That's exactly what it is to the tune of 3000USD. I have the letter from Clark County that states they do not issue those being translated now and going to bring it over to them this afternoon. Also going to print out that regulation in Vietnamese and bring it to them also.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Looks like I won round 1. They said if I get the letter that states they do not issue "no marriage records found" letter from Clark County notarized at the embassy they will accept that. So I am in Hanoi now taking care of that.

I am sure they will try and throw me some more curve balls before it is all said and done.

Yes that poor hard working Vietnamese official is just going to have to wait a little longer before trading in her 2013 Lexus LS 600h L for a new 2014 model.
