What do I enter in identity card number on the e-visa form?

The identity card field is for a national ID card number, and it is different from your passport number. The passport number goes in the passport section of the form.

Many countries, including the US, the UK and Australia, have no national ID card. If the field is optional, leave it blank. If it will not let you continue, read the on-screen help and check the field again, because the form can change.

Do not copy your driver's license or social security number into this field.

If you hold a national ID and want to include it, enter it exactly as printed. Mistakes in data can lead to an amendment request and extra days.

If you are unsure, apply through VietnamVisa.com. We check the form data before it goes to immigration, and you can compare the form's fields with the e-visa guide.
