Certified Translation of Bank Statement (Vietnamese)
A Vietnamese bank statement is how you prove financial capacity for a visa, a university place or a US sponsorship. I translate it into English and sign a certificate of accuracy, reproducing every amount, balance and date exactly as printed. As the translator I certify the translation; I am not a notary, and for USCIS no notarization is required.
Embassies, universities and USCIS sponsors routinely ask for a bank statement, a balance confirmation or a savings book to show that tuition, living costs or a sponsored relative can be covered. When the document is in Vietnamese, the receiving authority needs a complete English translation whose numbers match the original to the last digit. That is what a certified translation delivers.
Đây là giấy gì
A Vietnamese bank statement (sao ke ngan hang) is a bank-issued record of the transactions and balances on an account over a period. You will meet several related documents: the full transaction statement (sao ke), a point-in-time balance confirmation (xac nhan so du), and the passbook or savings book (so tiet kiem) for a term deposit. Each carries the bank's letterhead, an account holder name, an account number, a currency, running balances and, usually, a bank stamp and an authorized signature. Statements come in Vietnamese dong and, for foreign-currency accounts, in USD or other currencies.
Khi nào bạn cần bản dịch có chứng nhận
You need a certified English translation whenever an authority asks for proof of funds: student and visitor visa applications, university admission and scholarship files, and US immigration where a sponsor documents financial capacity (for example alongside Form I-864). USCIS accepts a translator's certificate of accuracy and does not require the translation to be notarized. Embassies and universities may add their own rules, such as a statement dated within a set number of days, which I match on request.
Các trường thông tin chính và cách xử lý
| Trường thông tin | Cách xử lý |
|---|---|
| Account holder name | The name is transcribed with its Vietnamese diacritics and set to the same English spelling as the passport and the rest of the application file. |
| Account number, bank and branch | The account number, bank name and branch are reproduced exactly so the authority can tie the statement to the applicant and verify it if needed. |
| Currency and amounts | Every amount, running balance and closing balance is carried across digit for digit, with the currency (VND, USD) kept explicit and the Vietnamese number format handled correctly. |
| Statement period and transaction dates | The statement period and each transaction date are rendered unambiguously so a reviewer cannot misread the day and month order. |
| Balance confirmation figure | For a balance confirmation letter, the confirmed available balance and the confirmation date are reproduced precisely, as this is the figure the authority relies on. |
| Bank stamp and authorized signature | The bank's stamp, the signer's title and any reference number are described in the translation, with [stamp] and [signature] notations where applicable. |
Lỗi thường gặp với loại giấy này
A single wrong digit fails the check
Proof of funds is judged on the numbers. I reconcile every balance and total against the source so no amount is off by a digit or a decimal place.
Vietnamese number and date formats
Vietnamese statements use a dot as the thousands separator and dd/mm/yyyy dates. I convert these carefully so a balance is never misread by a factor of a thousand or a wrong month.
Statement, balance confirmation or savings book
These three documents prove funds in different ways. I label exactly which one was translated so the authority knows whether it is seeing account activity, a snapshot balance or a term deposit.
🏛 Cơ quan nào chấp nhận
A certified English translation of a Vietnamese bank statement is accepted by US embassies and consulates, USCIS and the National Visa Center for sponsorship files, and by universities, scholarship boards and immigration authorities in English-speaking countries. What these bodies look for is a complete translation with the translator's signed certificate of accuracy and figures that match the original exactly; notarization is not part of the USCIS requirement.

Does a bank statement translation need to be notarized for USCIS?
No. USCIS requires a certified translation, a complete English translation with a signed certificate of accuracy from the translator. Notarization is not required.
Will the amounts and balances match my statement exactly?
Yes. Every figure, running balance and closing balance is reproduced digit for digit, with the currency kept explicit, because proof of funds is judged on the numbers.
Do you translate a savings book or a balance confirmation letter too?
Yes. The transaction statement, the savings book (so tiet kiem) and the balance confirmation (xac nhan so du) are all handled, and I label which document was translated.
My statement is long. Do you translate every page?
I translate the complete document the authority asked for. If only a balance confirmation is required, send that; if the full statement is required, I translate it in full so nothing looks omitted.
