Finding birth certificates in vietnam?

Question

I was born in Saigon Vietnam in 1976 in a French hospital at the time. What would be the best way for me to get a copy of my birth certificate?

Answer 1

That was a chaos time in Vietnam when the communist took over. I'm not sure you'll be able to find your birth certificate. However, you'll never know unless you try.

Was that Chợ Rẫy hospital? That was the biggest hospital in Saigon at that time. Still is.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Contact the Vietnamese embassy. I suspect the hospital officials were very efficient at recording live births, as would have the local authorities.
