Apostille for Vietnam

Notarisation of Documents for Vietnam

LEGALISATION AND APOSTILLE REQUIREMENTS

If you require notarisation of documents for Vietnam, our London-based legalisation service can guide you through the full process with clarity and efficiency. We prepare your documents carefully so they meet Vietnamese authority requirements without delay.

Vietnam is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Therefore, documents must first undergo UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) legalisation. After this stage, the documents must then proceed to consular legalisation at the Vietnamese Embassy in London. Consequently, both steps remain essential for acceptance in Vietnam.

Moreover, you must provide a photocopy of each document alongside the original. For this reason, early preparation helps avoid rejection or resubmission. In addition, our team checks all documents before submission to reduce unnecessary processing time.

Timeframes and Fees

Vietnamese consular legalisation normally takes:

Standard service: at least 5 working days – £40 per document
Express service: 1 working day – £60 per document

Although express processing offers faster turnaround, availability can vary. Therefore, we always recommend confirming timelines before submission, especially for urgent matters.
