Frequently Asked Questions
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a form of authentication issued by a designated authority in a country that is a signatory to the Hague Convention. It certifies the origin of a public document so it is accepted in other Hague Convention member countries. Vietnam is not a member, so apostilled documents still need additional legalization at the Vietnamese embassy/consulate.
Which documents commonly need apostille?
Birth certificates (for marriage registration), criminal background checks (for work permits and TRC), degree certificates (for work permits), marriage certificates (for dependent TRC), and incorporation documents (for company setup).
Can you handle this if I am already in Vietnam?
Yes. We coordinate with agents in your home country and the Vietnamese embassy there on your behalf. You do not need to return home to get documents authenticated.
How long does it take?
Timelines vary significantly by country - from 1 week (UK, Australia) to 4-6 weeks (USA varies by state). We provide a realistic timeline estimate once we know your document origin.
My document is already apostilled. Is that enough?
Not always. Vietnam requires additional legalization at the Vietnamese embassy/consulate in your home country for documents to be accepted by most Vietnamese authorities. We check whether your documents need the extra step.
Our Guarantee
If a document we authenticated is rejected by Vietnamese authorities due to our authentication error, we redo the process at no additional cost.
