Additional amendments to official passports in Vietnam representative agencies abroad refers to the process of making changes to an official passport that has already been issued by a Vietnamese representative agency abroad. This could be necessary for a variety of reasons, such as:

• A change in the passport holder’s name, date of birth, or other personal information
• The addition or removal of a child from the passport
• The renewal of the passport’s validity period
• The replacement of a damaged or lost passport

To apply for additional amendments to an official passport, the passport holder must submit the following documents to a Vietnamese representative agency abroad:

• A completed application form
• Three identical passport-sized photographs
• The original passport
• A copy of the passport holder’s Vietnamese identity card or national ID card
• Any other supporting documentation, such as a marriage certificate or birth certificate

The processing time for additional amendments to official passports varies depending on the Vietnamese representative agency. However, it is typically within a few working days.

Once the amendments have been processed, the passport holder will be required to pay a fee and collect their amended passport.

Here are some examples of additional amendments that can be made to an official passport at a Vietnam representative agency abroad:

• Adding or removing a child’s name from the passport
• Changing the passport holder’s name or date of birth
• Updating the passport holder’s address
• Extending the passport’s validity period
• Replacing a lost or damaged passport

If you are a Vietnamese citizen living abroad and need to make additional amendments to your official passport, you should contact your nearest Vietnamese representative agency for more information.
