Documents needed to apply for a passport.
A valid original Citizen Identification Card (CCCD/CMND) is the only document required for a first-time passport application. For a second passport application, the old passport is required if it is still valid. Children under 14 years old need a birth certificate and parental consent certified by the People's Committee.
Passport collection time after online submission
Provincial-level passport processing takes 14 working days from the date of receipt of complete documents. Citizens can pick up their passports at the Provincial Immigration Management Department according to the scheduled SMS appointment. An expedited passport service (5 working days) costs 500,000 VND.
Electronic chip passports to be introduced in 2026.

Alternative immigration portal
The portal https://hochieu.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/ supports online passport application forms. Citizens enter personal information, check, and submit the electronic form. This portal only supports the information entry step; application submission is still done through the Public Service Portal.
