American Citizen Services

General Information

American Citizen Services (ACS) unit assists the U.S. citizens in emergencies, and also provides routine services such as processing passport applications, issuing Reports of Birth Abroad to U.S. citizen children born in Vietnam, providing overseas voting assistance, giving information on Social Security and Veterans' benefits, distributing income tax forms, notarizing documents, and registering Americans living or traveling in Vietnam.

The American Citizen Services unit cannot act as your travel agent, bank, lawyer, investigator or law enforcement agent. Please do not expect the office to find you employment, get you residence or driving permits, act as interpreters, search for missing luggage, or settle disputes with hotel managers. You may not stay at the U.S. Embassy --Consulate General-- if you are stranded. However, the office can tell you how to obtain help on these and other matters.
