Apostille & Legalization for Vietnam
How to authenticate a U.S. document for use in Vietnam: whether it needs an apostille or embassy legalization, translation requirements, and how we handle the whole process.
Vietnam is not a Hague Convention member, so an apostille alone is not accepted. The document must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State and then legalized at the Vietnam embassy or consulate.
If you are sending a U.S. document to Vietnam — for work permits, marriage, adoption, or another purpose — it must be authenticated before Vietnam authorities will accept it. This page explains exactly what Vietnam requires and how we handle it end to end.
