01Route

Apostille accepted.

Vietnam has accepted the apostille since September 11, 2026. Before then, U.S. documents needed embassy legalization.

Vietnam became a party to the Hague Apostille Convention in 2026, so a U.S. document now needs one apostille from the authority that issued or notarized it. Because the change is recent, ask the receiving office in Vietnam what it will accept; we confirm the route with you before submitting.

We do not give immigration or legal advice.

02Common documents

Documents clients send to Vietnam.

  • Birth and marriage certificates for family and residency matters
  • Diplomas, transcripts and FBI background checks for work permits
  • Powers of attorney for property and banking
  • Business documents for company registration

03Translation

Translation needs.

Documents used in Vietnam usually need a Vietnamese translation. We translate English, Spanish, Arabic and French, not Vietnamese, so ask the receiving office which translators it accepts. We can apostille your document before it is translated.

06FAQ

Vietnam questions.

Do I still need the Vietnamese embassy?

Not for authentication. Since September 11, 2026, an apostille replaces embassy legalization for Vietnam. Ask the receiving office if it has its own extra requirements.

Which apostille does my FBI check need for a Vietnamese work permit?

A U.S. Department of State apostille, because the FBI report is a federal document.
