Regarding the field of marriage and family, please ask: Is marriage registration between Vietnamese citizens and foreigners under the jurisdiction of Provincial-level People’s Committees?
Pursuant to Clause 1, Article 19 of Decree 126/2014/ND-CP regulating competence to register marriages as follows:
1. Provincial-level People’s Committees of localities where Vietnamese citizens register their permanent residence shall register marriages between Vietnamese citizens and foreigners and between Vietnamese citizens at least one of whom resides abroad.
Thus, in comparison with the above regulations, it can be seen that it is not only the case that the marriage registration between Vietnamese citizens and foreigners falls under the jurisdiction of Provincial-level People’s Committees but also between Vietnamese citizens at least one of whom resides abroad.
Best Regards!
