Vietnamese Translation for Business

Manufacturing and supply chain. Vietnam is a major production base for electronics (Samsung, Intel, Apple suppliers), footwear and apparel (Nike and Adidas suppliers), and furniture. We translate supplier agreements, work instructions and SOPs, safety data sheets, quality and social-compliance audit reports, codes of conduct, and worker training — in both directions. → Industrial translation · SDS translation · Technical manuals

Legal and corporate. Investment and joint venture agreements, company registration documents, employment contracts, and court documents, with translators familiar with Vietnamese legal terminology. → Legal translation · Contract translation

Medical and healthcare. Patient materials for Vietnamese-speaking communities in US health systems, medical records, prescriptions, clinical documents, and pharmaceutical labeling. → Medical translation · Pharmaceutical translation

E-commerce, apps, and marketing. Vietnam's online shoppers buy on mobile marketplaces and social commerce. We localize product listings, app interfaces, and campaigns with correct diacritics and the right register, so listings are searchable and read naturally. → Website localization · App localization · Marketing translation

Finance. Financial statements, audit reports, investor materials, and banking documents for companies investing in or reporting from Vietnam. → Financial translation

Also available: transcription, subtitling, voice-over, and proofreading of existing Vietnamese translations.

Certified Vietnamese to English Translation for USCIS

Every Vietnamese-language document filed with USCIS needs a complete English translation and a signed translator certification under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Notarization is not required.

Multi-page documents receive lower per-page rates.

Vietnam-specific notes:

• Original vs extract. Many applicants no longer hold the original birth certificate and submit a certified extract (Trích lục khai sinh) issued by the local People's Committee. Both are translated the same way.
• Judicial record certificate. Vietnam issues two forms of the Phiếu lý lịch tư pháp. Check the U.S. Department of State reciprocity schedule for Vietnam to confirm which your case requires before you request it.
• Household registration book (Sổ hộ khẩu). Vietnam phased out the paper household book at the start of 2023 in favor of electronic residence records. Older books still appear in files and can be translated; newer cases may use a residence confirmation (Giấy xác nhận thông tin về cư trú) instead.
• Names. Reproduced exactly as on the source, with passport spelling noted on request.

Every certified translation includes: complete translation of text, seals, and annotations; the signed Translation Accuracy Certificate; 24-hour delivery for most 1–2 page documents; and the USCIS acceptance guarantee.

Getting Vietnamese Right

Every diacritic matters. Vietnamese marks six tones and several vowel sounds with diacritics, sometimes two on one letter. Drop them and the meaning changes: ma, má, mà, mả, mã, mạ are six different words. Our translators write fully accented Vietnamese, and we deliver Unicode-correct files that display properly on websites, apps, marketplaces, and PDFs. Legacy-encoded source files (VNI, TCVN3) are converted, not guessed at.

Names stay consistent across your file. Vietnamese names run family name first (Nguyễn Văn An) and carry diacritics on civil records, while passports and US forms often drop the accents or reverse the order. We reproduce names exactly as on the source document and can note the passport spelling, so every document in your case refers to the same person.

The right register for your reader. Vietnamese has no neutral "you." Customer copy usually addresses readers as "bạn" or, in formal service contexts, "quý khách." Internal and HR materials follow workplace conventions. We set the register in the brief so the whole project reads consistently.

Northern or Southern vocabulary. Written Vietnamese is standard nationwide, but everyday words differ — "chén" vs "bát" (bowl), "dù" vs "ô" (umbrella). Formal and official content usually follows Northern-standard usage; consumer content for Ho Chi Minh City or Vietnamese-American audiences often reads better with Southern vocabulary. Tell us your audience and we match the translator.
