Families filing U.S. immigration petitions, students applying abroad, and buyers verifying Vietnamese property all end up translating the same stack: household registration books, land-use certificates, and commune-stamped civil records. These are usually scanned pages full of grids and red official seals, and Reglyph is built for exactly that — OCR + AI reads each page, the Vietnamese is erased from the image, and the English is typeset back into the same grid.
Vietnamese stacks tone marks on top of vowel marks (ấ, ề, ữ, ộ), and cheap OCR routinely confuses them — turning Nguyễn into Nguyen or worse, which is a real problem when a name must match a passport. Documents like the hộ khẩu are also booklets of ruled tables where each row is a family member. Reglyph's OCR is tuned for full diacritics and its re-typesetting keeps every row and column aligned with the original, so the English page maps line-for-line onto the source.
These are the Vietnamese-language documents people most often translate to English — each keeps its original layout, seals, and tables.
Drop in a scanned Vietnamese PDF (one from your phone's scanner app works) or a digital PDF. Image-only PDFs are fine — no text layer needed.
OCR extracts the Vietnamese text, then it's translated to English while the original text is erased from the page.
Get a clean PDF where tables, figures, stamps, and numbers sit exactly where they were.
Yes — scan the pages into one PDF (a phone scanner app works) and upload it; Reglyph translates the whole booklet while keeping each family member's row in its original position in the table. That row alignment matters because immigration officers cross-reference entries against other documents. It's machine translation, so for USCIS and similar filings a certified translator should review and certify the final version.
On a clear printed scan, yes — the OCR reads full Vietnamese diacritics (Trần, Phạm, Nguyễn) rather than stripping them. That said, results depend on image quality: a sharp scan in good light beats a blurry one every time. Handwritten name fields, which appear in older giấy khai sinh, are the weak spot — always proofread names against the passport spelling.
Upload a scanned PDF of the certificate and Reglyph returns an English version with the plot table, measurements, and issuing-authority block laid out exactly as in the original — the red seal stays untouched on the page. Numbers and land-parcel codes are preserved in place, which is what lawyers reviewing a purchase actually need. A bilingual side-by-side export is available if the other party wants to verify against the Vietnamese.
USCIS requires a translator's certification, not a particular company. Translate the giấy khai sinh or hộ khẩu here in full, diacritics and seals intact, then have a qualified translator certify it — ask whether they'll work from an existing translation.
