Step 1: Prepare the necessary documents as outlined in Section 1 and submit them to the competent authority for resolution.
Step 2: Submit the completed documents to the People’s Committee at the communal level, which has the authority to handle such matters.
In cases without foreign elements:
– Submit the documents to the People’s Committee in the residential area of the person being recognized or the person recognizing the parent-child relationship.
The processing time should not exceed 3-5 working days from the date of receiving complete documents, and in cases requiring verification.
In cases with foreign elements:
– Submit the documents to the People’s Committee at the district level in the residential area of the person being recognized as a parent or child.
– All parties involved in the parent-child recognition must be present during the registration process.
Step 3: The official receiving the documents is responsible for checking the validity and completeness of the submitted documents and comparing the information in the registration form with the supporting documents. If the documents are complete and valid, the official will issue a receipt stating the date and time of the result; if the documents are incomplete or require improvement, the official will guide the applicant on how to supplement or improve the documents according to the regulations. If immediate supplementation or improvement is not possible, a written guide will be provided, detailing the required documents or improvements, along with the signature and full name of the receiving official.
– After receiving the complete set of documents, if the parent-child recognition is deemed valid and uncontested, the civil status official will report to the Chairman of the Commune-level People’s Committee. If the Chairman approves the request, the civil status official will record the recognition in the Register of Parental and Filial Recognition, and guide the applicant to verify the information in the Extract of Parental and Filial Recognition and the Register. The Chairman of the Commune-level People’s Committee will then sign and issue the Extract of Parental and Filial Recognition to the applicant.

5. Special Cases of Parental and Filial Recognition
Unmarried couples living together
When a man and a woman live together as husband and wife without a marriage certificate and have a child together, the recognition of the child by the father (or mother) does not require the consent or involvement of the other parent, provided that they cannot be contacted. If the application includes a birth certificate and the personal papers of the other parent, their information must be filled in according to those documents. Otherwise, the applicant provides the information and is solely responsible for its accuracy before the law.
Child born and registered before marriage
If a child is born and registered before the parents’ marriage, and the father’s (or mother’s) information is missing from the birth certificate, a written acknowledgment of the child by both parents after marriage eliminates the need for parental recognition procedures.
In this case, a supplementary procedure is carried out to add the missing parent’s information to the Household Register and the child’s birth certificate.
A written acknowledgment of the child by both parents after marriage makes parental recognition procedures unnecessary
Child born before marriage but registered after marriage
If an unmarried couple has a child before marriage but does not register the birth until after their marriage, and both parents acknowledge the child in writing, the father’s (or mother’s) information will be included in the child’s birth certificate without the need for parental recognition or supplementary procedures.
