IV. Guidelines for the Student Verification Letter

1. A student verification letter is a required substitute document in the following cases:

• Student ID cards are integrated with bank cards.
• Students enrolled in university transfer or second-degree full-time programs where the ID card does not clearly indicate that the program is full-time.

2. Required Content and Format:

• The verification letter must include all of the following:

– Student’s personal information, major/field of study, type of program (must specify that it is full-time), cohort year, and the reason for issuing the verification letter (e.g., no ID card, lost card, etc.);

– The validity period of the verification letter;

– The official stamp of the institution and signature of the authorized representative.

• The document must be in good condition – not peeled, torn or crushed. All details must be clear with no signs of modification.
• Note: For verification letters without a stated validity period, IIG Vietnam will consider them valid for 60 days from the date of issue.
