Additional amendments to official passports in Vietnam representative agencies abroad means that Vietnamese citizens living overseas can have their official passports amended or updated at their local Vietnamese embassy or consulate. This can be useful for a variety of reasons, such as:

• To change your name, date of birth, or other personal information
• To add or remove children from your passport
• To extend the validity of your passport
• To replace a lost or damaged passport

To have your official passport amended at a Vietnam representative agency abroad, you will need to submit the following documents:

• A completed application form
• Your current official passport
• Proof of your identity and residence in the host country
• Any supporting documentation for the amendment you are requesting

The specific requirements may vary depending on the embassy or consulate, so it is best to contact them directly for more information.

Once you have submitted all of the required documents, your passport will be amended and returned to you within a few days.

Here are some examples of additional amendments that can be made to official passports in Vietnam representative agencies abroad:

• Adding a new visa
• Changing your marital status
• Changing your occupation
• Changing your address
• Adding or removing a security clearance
• Correcting a typo or error in the passport

If you have any questions about whether or not a particular amendment can be made to your official passport, you should contact the Vietnam representative agency abroad where you plan to have the amendment made.
