General rules

Law on AI and Decree 142/2026: In force since 1 March 2026. Machine-readable marks on AI audio, images and video; a clear label on deep fakes; a notice on misleading text.

Rules for specific sectors

News and broadcast media

Decree 237/2026 on the Press Law, Art. 24: In force since 1 July 2026. A clear notice and label, in an easy-to-see spot, on AI content that could mislead about real events or people.
Publishing Law amendment (Law 17/2026/QH16), Art. 27: Passed; applies from 1 March 2027. A notice and label on publications made wholly or partly with AI; the Government will set the form.

In the API

Send markets=vn on each call to POST /v1/mark: a call that lacks what Vietnam's rules need is refused before anything is counted, and each mark gets a receipt of what it carries for each law.

What a mark for Vietnam carries, by kind of file
File	Made with AI	A deep fake (`deepfake=true`)
Picture	Watermark and Content Credentials	Watermark, Content Credentials and the visible label
Clip	Watermark and Content Credentials	Watermark, Content Credentials and the visible label
Song	Watermark and Content Credentials	Refused for now: its rules need spoken notices in audio, expected December 2026.
