BIRTH REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
One of the conditions for a newborn child to be registered for Vietnamese nationality is having one parent who is a Vietnamese national and the other being a foreigner who both agrees to choose Vietnamese nationality for their child in written “AGREEMENT ON CHILD’S NATIONALITY” agreeing to choose Vietnamese nationality for their child (click here to download the Form). The above-mentioned Agreement must be signed by both parents at the same time at the Consulate General, in front of the Consulate General’s officer.
In case of not being presented at the Consulate General in person, the parents are requested to go to the Notary Public (Koso Yakuba) near their residence to certify their signatures on the above-mentioned Agreement which also requires the stamp seal by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA) (sample here)
Parents should check with the nearby Notary Public/ Local Municipal Legal Affairs Bureau on how to get both signatures certification and authentication by Japanese MOFA, or can come directly to the Osaka Legal Affairs Bureau at this address (sample here).
