Consular legalization in Hanoi

Need a document legalized for use abroad or in Vietnam? We handle the consular legalization (hợp pháp hóa lãnh sự) for you, with notarization included if your document needs it.

What is consular legalization?

Consular legalization is the multi-step process that confirms a public document so that another country will accept it. Since Vietnam joined the Apostille Convention on 11 September 2026, it is only needed for countries outside the Convention, for Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic, and for documents the Convention does not cover.

If your destination is a Convention member, an apostille is usually quicker and cheaper.

When the destination country is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, or when it is Germany, Austria or the Czech Republic, which objected to Vietnam's accession. We check this for you before we start.
