Hi,

My family and I have recently relocated to Hoi An, we are traveling on DN type visa's.

At present we are staying in a guest house until a suitable house etc is identified - I believe it is necessary to register with the the local police is this correct ? and if so what documentation would be required ?

Cheers

It's the landlords' responsibility, not yours.  If they register online, then they'll take a photo of every member of your family's passport.  If they do it in person, then they'll take a photocopy.  Some may ask to take the real passports with them to the police saying it's required by law.  Whether or not it's true, I've never allowed my passport to leave my presence.
