Renew a Vietnamese Passport in the USA

Is your Vietnamese passport about to expire — or already expired — while you're living in the U.S. and unable to travel home? You can renew (replace) your Vietnamese passport right here in the U.S. without flying back or waiting in line at a Consulate. The whole process is surprisingly light: you just send a few phone photos, VietVisas handles the rest, and your new passport is delivered free to your door. You also pay only after your application is approved, so there's almost no risk in getting started.

Who is this for, and when?

For Vietnamese citizens living in the U.S. (adults and children). Get a new passport when:

• Your passport has less than 6 months left, or has already expired.
• The passport has run out of stamp pages.
• Your name changed after marriage, or your details changed.

Pick the right service: if you lost your passport or it's badly damaged, see Replace a lost Vietnamese passport. For a child, see Vietnamese passport for children.

What do you need to prepare?

Very little — usually just a few photos you can take on your phone (no notarization, no complicated paperwork) plus your mailing details. Every case is a little different, so instead of a long checklist, a specialist sends you the exact list for your situation the moment you message us — and reviews everything before filing, so nothing is missed.

New to renewing a Vietnamese passport in the U.S.? Don't worry — a specialist walks you through each step, from how to take the photos correctly to the fastest way to send them. No notary visit, no office trips; it's all done right from your phone.

The 4-step process

1. Message us — via Messenger, Zalo, phone, or email. A specialist sends you the document list to prepare.
2. Send a few photos as guided (phone photos are fine).
3. VietVisas files & tracks your application with the Consulate / competent authority.
4. Receive it at home — free, tracked delivery. You pay only after it's approved.

Time & cost

• Free, tracked delivery — typically within about 2 business days, to all 50 states.
• From $175, all-in. If your passport has been expired more than 10 years: $210 (includes express shipping from the Consulate to your home).
• Pay later, not up front — via Zelle, Venmo, or any major credit card once your application is approved.

Why choose VietVisas?

• Fully handled in the U.S. — no trip to Vietnam, no waiting in line.
• Remarkably light — just a few phone photos; your original passport stays in your hands.
• Pay only after approval — nothing due up front.
• Bilingual support — real people, in Vietnamese, not a chatbot.
