Does anyone know anyone who can get a birth certificate made in Ba Ria- Vung Tau? Thanks!

Be more specific. who is it for? YOU? a USC? or VNC?

What you mean by "made in", as if you lost your original? and need a certified copy?

I have the same problem. I was born in 1978 and lost all the originals when we left VN as refugees. The town I was born in didn't keep records. I am providing everything else that I can to prove my DOB such as copy of my license, passport and anything that has my DOB on it.

If the Consulate demands my birth certicate, then I won't know what to do....

You can always have an affidavit of birth certificate. Pretty much you go to HCMC, show them your passport, sworn in front of the Consular Officer there, stating that what you say on your affidavit of birth certificate is TRUE: you were born in 1/1/1978 in Vietnam. Done deal! Cost you $50. That piece of paper is as good as your Birth Certificate. Remember, what you say on it will come back and haunt you if it's not true! That's how I did when I was in Saigon back in 2004, thought we would go the K3 route that why I applied one.

Hope this helps and I make myself clear... need coffee now...

I need to get a copy of my birth cert. I'm the petitioner and an USC. Born in a small town in Ba Ria Vung Tau. Am doing a CR1.

So as far as getting the affidavit of birth cert. I just go down to the consulate, pay my fee, swaer before the officer, and that's it? Seems too easy? Do you know if this process is still valid? Thanks!

You don't even need your Naturalization Cert, just your passport. Who travels oversea with their Birthcertificate (US Born citizen) and who travels with his NC? People travel with their Passport. You can not have your passport issue if you can not prove you are a USC, via US-BC or NC. And go further back, if you weren't born here, you couldn't get the BC or if you were qualified and met all requirement by the USCIS, they weren't issuing your NC either. Why I am telling you this? Because when you are inside HCMC, some C.O. will try to ask you: where is your Naturalization Certificate? Your SSN Card? Your State ID/DL? Any proof of your Birth origin? All you need to show them is: US Passport. It contains ALL the information they need, but your address in US. About the other documents, explain to them you would not carry those vital and important documents around Saigon and risk being robbed and lost. At least that what I said to the C.O. when she asked why I didn't have my PA DL on me, in my wallet?

Good luck!
