My wife found out that she has the same so chung minh nhan dan (CMND) as another person. Apparently this isn't too uncommon. She wants to keep her number, but as slow as things work over there, it's just easier to get a new number.

The problem is, the old number is on our marriage license and her recent passport.

My question is: what possible complications could there be from getting a new number?

I'm sure there will be a trail of paperwork documenting her change from the old number to the new. If she does change it, she'll need to get a new passport. I'm pretty sure we can't get another marriage license issued.

Please, any help would be appreciated.

She should go to the Cong An Phuong/ police office in her town. That is where a person would go to get a replacement ID.

Thanks. From what I understand, changing the CMND would only take about a week, but in order to keep it (i.e. get the other person to change theirs) is more of a hassle and time-consuming.

I'm just worried about future hiccups and trouble when an official sees one number on the marriage license and a different one on her passport/giay CMND.

I'd get any number change documented and submit a copy just in case.

The Vietnamese love to keep their lucky numbers. My wife got miffed at her choice of cell numbers here in the US. :lol:

I'd say to heck with it and just keep the one she has...as long as the other person doesn't have the same name and markings, I think she'll be fine! :)

Thanks again guys.

Lindal - I like that idea the best. No hassles and it'll make things much simpler and easier.

Also, I think the other person might be a male, so that should help things further.:)

If I were you, that's what I'd do too. Just keep going and figure the chance of it being an issue is very small.

And it saves you the coffee money from going to the local police station to deal with the number snafu.
