Apostille for Vietnam

When using official documents in Vietnam, you may need an apostille. Vietnam’s Apostille Convention status took effect on September 11, 2026, giving eligible public documents a simpler authentication path.

What Are the Steps to Obtain an Apostille for Vietnam?

The Hague Convention of 1961 made the apostille a standard way for member countries to recognize eligible public documents. The Convention entered into force for Vietnam on September 11, 2026, so eligible documents can now follow the apostille process.

Here is a basic outline of the steps required to obtain an apostille for use in Vietnam:

1. Documents must be notarized, or you have a certified copy –
   1. for non-governmental documents such as school transcripts, power of attorney, and bank letter, you must have each document notarized.
   1. You must obtain a certified copy from the state for vital records such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, and certificates of good standing.
2. The Secretary of the State Office must certify the notary seal or the certified copy by adding a statement page and the required seal and signature.
3. Arrange a certified Vietnamese translation if the receiving authority requires one.
4. The appropriate state or federal authority issues the apostille. Eligible documents no longer require the former Vietnamese Embassy legalization step.

The correct issuing authority depends on the document type and where it was issued. One Source Process reviews those details and routes the document through the applicable apostille process.
