I was lucky to have a birthday certificates. But my fiance like many others doesn't have a birthday. Anybody run into this problem before? I was so worry about the I-129F but it's approval now. I hope some one can give me a peace of mind.

Hi Huan,

Below I've detailed some information for you from the FAQ section of the US Consulate in HCMC website.

I am unable to submit my original birth certificate. What should I do?

If you are not able to obtain a birth certificate because records have been destroyed or the government will not issue one, you must obtain a statement to that effect from the civil registrar's office and submit secondary evidence of birth. Secondary evidence of birth can be old family household registrations, school records, or baptismal certificates.

How can I obtain for my birth certificate? In case, I cannot obtain my birth certificate, what can I do?

Individuals born in Vietnam who need new copies of their Vietnamese birth certificates need to contact the office of the People's Committee of the district where they were born: the district where their mother was then resident according to her Ho Khau. The district People's Committee can issue certified copies of a birth certificate (Ban Sao) based on their records of the original birth certificate. Alternatively, the office may provide an Extract (Trich Luc) of the information in the birth record on file in their office.
