How to file a police report in Da Nang as a foreigner
Votre position n'est envoyée que si vous appuyez. Rien d'automatique.
Go to the police station for the ward where it happened, report clearly, and leave with the stamped record (biên bản). Your bank and insurer only accept the stamped version. I come with you and interpret so it is right the first time.
- Police : 113
- Commissariat du quartier concerné
- Obtenez le PV tamponné
- Listez chaque objet et sa valeur
- Gardez l'original et une photo
$30/hour, told before we start. I come to you in person, 7 days a week.
Rendez-vous au commissariat du quartier où cela s'est produit, et ne partez pas sans le procès-verbal tamponné (biên bản).
Votre procès-verbal ne compte qu'avec le tampon
1 Le bon commissariat, pas le plus proche
C'est le commissariat le plus proche du lieu des faits, presque toujours le bon quartier. Si l'accueil vous envoie dans un autre quartier, c'est celui-là, allez-y.

Dites-le en vietnamien
Do this now
- Go to the ward (phường) police station where the incident happened, not just any station, or they send you away.
- Report clearly and list every item with value: phone, cards, passport, cash. Accuracy is what makes it usable.
- Ask for the stamped record (biên bản). An unstamped note is worthless to your bank or insurer.
- Keep the original and a photo. You will need it for claims, replacements and your embassy.
Do not
- Ne déposez pas plainte dans n'importe quel commissariat, le mauvais quartier vous renverra et vous fera perdre la journée.
- Ne repartez pas avec une note non tamponnée, votre banque et votre assureur n'acceptent que le PV tamponné.
- Ne signez pas le PV en vietnamien avant qu'il vous soit interprété, on ne corrige pas ce qu'on a déjà signé.
- N'omettez aucun objet volé ni sa valeur, un PV incomplet affaiblit votre demande d'assurance.
Da Nang has ward stations across Hải Châu, Sơn Trà, Ngũ Hành Sơn, Thanh Khê, Liên Chiểu and Cẩm Lệ. The right one is the ward where the incident happened. I know which counter handles foreigners and I go with you so nothing is lost in translation.

Common questions
Do I really need a police report?
For a bank chargeback, an insurance claim, or a replacement passport, yes. Those bodies require the stamped report as proof. Without it your claim usually stalls.
They told me to come back later, is that normal?
Sometimes, but often it is a language gap. When I interpret and ask for the stamped biên bản directly, it is usually handled the same visit.
Can you translate the report into English?
Yes. I provide a signed English translation of the stamped report that your bank, insurer or embassy will accept.
