translation is not the problem, you will need to get it notarized. if u do it in vn at the consulate it's around $50/page i think. in us it's around $15 (some say their banks do it for free but that might be smaller banks...don't have any luck with wells fargo or bofa).

For translation... you can do it your own, or your family can help you out.. for notarized.. it's better to do in US..

Just go into any lawyers or immigration services office in Vietnam and they'll do it for you. Most of them already has the document in their computer. All they do is fill in your personal info and put their stamp on it. Cost about 150,000 - 200,000 VND. Turn around time, about a day. You can then take it to U.S. consulate's American Citizen Services and get it notarize. In our case, I didn't even get it notarized and they accepted it.

if you in Vietnam.. just bring that paper go to Department of Justice ( So Tu Phap) they can translate to English version, the notarize and seal, That is what we did for our marriage cert.
