How to file a police report in Da Nang as a foreigner
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.
- 警察：113
- 事发所在坊的派出所
- 取得盖章的笔录
- 列出每件物品及价值
- 保留原件并拍照

前往事发所在坊的派出所，没有拿到盖章的笔录（biên bản）不要离开。
报案记录必须有章才算数
1 对的派出所，不是最近的那个
这是离事发地最近的派出所，几乎总是正确的坊。如果值班台让你去另一个坊，那才是要去的地方，请前往。

2 离开前，逐项核对这五点
用越南语说
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
- 不要在随便哪个派出所报案，去错坊会被退回，白白浪费一天。
- 不要拿着没有盖章的便条离开，银行和保险公司只认盖章的笔录。
- 在有人为你口译之前，不要签署越南语笔录，已签的内容无法更改。
- 不要漏掉任何被盗物品或其价值，不完整的笔录会削弱你的保险理赔。
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.
