Do I need a certified/apostilled birth certificate for a child entering Vietnam if the child has their own passport?

TL;DR
If the child has their own passport, citizenship is already stated there — an apostille or consular stamp on the birth certificate is not required. Still bring the original birth certificate along with the passport.
What the community said
Confirmed again: if the child has a separate passport, no red stamp is needed on the birth certificate since citizenship is already listed in the passport.

If the child has their own passport, citizenship is stated there, so an apostille stamp on the birth certificate isn't mandatory.

No consent from the other parent is required, even if divorced, as long as there's no official travel ban. Always carry the original birth certificate along with the passport.
