"Was informed" does not say much. Have you contacted the Vietnamese Embassy closest to you and the US Embassy closest to her? Have you contacted an attorney familiar with such cases? Generally initial consultations are free of charge. If Google does not help - try Martindale.com.

As long as you and your fianc茅e (with an extra e, unless your future spouse is a man) officially recognise the child as your 'con ngo脿i gi谩 th煤' (child born out of wedlock), your name can be on the birth certificate.聽 (The term 'con ngo脿i gi谩 th煤' will not be noted on the birth certificate, so no worries that the child will carry a stigma for life.)

This is an excerpt from in Hanoi:

Thank you, I will look more into and yes you are eight, fiancee... but auto correct don鈥檛 have that listed.. so as long I agree and she consent that it鈥檚 my baby it鈥檚 okay to have my name on the birth certificate and with proof of my citizenship from the US, that baby can have a western name? Is blood DNA also required? I was told by some that a DNA blood test is required to show proof that I鈥檓 the father but I鈥檓 not sure how that all works in Vietnam Nha trang, she will be giving birth at A international hospital..

I haven鈥檛 checked the embassy since I worked a lot and my time is very limited.. I was told by couple people and also google and everything was different experience.. I will check the website about it... my future spouse was told by her aunts that we need to be married in order for me to be on the baby birth certificate...

There's a form to fill out for everything including your acknowledgement of the child, but it鈥檚 not complicated.

If you wish for the child to have dual citizenship, I suggest you let him/her be a Vietnamese first.聽 There are several reasons to do so, but as I鈥檓 traveling at the moment, it鈥檚 not possible to explain in detail.

If you check in my activity in 2018, there was a comment in which I wrote at length on dual citizenship and the procedure of naming a child as permissible by VN law.

Is dual citizenship more complicated? I read that for the child to be a Vietnamese citizens first, would have to register with the mom and her home address? Whichever is easier and I鈥檓 not sure if dual citizenship is even necessary. As long it鈥檚 possible for me to be on his/her birth certificate and for him/her to have a western first name. Also for the us citizenship process to be easier and smoother..
