Essential documents for air travel instead of household registration books
For domestic flights
As mentioned earlier, household registration books cannot be used for air travel. Therefore, when booking domestic flights, passengers need to understand the types of documents allowed for air travel instead of using household registration books.
For Vietnamese citizens aged 14 and above, it is required to have a valid ID card/citizen identification card for air travel. In case of forgetting or losing the ID card/citizen identification card, the following types of documents can be used as substitutes for the ID card/citizen identification card to complete the check-in process:
Alternative documents for ID card/ citizen identification card
For Vietnamese citizens under 14 years old who do not have an ID card/citizen identification card, the original or certified copy of the birth certificate with a clear red stamp from the local People's Committee can be used to complete the check-in process.
Furthermore, if passengers do not have all the aforementioned documents, they must obtain a personal identity confirmation paper from the ward or commune where they are registered for residence/temporary residence. This paper will be valid for 30 days and passengers can use it when traveling by air.
For foreign passengers, when traveling on domestic flights, it is necessary to present a passport valid for no more than 6 months from the date of travel.
For international flights
For international flights, passengers of all ages are required to have a passport for check-in procedures. No other document can replace a passport. Additionally, some countries may require a visa or entry permit for passengers upon arrival. Passengers can obtain these documents through the Embassy/Consulate of the respective country in Vietnam or at the airport upon arrival, depending on the policies of each country.
Some countries offer visa exemptions for Vietnamese citizens with stays of less than 30 days, which passengers should research before booking international flights. In these cases, you only need to prepare your passport and complete the boarding procedures, similar to domestic flights.
Passengers need to ensure that all documents used for air travel contain clear and legible information, without smudging, missing characters, stamps, or numbers, and should not be damaged. Additionally, certified photocopies or photos of passengers' personal documents will not be accepted during flight check-in procedures.
