCCD — modernization in progress. The old ones remain a precious source of data.
Does the lunar year confuse dates?+
The older generations declared by the lunar calendar — divergences of months between documents are classic. The explanatory note resolves it; the custom is well known.
