Hi,
I am a French citizen in need of a Vietnamese Criminal Record number 2 to go to Canada. I lived in HCMC for a year in 2016.
I have tried to obtain the document online, but it is very difficult. I got a number online then sent by post the necessary documents + fee but never heard back. Do you offer help with that problem? Could you tell me more about it?
