In order to use official documents in Vietnam, whether it’s a University Degree, Non-Criminal Background Check, Marriage Certificate, Birth/Death Certificate, Corporate Documents, etc., they will have to be authenticated by the Vietnamese Consulate/Embassy in the country the document was issued in.

Planning on working in Vietnam?

In order to obtain work permit to legally be employed in Vietnam, your University Diploma AND Criminal Background Check must be authenticated by the Vietnamese Consulate/Embassy in the USA.

Vietnam Document Authentication Steps

STEP ONE

GENERAL DOCUMENTS: Must first be notarized by a local notary public.

STATE AND FEDERALLY ISSUED DOCUMENTS: Do not require a local notary and can skip this step. Federal Documents can go directly to step 3.

STEP TWO

GENERAL DOCUMENTS: Must then be Authenticated  by the Secretary of State that the document was notarized in. For example, if your Diploma was notarized  in the state of GA, then it must be Authenticated by the Secretary of State in GA.

FEDERALLY ISSUED DOCUMENTS: Documents issued by the Federal government can skip this step. 

STATE GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS: Marriage, Birth, Death Certificates. These documents must be Authenticated by the Secretary of State that issued the document before sending to Monument Visa.

For Example: If you were born in California then your birth certificate must be Authenticated by the California Secretary of State before sending to us.

STEP THREE

Documents are submitted to the US Department of State in Washington DC.

STEP FOUR

Documents are submitted to the Vietnamese Consulate for Legalization.
