Translating Admission Letters from English into Vietnamese for Military Service Exemption Applications

Translating Admission Letters from English into Vietnamese for Military Service Exemption Applications

1. Why is it necessary to translate an admission letter when applying for military service exemption?

According to the Law on Military Service of Vietnam, male citizens of conscription age may be deferred or exempted from military service if they are currently studying at universities or colleges, either domestically or abroad.

For those enrolling in institutions overseas, the admission letter (Offer Letter/Admission Letter) is usually issued in English. When submitting the application to the local military authority, applicants are required to include a certified Vietnamese translation of the letter.

👉 Therefore, ensuring that the admission letter is translated accurately, promptly, and in compliance with legal requirements is a crucial step in completing the exemption procedure.


2. When do you need to translate an admission letter?

  • When you receive an admission letter from a foreign university or college.

  • When you are preparing the application for military service deferment or exemption at your local authority.

  • When the military authority requires a certified Vietnamese translation of the admission letter for verification purposes.


3. Requirements for a translated admission letter

A qualified translation of an admission letter should:

  • Accurately convey key details: full name, date of birth, institution name, major/program, enrollment period, signature, and seal.
