If you’re moving to Vietnam for a new Job or expanding your UK Company to Vietnam, you’ll be required to present your Documentation to the relevant Organisation in Vietnam. If the documentation has been issued outside of Vietnam, for example a UK Birth Certificate, it will need to be Legalised in the UK before it can be used in Vietnam.
Legalising documents for Vietnam:
There are multiple steps to get documentation legalised for Vietnam and they all depend on what your documents are, for example:
Personal Document: UK Birth Certificate
- UK Apostille Stamp
- Embassy Stamp from the Vietnamese Embassy
The UK Birth Certificate can be submitted straight away for the UK Apostille Stamp as it is a Government issued Document that holds the Signature of a registrar, you must ONLY submit an original or Certified Copy from the General Registry Office.
Once Apostille Stamped it can be submitted to the Vietnamese Embassy for the Final stage of Legalisation.
Personal Document: UK Degree Certificate
- Certification from a UK Practicing Solicitor
- UK Apostille Stamp
- Embassy Stamp from the Vietnamese Embassy
The UK Degree Certificate requires a UK Practicing Solicitor to create a Certified Copy of the Original Degree Certificate, once this has taken place the Certified Copy can be submit for the UK Apostille Stamp.
Once Apostille Stamped it can be submit to the Vietnamese Embassy for the Final stage of Legalisation.
Are Company Documents processed the same way?
Yes, but the process can depend on the type of Company Document being submit for Legalisation just like with Personal Documents, for example:
Certificate Of Good Standing from Companies House
This Document can be submit for the Apostille Stamp straight away as it holds a wet ink signature from a Companies House Officer on the original Document.
Certificate Of Incorporation from Companies House
This Document requires Certification from a UK Practicing Solicitor before it can be Apostilled, this is because the document is obtained directly from the Companies House Website as a PDF Document.
Do my Documents need to be Translated?
The Vietnamese authorities accept documents in English, however we always advise to check with the people requiring your documentation first to ensure you meet their requirements.
