Passport Advisory Service
Standard Passport
Full Package
The ordinary passport is the most basic and important travel document for Vietnamese citizens — travel, study, business, settlement, labor export and many other international purposes.
Procedures today can be completed in person, by post, or online via VNeID. VLIC helps prepare documents in compliance with regulations and the correct declaration form — avoiding rejected applications and saving travel time.

Support
Identify the correct case (new issuance, renewal, reissue), choose the right form, and submit to the proper agency based on permanent or temporary residence — avoid multiple trips from submitting to the wrong office.
Complete the TK01 form in accordance with Circular 31/2023/TT-BCA. Verify the portrait photo meets technical standards and supporting identity documents are complete and valid — minimize the risk of rejection.
First-time passport applications require certification and photo endorsement from the commune/ward/town police where you reside. VLIC guides the process and helps complete this step before official submission.
Submit the application at the provincial Immigration Management Agency, by post, or through the Ministry of Public Security online system. Track the application status and notify you promptly when results arrive or supplementary documents are needed.
Child applications are completed and signed by a parent or legal guardian. VLIC supports filling the form, preparing a birth certificate, obtaining commune/ward confirmation, and submitting the application — parents do not need to visit the Immigration Management Agency in person.
Vietnamese citizens residing abroad can apply at the Vietnamese representative office (embassy or consulate) in the host country. VLIC advises and helps prepare documents according to the requirements of each representative office.
Yes, if you have a valid 12-digit chipped Citizen Identity Card (CCCD). In this case, you may submit a first-time passport application at the provincial Immigration Management Agency in the most convenient city/province — permanent household registration is not required. From the second application onward, all citizens may submit at a convenient location regardless of CCCD type. If you only have an old 9-digit CCCD or CMND, first-time applications must be submitted at the place of permanent or temporary residence.
Under the Exit-Entry Law 2019 (amended 2023), ordinary passports issued to citizens aged 14 and older are valid for up to 10 years from the issue date. Passports issued to children under 14 are valid for up to 5 years from the issue date until the child turns 14. Importantly, ordinary passports cannot be extended under any circumstances — when expired, a new passport must be applied for. Expedited ordinary passports are valid for up to 12 months and also cannot be extended.
The regulatory processing time is no more than 8 working days from the date a complete valid application is received — applicable to both adults and children under 14. Weekends and holidays are not counted. Applications are accepted Monday to Friday and Saturday morning (locality dependent). Results are issued Monday to Friday. In practice, many localities and online submissions via VNeID may process faster than the regulation.
No. Under the regulations, passport applications for children under 14 are completed, signed, and submitted by a parent or legal guardian. The child does not need to come to the Immigration Management Agency in person. Note: grandparents may not submit on behalf of the child unless they are the legal guardian with supporting documents. First-time child applications require commune/ward police certification and photo endorsement in the place of permanent or temporary residence.
If your passport is lost, you must report the loss to the Immigration Management Agency and submit a loss declaration (or confirmation of reporting) together with the reissue application. The reissue fee for loss or damage is 400.000đ per passport — double the standard new issuance fee of 200.000đ, effective under Circular 25/2021/TT-BTC from 01/01/2026. Bring the original CCCD when submitting the application. The processing time remains up to 8 working days.
