Hi

I wonder how long it is to get a marriage certificate in Vietname.

Had all paper work done and just need to know when to hand it in.

What are the time frame?

I will be in VN in Oct.

You should send it to your finace now and hope that they can schedule you for an interview asap when you get to Vietnam. After the interview you're looking anywhere from 1-4 weeks for approval, sign the book, & get your certificate.

Speaking for myself, I was very fortunate and was able to submit and get my certificate in 2 weeks. Make sure whatever you have everything and it's complete and in multiple copies (it'll save you ALOT of time!)

My wife police certificate took over 50 days!

She filed for it in March and didn't receive until the end of May.

We tried bribing the local official (who my wife knew well) but he said it was out of his hand because it has to go all over Vietnam.

Police Certificate is only needed at the immigration process. The OP was specifically inquiring about the marriage certificate.

...our Police Certificate took about 3 or 4 weeks, but I had my husband request it as soon as I found out that our case was forwarded to NVC. So we received it just in time!

Sometime it is easier if you don't know the person. They can just take the money without going into loop.
