Marriage Registrations

For foreign residents who are looking to get married in Vietnam, obtaining a marriage registration can be somewhat of a challenging exercise. It is vital that you and your partner are properly prepared for the process. At Family Lawyers, we assist you throughout, helping you to navigate the pitfalls, providing a seamless experience and ensuring a happy occasion follows.

In order to get married in Vietnam there are a considerable amount of documents that need to be prepared and furnished to the relevant authorities. The documentation requirements go above and beyond what you may expect and the arduous process can be confusing to many. Having a family law expert guide you, will ensure that your personal information, application and certificates are in order. Our vast experience, coupled with our exceptional attention to detail ensures that the documentation is prepared, compiled, and presented in a swift and effective fashion.

In addition to the documentation requirements, it will also be necessary for you to attend an in-person interview. The interview helps authorities to determine the legitimacy of the marriage. Family Lawyers will help prepare you and have you comfortable with what to expect for this component of the application procedure.

Family Lawyers provides a customized service, eliminating frustration and facilitating the obtainment of a marriage registration certificate. We achieve this by:

• Consulting you on the Vietnamese legal regulations and requirements applicable to your citizenship;
• Reviewing your dossier;
• Preparing and translating all relevant documents required for your marriage registration;
• Getting your documents notarized and legalized; and
• Accompanying you and your partner during the marriage registration

Additionally, Family Lawyers are capable of assisting you with the creation of another premarital legal procedure. If done amicably and carefully, a prenuptial agreement is a reliable tool that can protect your family’s financial interests and welfare in case of separation. Under the provisions of Vietnamese laws, this agreement must be made in writing, then notarized or legalized, all before marriage. The terms of a prenuptial can identify shared and separate assets as well as determine the rights and obligations of each spouse to each asset post-divorce. Tactful yet methodical, you can trust that our lawyers will leave no stone unturned whilst ensuring a composed and productive discussion between you and your partner.
